Tourist sub goes missing

  1. Bradley Florida Man
    I have a bigger fear of drowning than I do being shot.

    It freaks me out when I can see the bottom and it looks close when I know it's not. I can't swim properly, would do five strokes then tire and they aren't proper strokes. I went to a maritime museum here and there was a room like the bottom of the ocean, I felt fear and dizzy. It seems strange to me because not much else scares me. I can do abseiling.

    I didn't get my kayaking certificate because you had to capsize and stay under for three seconds. I couldn't stay that long.

    Originally posted by Kafka I didn't know know a quick and painless death with no chance for introspection existed. I wouldn't want it though because I have a fear of deep water.

    I have a crippling fear of drowning/deep water too, hence the issue of needing something that will definitely only collapse at a depth where I'd die instantly. My family used to rent a cottage on a lake for a couple weeks every year, and the end of the dock at the cottage was probably at about ~8 feet. 20 feet out from the dock and you couldn't really see the bottom, and even that terrified me (even knowing the lake was probably no deeper than 50 feet at any place, and being a competent swimmer - it's just the unknown, maaaaaan).

    The compartment I'm in flooding at 500 feet, and me dying from the bends as I swam to the surface (or just drowning) would fucking SUCK. Worst ways to die. It's kinda neat to learn that deep water is either basically the best way to die or the absolute worst, with ~no in-between.

    Why do you think you're scared of it? My fear isn't drowning it's just being at the bottom of the ocean and nor alone.

    Have you seen a cure for wellness?

    So if somebody put your feet in a pail of wet cement, waited an hour, then dumped you over the side of the boat in the deepest part of the ocean, that would be upsetting for you?

    So you admit you have a history then? now you're "one of the good ones" is what you're saying. but you had a history of course?

    IDK what a cure for wellness is, but I think it's just the "unknown" aspect of abyss, y'know? The fear of the dark, more or less. Back when I lived with my parents, I'd still get the urge to full-on sprint up the stairs after turning all the lights in the basement off. Why am I afraid of the dark? For fear of what it hides, I guess. Doesn't really matter if on a conscious level I know my basement is safe or that there are no terrifying deadly monsters in the freshwater lakes of Northern Ontario, y'know? Deep water is basically that dark basement fear, plus the water itself is deadly.

    I mean, the fact that cement is incredibly basic and would give me chemical burns long before it set around my feet would be extremely unpleasant in its own right. Being tossed overboard and drowning would be a very unpleasant and terrifying way to die too though, of course. Drowning is for sure in my top 5 terrible ways to go. Could maybe be even worse if death isn't a thing though - like if I'm already in hell, and as a result of this I just ended up trapped at the bottom of the ocean until the sun boiled all the water away a few billion years from now.

    I think a drone craft controlled from the comfort of your rich mansion Nintendo pad would be more idea. Just you, the fireplace, glass of brandy and a cigar in your recliner chair and your 120 inch Bravia and viewing the subs external 3D camera in real time via satellite and a surface ship anchored with fiberoptic cables submerged with drone attached


    Explore for hours inside the ship and out.

    Who in the fuck would want to b cramped with others to be in a small isolated capsule with no way out during an emergency.. surfacing fast is the death bends

    The worst would be when you go down to a few thousand feet and it's cold as ice and dark as an abyss, then you hit the long weeds.

    Well, at least if death is real, I'd be blessedly dead/unconscious long before then. I wonder how long it would take, if death isn't real, for me to come to terms with my situation. And, how long after that it would take for me to begin going completely insane.

    look at a photo of the actual sub

    it looks like the steel/titanium frame that the viewport was bolted into was just glued to the CF body and popped clean off

    So basically all they need to do is make a new carbon fibre tube and they'll be good to go?
