Not surprising, the card was filled with... UNCOMPRESSIBLE DATA!
What do you mean "tragic"?
Define "tragic"
They should have built the hull out of SanDisk cards.
I'd go for a mix of 50% sd cards and 50% controllers. Maybe 40/60, science is not decided yet.
Spoiler: Nothing about the big boom or that trip was on it (as designed, lol), but it's cool that it survived.
That even a depth rated camera is broken can easily explained with the point that the implosion produced shock waves with pressure spikes easily exceeding the official ratings of the camera.
Damn, that’s promotional material that SanDisk would probably not want to have.
Nah, more like great promo material for the camera that survived the whole mess mostly intact.
Too bad they dropped the ball by not having the decryption keys for the actual video on the card.
New form of key compression unlocked!
Why? It wasn't there submersible, their product wasn't responsible for its destruction and frankly there is very little in the way of public sympathy.
The product is not even rated as waterproof and yet it's survived months at the bottom of the ocean after having survived a destructive implosion.
That's hella marketing.
The marketing is more for the submersible camera that survived, just like it was designed to do, the SD card was just inside the camera and no water even touched it. I don't think the SD card should be getting any credit.
Yeah I know but marketing is marketing. It doesn't really have to make any sense.
If the Xbox controller had survived I'm sure Microsoft would have made big of that even though it's basically irrelevant to the product.
They didn't even use an Xbox controller, they cheaped out and used an ancient Logitech clone
Why not? If anything, it shows how durable their product is. If it were my company, I would market the shit out of this.
sd is so sturdy it can withstand pressures of depts at 12000ft.
Tragic?
Try "predictable"
Please watch the Netflix documentary if you havent.
The sub was never meant for that depth and they knew it.
They could literally hear the carbon fibers snapping every dive.
They had to retire an entire chassis because it failed at similar depths.
Nahh, the tragedy is rich people think they are better than physics itself.
I think it’s more like what are the chances it fails while we’re in it? Fuck it.
The main issue with the Titan wasn't as much the depth as it was cyclic loading
No, it was entirely the depth. They tested it in the lab and saw many failures but never changed the design.
The tragedy is that more of these rich people don't test that belief against reality.
At least two billionaires keep firing rockets into space as a hobby. It's only a matter of time.
Trying to do extreme engineering on the cheap.
it was DIY from start o finish on the craft. as opposed to spending 5-10mil on a spherical TITATANIUM sub. instead he used carbon fiber which was defective airplane parts.
How many atmospheres can this ship withstand?
Well it's a ~~spaceship~~ airplane, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one."
This was a reverse tragedy.
There was a tragedy. One billionaire forcing their child to die
