How Submarines Survive at 36,201 Feet Below 

I am deeply concerned for Amy's safety. Not because of the legally and physically perilous stories she covers, that's just journalism. But her lack of appearances in the last few videos is truly worrying. I demand proof of life in the next video

​@@Spencergoldeas am I. We need answers!

​@@Spencergoldeshe appeared in a JetLag video

If Amy doesn't go there, I don't really believe anything. Especially if Sam tells me.

@johnladuke6475 if Amy isn't in a video I'm not even a quarter as interested.

Step 2: Don't control your sub with an F17 controller

Step 3: don't put in a window

Or any carbon fiber really

@@mateusebozek-cj2em Ppl keep shitting on the controller, but it's really not an issue - even the US Navy does it. 1) A lot of ppl have used it at some point in their lives, so ppl can learn to use it quicker 2) the manufacturer has tested it thoroughly (which you have to do yourself for a new design). The wireless aspect was probably not wise, but who knows.

Carbon fiber expires?

How else would he get the best real-world immersive experience of Subnautica?

How did this submarine manage to do its 3rd dive while being Gabe owned is beyond me, I thought he didnt know how to count to 3.

The only place where steam servers won't overheat during the summer sale

GABENNNNN!!!

Clearly this means Valve is going to make a submarine based game in a million years after putting Gabe into a computer.

what a wild and novel idea!

Imagine hiring a bunch of old white dudes to design your submarine, instead of a bunch of incompetent diversity hires.

Imagine building it out of a material that's strong in compression

imagine spare no expenses to make sure it is safe lol

That sounds like something boring white men do. What would inspirational people do instead?

They do... if they are built PROPERLY

Remember the Titan

Aw man

@@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8that was a submersible, not a submarine.

*Titan*

Makes sense if you want the video to still be relevant in a couple years when everyone's forgotten about that thing

@@ButzPunk However, nothing says HIA more than outdated pop culture references.

There was a lot of pressure. But the integrity of the video was not compromised.

There was definitely a Titan joke in there. It was just slightly subtle,

@@theProntohe definitely didn’t collapse under the pressure

You only need a parachute to skydive twice

You'll need a lot of basic weights and a bit of luck.

"that ensure nothing, um, bad happens" at 5:04 was that reference

I really expected him to say that the joystick was not made by logitech when he mentioned it

Annnnnnnd.......there it is.

It just occurred to me... it was named Titan. Not that I'm superstitious but that was just the cherry on top of a cake of bad ideas

​@danielvillalobos4265 it was specifically for tourist expedions to the titanic so it was mainly a brand thing I think

That's why there's room for it under the seat

Substitute teachers, on the other hand, can survive in water, however they don't do well in very deep water.

at least they don't implode

I feel that Sam from Crime Spree and Sam from The Layover should join as well. They look like identical twins.

Also get Sam from Nebula!

Yes. I will definitely watch Sam from Wendover do a piece on the Logistics of globe spanning game show, and he should call Sam from HAI to do a banger trivia piece in collaboration.

Everyone always forgets Sam from Extremities

​@@torbenmayerthat's because he tragically died during the transition from podcast to youtube channel

I mean it's technically environmentally friendly when it drops on someone's house, human or deep see animal, so what me worry

oh that's sad, i was hoping they were dropping milk jugs full of depleted uranium pellets

So they could drop a magnet on a really long piece of string to bring them back up?

Probably scavenged the night after the dive by Chinese loincloth-clad illegal salvage operators.

@@JoolsBurke the smaller ones might actually be since they're not emergency ones, pull them back into the submarine after it "lands"

No, that would’ve required more funding.

Right? ​ I was shocked the LF was only 37 million. We could get 3½ of them for the price of one fighter jet. The DOD needs to sign-off on a purchase order, pronto.

"If only..." "If only" nothin. Nothing better than a handful of 1-percenters getting their comeuppance. They're the ones destroying the oceans and the planet, seems only fair that the ocean claims them.

careful design and testing is for commie snowflakes!

​@@juzoli, and followed regulations which sTIflEd InnOvaTiON.

That's kind of a stupid statement, you can't just look at a submarine and decide if it's funktional or not. You can look at the company's experience, at the testing procedures or all the tests done with the new material, but just rejecting something because it looks different is not helpful. That's like all the people hating on the game controller just because it is a game controller and not a custom build thing with exactly the same purpose and a similar design.

@@weppwebb2885 Don't know for sure, but I would imagine he was told all about the work that went into the Limiting Factor and should have realized such a feat requires so much careful work that it should have been top of mind to check on that before getting on the Titan. However, I would not be surprised if the Oceangate CEO straight-up lied and said they did all of the same designing and testing. The guy was clearly unsafe and had loose sense of morals and integrity.

@@weppwebb2885 Except some people *did* look at the submarine and the company and decided not to trust to trust their life with it, including on the last dive.

and a safe design in general

and plenty of money

That's obviously apocryphal because the US does not have a law that says the US flag cannot fly beneath another flag. Nor would it apply anyway in the middle of the ocean. That's asinine. The flag code says it should be flown above state, local, and non-governmental flags. For foreign flags, the flag code actually specifies it should NOT fly higher than them, and should in fact be the same size and at the same level. But again, it doesn't apply since the flag code explicitly only applies on American soil. Also the flag code is not even mandatory anyway, it's a non-binding guideline for custom.

@@Tinil0nope, they kill people over it

@@somethingsomething404 Please explain.

@@somethingsomething404 🧢

@@somethingsomething404They… don’t. Sure, maybe like in the 1800s or some sh*t but not anytime even remotely recently Maybe I’m wrong, and if so, please provide evidence

I mean, he wrote it, he should know. At least he admits it.

Mr. Cameron should've called the submarine "Untitanic"

@@piuthemagicmanOr maybe "Reversible-Titanic"

Fits the movie.

​@@piuthemagicmanHow about, "cinatiT" ?

Yeah, everyone knows a hot dog isn't a sandwich. It's obviously a taco.

I can't imagine how deep that is when planes fly at around 36000 feet in the air

bad bit

Parliament!

I see I'm sadly the first person to comment on this two weeks later sadly. Because that would be a great video idea! I find the half-hour timezones interesting. Like, why? Is 30 minutes really gonna make enough of a difference? They exist in Newfoundland, Canada and South Australia. Maybe it's a former British Colony thing.

They aren't eccentric rich guys though. Eccentric? Yes! Guys? Apparently, yes! Rich? No! At least not yet.

Rich guy with desire to explore.

Just like how children yearn for the mines, rich dudes yearn for the Deep. Gabe Newell also now owns the Limiting Factor

Ultimately, he's more than a movie director.

why not?

He's more of a deep ocean explorer who happens to make movies to be able to fund his explorations.

Why was this not bigger news, this is so much more interesting to me than elon buying twitter

He called people building subs like this "A bunch of old boring people"

i'm guessing the big box isn't actually a pressure vessel, only the ball in the middle is. The outside Box is probably just a semi-open framework to mount stuff on, like the boosters.

They're useful for exploring the Titanic and other sites at similar depths but completely useless in Challenger Deep, which is more than 11km beneath the surface.

N…No.
