Fish food

They are nothing but a grease slick in the water column.

they were instantly vaporized by the implosion and water pressure. i doubt there's anything left for the fish to eat, and the organic matter remaining would have probably been taken away by ocean currents. i'm no expert, but that's my assumption...there's nothing left.

Very bad deal overall, but I would not think the passengers were oblivious to the dangers and made bad decisions based on what is and public about the manufacturing of this "Sub" Yep, anytime we move out of our normal environment we increase our chances for disaster. Some of us like pushing the limits more than others. Some of us trust others opinions of what is safe or not more than others. Some of us have had enough life and really don't give a damned. They all made their decisions to do what they wanted to do. Yep, feel sorry for the families who will be missing their relatives. But those people made their own decision to take a chance. We all have to decide our lives. They made their decisions and died with them. Nope, not for me, I think I will work on finding a more stupider way, like walking under my 400lb garage door when a spring breaks or fall off a ladder or let a chain saw get away from me cleaning brush or something like that. At least it was quick with out a lot of suffering and pain.

Titanium is most definitely not brittle. Sheet titanium will actually turn back flat after hydra forming it. We made some cabin louvres for Gulfstream's cabin air system. Two weeks later they were just as flat as before forming. Titanium has to be hot formed to hold it's shape. It has incredible fatigue strength too and that's why it's used in aerospace from the skin on SR71s to bulkheads in Israeli F-18s back in the day.

Carbon Fibre on the other hand...

news has reported that the navy recorded the implosion and notified the coast guard several days ago.
Yep so all those flights searching the surface and other wasted resources were just a distraction for the whole Biden stuff going on this week. I wonder what distraction will happen next week?
