    Yeah..... it makes me really emotional man. Realizing that you failed your child completely. It makes me sick. I felt like a total piece of shit when I accidentally pinched my daughter while putting on her bike helmet.

    That's with a sub built of a solid material like steel, not a composite like carbon fiber.

    A solid material would lose structural integrity all at once. The fiber could begin delamination before it failed. This would likely be pretty obvious and horrifying.

    It sounds like the weights weren't found with the wreckage. Which would indicate they knew the hull was failing and were ascending in the hopes that the lowering pressure on the ascent would allow the failing hull to get them to the surface...

    But yeah, once it went, it would have probably gone fast like described in your quote.

    Apropos of nothing I watched a documentary on the Columbia shuttle disaster tonight, I think to kind of clear my head.

    Whether you’re a billionaire hobbyist explorer or a scientist with seven masters degrees and a phd, the earth treats you the same in the end. It doesn’t matter what your intentions are, what your deeds are good or bad, far above the ground or far below it, the earth does not care. It’s this all encompassing indifference that will remind anyone willing to listen that we are very small, and we are very fragile, and we are all the same to the earth.

    Don't disrespect or underestimate mother nature. Good rule of thumb.

    I know it's not the most scientific example.... but I remember in Hunt for Red October, the sub was meant to sound geologic, not like a submarine.

    Are they going to bring the pieces of the sub up, to investigate what happened? Or are they just kind of accepting the sub was inadequately built, it failed, they tried to ascend, and kablooey?

    One of the people who died owned the salvage rights to Titanic. He has pulled up pieces of Titanic to put them in traveling shows and in places like the Titanic museum in the Luxor resort in Vegas. So I'm sure in a few years we will see displays featuring pieces of the sub.

    So pieces will be pulled up for investigation reasons and pieces will be pulled up to profit off of this.

    When she is a teenager she can put on her own bike helmet.

    SMH @ most of the news networks/outlets who are already playing the blame game.

    Wow.

    Damning.

    Dude knew and did it anyway. His arrogance cost him his own life and the life of four others.

    As long as you dont try to clear your head with a doc(I dunno if one exists) about the challenger spaceship. Spoiler, the explosion didn't kill them.

    The explosion didn’t kill the Columbia astronauts either.

    Parachutists call it "Deceleration sickness." Usually fatal.

    Yeah, I imagine both sets of astronauts died or were unconscious very soon after cabin depressurization, since the altitude was so high.
