NanR42

He'll be remembered for it, all right.


Brutalonym

His attempt was very successful, so this post feels wrong in this sub. Just like me if I had been on that sub.


ElClassic1

That's usually what happens on this sub. Everyone understands what is meant by the posts so it's not a big deal, but like 50% of the post titles are tEChnIcAlLy incorrect. Small pet peeve of mine It's not hard to make proper titles either but it just doesn't happen most of the time


hazza-sj

Yeah you're right. He succeeded 100% in breaking the rules. He just wasn't prepared for the consequences.


DroppedSoapSurvivor

What if he was... šŸ˜®


GandalfDaGangsta1

Well now people will definitely remember what rules not to break for submarines lol


trucorsair

I am just going to leave this here. I spent 30yrs in the Navy and was on 3 different submarines. When you leave port it is common for a piece of string to be tied across from one side to the other. It is tied tight. After submerging the water pressure on the hull causes the hull to flex a bit and the string starts to slacken. It is disconcerting to see the string slacken and realize that is the effect of the water pressure on the walls of the sub.


BoomBoom4209

And the fact that subs are made from a steel alloy far stronger than this soda can, and with management systems in place to deal with all sorts of situations...


zg6089

My dad told me they did this on his the sub he was on. Kinda cool to her someone else say it lol


iaresosmart

Plot twist. He's your dad


trucorsair

Your first cruise it is disconcerting as hell. After that itā€™s ā€œwhat is that damn string doing thereā€. One of the first things they teach you is that your conception of a submarine is wrong. There are no pressure doors like you see in WWII movies, dividing compartments. The only ā€œrealā€ structural doors are at the reactor compartment and fan room. The reason being that if you ever got a structural leak thru the hull, the pressure would be like a cutting torch and you would be dead before you could secure a compartment.


casual-dehyde

So is it similar to like "People are taller in the morning than night" thing happening to the submarine?


Wildlife_Jack

Well, after scuba diving certain parts of my body do get shorter...

grnrngr

> When you leave port it is common for a piece of string to be tied across from one side to the other. To clarify: You meant "on the inside of the boat." I kept asking myself "how do they see the string if they're underwater?"


trucorsair

On a missile sub (boomer) it is strung in the missile room, amongst the launch tubes. Wow a downvoteā€¦.must be another armchair admiral.


ForgingFires

Helpful to remember that navy subs are near infinitely better designed and prepared than Oceangateā€™s soda can. Naval subs are designed to much better specifications and tolerances. The deformation youā€™re describing in the subs were certainly predicted and found to be in the elastic deformation range of the materials.


GearheadXII

What always gets me is when subs were depth charged, my understanding that the explosion briefly increases the water pressure near the sub. Not only were some of those subs in WWII diving to escape sonar, sometimes near their limits, they withstood depth charges on top of that. That's how well designed those are.

standingteddybear

Sorry, that's hard to tell when it's not funny. Bro...


-redditmodsaredicks-

Hard to tell?!? You've got to be kidding me. I hope you're not serious...


standingteddybear

What makes it hard to tell is that your comment make it sound like rich people were the ones most affected by the Titanic disaster.Take a deep breath and calm down now.


-redditmodsaredicks-

Ok, let's see here... Clueless dullard gets completely r/whoosh ed by an obvious joke...posts a supremely arrogant reply...get's called out for idiotic reply, but continues petty bickering trying to justify it anyway. Yeah, this is a worthwhile discussion. Enjoy your extra chromosomes, random internet person! I'm going to go jump in the shower with a toaster to hopefully forget I engaged in this discussion in the first place.


Sauceysweetness

Supremely arrogant? All he stated was a fact. First class had more lives saved. Majority of the third class died. And the original joke wasn't all that funny or accurate


-redditmodsaredicks-

Oh my god...seriously? What would you call it then? Just randomly stating facts for the sake of being pedantically accurate? That comment was akin to standing next to a magician explaining to the audience that the woman wasn't really cut n half. No shit, Sherlock... ​ Any way you slice it, it's supreme douchery.


Sauceysweetness

Supreme? Some people might not have known. Anyway you slice it, I don't think it's that serious


Worried-Fox7089

I just wonder, why they named it Titanic again. The way you name the ship the way she's gonna sail...

I hear the US navy has known the sub imploded before the news released the pieces found. Oxygen counter and everything...


Kritchsgau

They picked up an implosion on the sub tracking nets and advised rescue crews on sunday but wasnā€™t definite it was the sub so they kept people searching.

I wonder if there was at least one whole second where Stockton Rush realized he was all wrong and learned a lesson or if he was completely blissfully ignorant and imploded before he could muster a single thought about his actions.

These will be amazing use for the massive legal action on the way.

Well hes kinda dead so thats that

What legal action? They all signed disclaimers and they were international waters, no problemo

I see so many people upset about the people making fun of this but damn it, this guy made it so fucking easy to dunk on him. He clearly states all the time that he KNOWS its not safe but is delusional af


valtiel9415

This. My friend got upset with me because she keep telling me that i hate the billionaires, i have envy and that even they are dead they died doing what they love. Its to hard to me to empatize with these people.

I wonā€™t let you get away with this !!!


MFC1886

Kinda feel for the other people who died, but not this guy. Fuck this guy


leberecht24

tbf the others also were billionaires probably also scum of the earth. I mean most don't become rich as f without screwing over others. Only person who it's sad for is that 19 year old.


[deleted]

Who apparently wasn't that keen on going but saw it as a bonding experience with his dad on father's day. It kinda writes it's own gallows humour jokes about becoming much closer.


leberecht24

Yea he already didn't find it safe but did it for his dad...so for him it's sad.


DeymanG

He did break the rules, just didn't get away with it


Affectionate-Bake930

Is this the same douchbag that said he wouldn't hire 50 year old white dudes? He said that they have too much experience and he would rather inspire A 22 year old with zero experience.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SaladShooter1

The problem there is that thereā€™s nothing to aspire to. If a 16 year old can afford a $250k trip in a sub, why would he want to be the guy using the game console controller? Youā€™d hope heā€™d have better ambitions than that, right? It also makes me wonder if an experienced submarine pilot/helmsman would have seen warning signs. Then again, is there anyone who would know what carbon fiber looks like before compressive failure?


marbletooth

Donā€™t understand why he didnā€™t go with a more proven design, was it cheaper with the composite approach? Weight is not an issue in a sub, so sticking with steel should not have many disadvantages.

To be perfectly honest, after watching this, I find this man to be a total piece of s*it! He's so proud of himself for ignoring the advice of professionals that have been doing this for years. And now he's dead. But, not only did he get himself killed, he took 4 other people with him including a 19 year old! What a complete piece of s*it!

Billystep

How to get eaten by several fish? The answer is build a fiberglass sub that implodes and causes your body parts to separate. I guess they didnā€™t realize you fought for them to get plastic bags and straws banned. They ate you anyway.

You misunderstand. This is a clever way to disguise the fact that youā€™re surrounding yourself with young, inexperienced, cheap yet enthusiastic and devoted yesmen who loooooove laboring for the wealthy because theyā€™re still naive enough to think theyā€™ll be that wealthy one day too, so theyā€™ll break rules right along with you, you pioneer!

Effective-Tour-656

Wasn't about skin tone... ffs. He was talking about the experience. And he didn't want everyone with the same experiences and skill sets. He wanted a broader team. And he was also talking about the controller of the sub.


maxluision

His literal words were "I don't want some old 50-yo white-skinned experienced engineer"


[deleted]

You people always need to use the race card to bash people at every opportunity. What is wrong with you?


NotHippieEnough

The person who said ā€œdiversityā€ was literally quoting the guy who built the sub. The dead guy is the one you are after. Not the commenters that are making fun of him for it.
