The lack of emergency beacon is the real WTF. Not even an inflatable buoy. Using a game pad is probably OK. But no emergency method to mark their last location

The lack of emergency beacon is the real WTF. Not even an inflatable buoy. Using a game pad is probably OK. But no emergency method to mark their last location or even surface?
- jibe 3y agoThey did have multiple emergency methods to surface. Neither those, nor a beacon help if it imploded under pressure.
- ghostpepper 3y agoThere was some speculation that any sort of implosion would've been detected by military sonar, and it hasn't been yet. I do not know if that's accurate -- just repeating what I've heard.
- lyu07282 3y agodoesn't necessarily mean they ever tell anyone about it, it would just reveal capabilities.
- simonblack 3y agoSeeing that everything stopped at once, I'd bet that is exactly what happened. Shades of the Thresher disaster. No doubt we'll hear a few months down the track that the Navy's sound receivers did actually pick up the implosion noise.

- 2muchcoffeeman 3y agoAh, I didn’t see that they had emergency resurfacing methods. I don’t have much hope for these guys.
- saalweachter 3y agoCan you buy off the shelf emergency beacons that can surface from 400 ATM or broadcast through 13000 ft of water?
- ClumsyPilot 3y agowhy does it need to be off the shelf, their submarine is not off the shelf. If off the shelf stuff odbly does 200 ATM, then limit your depth or mame custom ones.
- jaclaz 3y agoHonest question, how would an inflatable something work at those depths? 4,000 meters should mean 400 bars of pressure from the water, would the thing need to be inflated at more than 400 bar?
