A submarine was lost on its way to see the wreck of the Titanic. The rescue efforts of the submarine, whose tickets were sold for $250,000 and which was carrying 5 people, were still going on, while I was preparing this video. The contact with the submarine, which was carrying the crew, which set off from Canada's New Foundland island, was lost 1 hour and 45 minutes after diving last Sunday. Thereupon, a rescue operation was launched with the United States coast guard teams and ships departing from Canada. In this operation, in which airplanes also participate, some special microphones that listen to the depths of the sea are placed. While some of these microphones attached to the buoys do passive listening, some send sonar signals, a kind of "ping" under the sea, to actively monitor their reflection and try to locate objects under the sea. This website shows in real time the current position of the surface ship Polar Prince that carried the submarine there, and the location of other ships in its vicinity. You can directly monitor all detailed information about the ship and its movements. According to the website of OceanGate, which produced the submarine but has yet to receive the slightest update on this event, the vehicle is used for field research and investigation, data collection, film and media production, and deep-sea testing of hardware and software. It is thought that there is enough oxygen in this submarine called Titan, which is 6.7 meters/ 21.9feet long, with a small round vision port in front and trying to descend into the Titanic shipwreck at a depth of 3,800 meters/12,467feet, to last for a maximum of 96 hours, which is, about 4 days. Therefore, at the moment when this video is broadcast, the oxygen is very low. It is expected to be depleted at noon on Thursday. Titan's carbon fiber hull connects two domes made of composite titanium, a material that can withstand deep-sea pressures. At 3800 meters/ 12,467feet below sea level, it is exposed to pressures approximately 380 times greater than the atmospheric pressure we are experiencing on the earth's surface. Now scanning an area of 20,000 km² / 7722 square miles is not as easy as you can imagine and I hope that they have started using some techniques like the Bayes' theorem. Bayes' theorem is a probability theorem used to make statistical inferences. Just last month I made and posted a detailed video about a treasure hunter using this technique to find treasures. In search and rescue studies, better predictions can be made about certain events or situations by using Bayes' theorem. It is believed that the following people were inside the submarine. 48-year-old Pakistani-British businessman Shahzade Davud and his 19-year-old son Suleiman, 58-year-old British billionaire Hamish Harding, 77-year-old French diver Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and 61-year-old Stockton Rush, CEO of the company that built the submarine. This last name, Stockton Rush, while describing the features of this submarine last year, was boasting that there was only one button inside. If you notice, this is a material similar to the ones used in elevators.
Even more interestingly, He shows that they use an ordinary game console controller to control the submarine. He even took that joystick in his hand and made a demo like "if you push forward, it goes forward, if you pull it back, it goes". What was the purpose of proudly explaining the features of such a vehicle, whose tickets are sold for $250,000, is really hard to understand. So I can't understand if he was trying to express that it was minimalist or something else. During the search and rescue efforts to find this submarine in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, it was said that some sounds were caught by the sonar buoys very recently. According to the information provided by the United States officials, these voices were heard on Tuesday for about 4 hours and at regular intervals of half an hour. Of course, it is not possible to talk about the exact source of these before reaching the detailed data. But they are said to be short, sharp and relatively high-frequency sounds that might be made by striking the surface inside the submarine. An expert at the Australian submarine institute says that since the sounds are made at regular 30-minute intervals, it is very unlikely that it came from a source other than humans. It is said that they may have made these sounds deliberately, probably on the advice of that old diver in the submarine and with the thought that they might be caught by the sonars. However, some other experts state that similar sounds were heard during the search and rescue works of some planes that were lost in the ocean and could not be found before, but unfortunately it did not work. These sounds may also be coming from the wreckage of the Titanic itself. So, what could have happened in the depths of the ocean below?
