Submersible

DUDE.

This situation is GRIPPING. 

It's incredibly sad, but mannnnn. I've been following it like a crazy person, watching anyone who will post a video about it. Just to hear all the angles.

But this freaking submersible imploded and all 5 crew members parished.

And the paying customers paid $250,000 for their final journey. 

To see the Titanic.

Through a 21 inch tiny window in a tin can.

Ok, sorry, aluminum and carbon fiber.

Manuevered with a Logitech game controller. 

No bathroom.

The hope is that the pressure was just so crazy that it imploded and they died in milliseconds. 

Fascinating.

Going down 13,000ft, which is deeper than anything ever. Which is just insane. 

And you're bolted in from the OUTSIDE. 

With 17 teeny, tiny 3/8 bolts. 

Like, wut? 

So even if the surfaced on their own, they wouldn't have been able to get out. And the clock was just ticking with how much O2 they had left. Which of course, was just an estimate because this hadn't actually been done before (5 men being trapped and needing the emergency O2 supply).

That is just insane to me. 

I know people love adventure and these types of expeditions are a thing. But I'd think they'd want it to be like suuuuuper buttoned up. We know way less of the deep ocean than we do of space. 

So yeah, I'll go up in a rocket first before going down into the middle of the earth. 

I've been seeing that they've found pieces of the sub and are bringing it to the surface.

At first I thought that nothing would be left...but then, I started reading some unconfirmed stories about the last few moments and that the crew started releasing pieces of the sub so they could ascent faster. Who knows what's true at this point. So much speculation and so much fake news.

Incredibly sad though, for sure. 

I wonder what more will come out as they investigate further.
