"Somewhat disappointingly, the images and videos shared in the report were taken in the vicinity of the ROV shop at the Marine Institute"

There, saved you a long read

"and you can buy that exact SD card model for the low, low price of $62.99 on Amazon RIGHT. NOW!!!"

That might not be the weirdest, most awkward product placement I ever saw, but close.

It originally was an SSD drive

These compression methods are getting out of hand

Tragic? What was tragic about it? It were just some insanely rich doing something insanely stupid: dive in an untested home made tube built from rejected discarded build materials to dive to insane depths to disrupt a protected monument of something which killed thousands.

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 49 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The kid that was killed didn’t want to be there. He was terrified. He only went because rich daddy insisted & paid for him to come along. That’s tragic.

I recommend this great video from Scott Manley on the NTSB report :

He also has a previous video that is more speculative before the report but very interesting anyway.

That sticker "pressure tested" on the camera housing is not lying

[–] Skysurfer@slrpnk.net 66 points 6 hours ago

Unfortunately it only had older still photos and videos, nothing from the last dive. Looks like they had the camera configured to send the data to the onboard computers and those were smashed into a soild mass, of which, no data was able to be recovered from.

Scientists were already able to recover footage of their final moments on the SD card

So tragic to see someone speak from beyond the grave...

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

I did not expect that

Yeah we should build a bigger submarine that fits more billionaires. But no kids this time.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (4 children)

There were kids in it...? Christ :(

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Over 18, but he was the only one that doesn't want to be there. He was scared but didn't want to disappoint his father. That poor kid and his mother. Can't imagine how she must feel. This is why being a good parent takes more than resources. I would never want a relationship with my kids where they felt pressured into doing something just to make me happy. I'd hope I'd make different decisions as a father if I was in that situation. My son openly tells me about his hesitant feelings towards an objectively dangerous trip, I'm not making him go at the very least. And I'm probably not going myself because me and my son can do something else together.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 hours ago

One was a kid, one was a person who spent a chunk of her life saving for a ticket.

Most of them were just regular people.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 15 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Over 18, but still young enough to not be predestined to become like the other billionaires I guess.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 hours ago

and he didn't want to go, or I'm mixing things?

[–] _chris@lemmy.world 16 points 5 hours ago

Yeah. One of the rich guys brought his son. Reported as “university aged” but still.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 26 points 6 hours ago

There's probably an expensive helium mechanical drive somewhere down there that suddenly found itself to be considerably smaller than it started out.

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Why TF are resources being wasted on digging it up??

Idiocy.

There are REAL needs, in this world, & throwing MORE resources after that narcissist-machiavellian's coffin isn't justifiable.

Time to order a few SanDisk cards

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

And build a submarine of them.

[–] Noja@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

Don't buy SanDisk, they are garbage. I already have 3 SanDisk SSDs that failed and I only had 3 in total. One was a WD branded one I got after my SanDisk failed. Turns out that WD bought SanDisk and I unkowingly bought that garbage again.

I read titanic and was a little bit confused

[–] prex@aussie.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, the choice of name was one of several bad decisions.
