Why is USCG investigating TItan, as well as other agencies

Posted by loosilu (aka loosilu2) Jun 25 '23, 21:25

First off, USCG investigates all marine accidents in their jurisdiction.
Second, more importantly, this has never happened before. Cameron said it. No deep sea sub has ever imploded. This is the first time. That means it is critically important to collect data and study it.
You guys, this is real. The ocean is the frontier. It is mostly unknown. AFter this incident, kids are interested.

How is an accident from a Canadian ship 350 miles off the coast of Canada within USCG's jurisdiction? -- nm - Ender Jun 25, 22:55 5
- high seas yo. 350 is outside territorial waters, so fair game if you care enough to go. - mafic Jun 26, 00:22

  - Same reason they were called to do the rescue and not the Canadian coast guard? - loosilu Jun 26, 06:14 2
    - They were, both were there. There were Canadian, US and French ships all involved with the rescue, including the two coast guards. -- (edited) - Andie Jun 26, 06:27 1
      - Oh, I know. But the USCG was the lead agency. That's why all the pressers were done there. -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 26, 06:58
IIRC, back in the 60s we had a military sub disappear on its maiden voyage -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 21:38
To make an analogy, imagine if an airplane or space vessel EXploded because of inequal pressure. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 25, 21:30 2
- or an O ring. we have to know what the failure was. -- nm* - Peglegpete Jun 25, 21:32 1
  - Exactly the same. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 21:35
Can I live in an underwater city yet? -- nm - Flavorize Jun 25, 21:27 4
- man, that’s your solution to everything. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 21:58 1
  - 🤣 -- nm - Flavorize Jun 26, 04:12
- do you want to? what's the attraction? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 21:35 1
  - He just wants to be under the sea. - Mop🧹 Jun 25, 22:02
