The submersible isn’t strong enough to hold the weight of that long of a cable. And it would have to be a strong cable because that long string you proposed would easily snap or quickly deteriorate at those depths and being exposed to salt water, the ocean currents, being anchored to the boat and pulled along, etc.
Salt water takes some time to eat through things. But the constant yanking of the cable fastened to 2 points 4 km apart would do a number both on it and on the bits it is affixed to.
The submersible weighs over 20,000 lbs. Things don't become lighter in water, that is a illusion due to the buoyant effect. So you'd need a "string" capable of supporting a torque of at least 20,000 lbs plus the force acting on it to work against gravity and water resistance to actually pull it up. It would actually need to be over 2 miles long. You'd need a reel to support a line of that size and a mechanism to crank it faster than a couple feet per second, or it would take well over a 100 hours just to pull it up, let alone get it down. Finally, on the subject of getting it down, how do you propose you sink it and attach it? No one can just go down there and clip a hook onto a hitch. At best you'd have a weight attached and some kind of piloted drone, but in effect you'd be playing the crane game at the arcade and those are designed to be lost
>Finally, on the subject of getting it down, how do you propose you sink it and attach it?
Not to mention that if whatever you attach it to doesn't distribute the forces just right, you will eventually tear the sub open as you keep pulling.
This is the most moronic post I've read in a long time. Congratulations. Everyone in this thread has now become dumber for reading that. I reward you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
So you’re trapped in a metal coffin in another sub?
Let’s pretend that’s a good idea:
A submarine capable of bearing the weight of the submersible and doing the work of another submarine would be much more expensive. They don’t have the technology to create some Russian egg situation.
The costs would rapidly rise and at some point, you might as well just have a military style billion dollar submarine and skip the submersible altogether.
While this company was catering to billionaires, the man who ran the company himself didn’t have that kind of money.
Do you really think if he could afford a proper submarine that could go to those depths, he would have settled for that cheap cylinder controlled by an Xbox controller? He made some innovative design decisions that cut costs to a manageable level.
I don’t think it was meant for repeated expeditions. Even doing maintenance checks, there would be hairline fractures and things that couldn’t be easily detected with the naked eye.
I think it took enough abuse through multiple trips that some unseen damage was taken place because of the immense pressure and that resulted in a catastrophic failure.
Take a look at that submersible and tell me you think that can survive more than 2 or 3 dives.
Imagine you're a richgay about to die a horrible death because some company you're doing business with built an absolute piece of shit deathtrap, and the CEO of Deathtrap Inc. is right there beside you. They probably used up all their air b***hing at him if they didn't outright murder him
Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land
And I paddle away from brave England's white sands
To search for my long ago forgotten friends
To search for the place I hear all sailors end
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind
I'll search without sleeping 'til peace I can find
I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
When their bones in the ocean forever will be

It's the new Elsagate i suppose. This time it's a bunch of domesticated boomers who really want to have their own torture basement for people but it's too much of a hassle so they'd settle for monkeys and paid a bunch of SEABlack folk to torture monkeys for their amusement.
They're steel tube coffins unironically, no windows, cameras outside, air recyclers, anything. Can't even really dive and are designed like really shitty early u-boats. Basically given a compass and told to drive it a certain direction until they either beach it or a boat finds them and can collect the stuff.
>A missing sub big enough for four people?! It's time to call those jerks over in pod 6 and tell them to get their hands off my party sandwich! >No, captain. It's a submarine with four people aboard! It's missing. >Oh... Then where's my sandwich?! >There is no sandwich, captain! >Pod 6 already ate the whole thing?! Those bastards! >Captain, shouldn't we search for the missing submarine. >You do it! I've got a sandwich to find!
He’d have to hire a trained crew. What’s the minimum number needed to run a sub like that.
I think they normally have like 120-130 people. For such a short dive, you’d probably get away with only having 10 percent of the staff. So he’d have to find ex-Navy familiar with that craft and keep over a dozen people on retainer to run the sub.
This CEO was likely operating on a small enough margin as it is. I don’t think he was making the type of money people would assume considering all the expenses.
Hiring all that crew and paying so much for a serviceable sub? The maintenance cost of running a decommissioned submarine?
I think the company would fail pretty quickly. Or he’d have to start charging millions to go on his sub.
Just tell that israelite sheriff in Florida that one of the guys in the sub said they wanted to push him into a giant taffy stretching machine and he'll swim down there and pull them up just so he can have him arrested

I walked in my mom jerking off to this movie on VHS when I was 11.
damn.........
was it hot?
No, she has really dark areola.
I know your struggle. My mom had a huge bush.
Pic of mom?
HOT
nice shark
She seems a little agitated
What was her reaction to you walking in? Did she keep going?
Also which scene was it.
The deleted scene with JJ Astor saving all the dogs.
I would have simply tied a very long string from the submarine to a buoy or boat on the surface so you could never be lost from mechanical failure.
The submersible isn’t strong enough to hold the weight of that long of a cable.

Ships don't corrode from the outside (under the waterline)
He's talking about a cable.

Why didn't they just use wifi?
>blue whale bumps your string
>sub gets pulled up suddenly
>everyone inside has their head explode from rapid decompression
great idea
why not put the sub inside another sub?
so if you go too deep the outer sub will implode, and then you know when it's time to stop and go back up
And if the outer sub fails, you have a backup. Brilliant.
>We heard you like subs, so we put your sub inside another sub!

he should've just bought a used military sub
There are so many of these I don't know which are bait and which are genuine morons
Why does it have to be bait?
Maybe I'm just having FUN with silly ideas?
bait doesn't imply motive
it just means you're pretending to be moronic

anyone who voluntarily got in this thing is a fricking idiot, imagine paying 250k to go to the bottom of the ocean in a can
If you paid me 250,000 I still wouldn't go down in that garage can.

Oh no. Did he at least defeat the Terminator?
I love this shit

Nevermind, it's DeepStar Six, I found it.
Why would he be decompressing while inside the capsule??
He ascended too quickly
It wouldn't, but movie, so dumb.
Hey thats the dude from twin peaks
>He ascended too quickly
More like he ascended too much
abyss was a great movie and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't
Leviathan was better
never heard of it, I don't watch movies made after 2005
It came out in the 80s you stupid dickhead
didn't ask
Leviathan the documentary is actually very good
was he okay?
its actually good morning americas fault for publicizing this company

what
Oh man /gif/ isn't going to like this
Quite to the contrary, it's great news for /gif/ especially. If only the other spammers followed suit.
Wtf is wrong with humanity?
>Police are now pursuing the buyers and several arrests have already been made.
What crime exactly?
monkeying around
this court finds you guilty of monkey business in the first degree
The charges, officer?
The U.S. Constitution should be amended to allow for animal torturers to be tortured themselves upon conviction
Rest assured federal prisoners check paperwork and they will be fed literal shit and eat guts inside every meal and beaten mercilessly.
Based prisoners doing the Lord's work and protecting the helpless, even if it's after-the-fact
Actually the US Constitution should be torn up and repealed
Turkey Tom made a youtube video about this like a year ago
>>A year-long BBC investigation
Why don't they just say "a blacked.com subscription"?
Change monkeys to children and it suddendly becomes inconceivable

Why didnt the sub just go up?
because that's called a blimp dipshit

you're laughing? billionaires are slowly suffocating at the bottom of the ocean and you're laughing?
Yes
GOD DAMN THEM ALL

I will now rescue your sub
Why did he do it bros?
>sub controlled with a video game controller
:/
i mean US military uses xbox controllers for the drones. not even xbox one, they use the 360 versions.
It's smart. New recruits will naturally know how to use one.
The 360 controller was better. It felt more solid.
the funny part isnt that they used a gamepad, its that they used a third party, 20 year old logitech PS2 gamepad
>wireless
It's not for ps2 you mong
Logitech bros...
I would like to believe this isn't real but it's the stupidest outcome possible so of course it's real.
the military has used xbox controllers for bomb robots for 15 years
Bros, I'm worried that consoles will be a laughing stock after this, like can they ever get their reputation back?
On the other hand, how many people have PCs killed by crushing them into paste? 5:0, master race!
I thought it was attached to the ship why don't they just winch it back up
You'd be pulling against the pressure of the whole ocean on top of it. Come on anon, you gotta think about this stuff.
Well it isn't
Watch your fricking tone b***h, frick you.
No frick you b***h
Guys guys come on there's a sub rescue to conduct here. Can you put aside your petty arguments for one day?
James Cameron made this happen so he could make a movie about it.

Are all five people just expected to hold a fart for all those hours?
i implod sub for she
are the wiring and electronics accessible? Do they even have the option of trying to macgyver something
We already found it, people can stop worrying
drug sub or immigrant sub?
Drug sub, half the posts here are from Reddit btw
i heard they just throw away those subs after on use.
one* use
They're steel tube coffins unironically, no windows, cameras outside, air recyclers, anything. Can't even really dive and are designed like really shitty early u-boats. Basically given a compass and told to drive it a certain direction until they either beach it or a boat finds them and can collect the stuff.
why are you moronic
Why didn't they just go underwater so the soldiere drowned? And these people are supposed to be scientists, doctors.
Holy frick
Why can't they just open the hatch and swim up

why don't they just lower a magnet and pick it up?
Magnets dont work under salt water
Use a special salt-water magnet

Why dont they just burn the ocean to evaporate the water
Why haven’t they just called the coast guard?
they're not on teh coast dumbass
why can't the sub just keep going deeper until it comes up on the other side of the world?
It would end up in hell you dummy
No one wants to live in Australia.
I bet if it was a bunch of kids they would have found them already. This seems like an easy way to get rid of some powerful people easily.
>This seems like an easy way to get rid of some powerful people easily.

History repeats itself.
Just tell that israelite sheriff in Florida that one of the guys in the sub said they wanted to push him into a giant taffy stretching machine and he'll swim down there and pull them up just so he can have him arrested
why can't they just design a sub that heats its exterior to boiling, so there is always a layer of air around the sub
It would eventually boil all of the water and all of the fishes would have died.
This is actually what is happening atm
If they know this why can't they find the ship?
Fricking hell

I may be a moron for asking it but why dont they attach a really long cable to it
They don't make cables that long
Why not
Home Depot is out of 4km cables
CEO already publicly apologized
they all float down here
This story has absolutely captivated Cinemaphile as much as the Chris watts saga
What happened to the sub
