“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.
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.

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.
Still a super rich kid who got everything he ever wanted, except for this instance.
TIL it’s okay for kids to die if they’re privileged.
Be better
There was also a famous ocean explorer on board they were using as a prop for their company. He’d done great work exploring shipwrecks previously and not a billionaire
I think maybe the point about the Kid is being missed.
Yeah super rich. Yeah didn’t want to be there.
But to change things you need people with resources on your side. The young are significantly easier to do this with.
If we demonstrate that we have empathy for all of the vulnerable (as we should) those young ones can see the power of empathy.
It originally was an SSD drive
These compression methods are getting out of hand
That sticker “pressure tested” on the camera housing is not lying
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.
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
RIP. Tragic.
So tragic to see someone speak from beyond the grave…
I did not expect that
Tragic?
Yeah we should build a bigger submarine that fits more billionaires. But no kids this time.
There were kids in it…? Christ :(
No, the “kid” was 19
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.
There were no women on the submersible.
Over 18, but still young enough to not be predestined to become like the other billionaires I guess.
and he didn’t want to go, or I’m mixing things?
Yeah. One of the rich guys brought his son. Reported as “university aged” but still.
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.
Quote from his mother on giving up her seat to her son - BBC News:
“Then I stepped back and gave them space to set [Suleman] up, because he really wanted to go,” she said.
There’s probably an expensive helium mechanical drive somewhere down there that suddenly found itself to be considerably smaller than it started out.
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.

The article doesn’t make it clear (it could be better written) but my guess is that the card was actually found intact in the wreckage that they recovered back when the sub went down.
The various documentaries by Netflix, Nat Geo, etc. only came out a few months ago as the USCG investigation wrapped up. Those revealed new details, like that they had recovered personal belongings from the pockets of one or two of the victims. I don’t think those details were publicly known (or at least reported on) until the documentaries came out. This is likely just a similar case of more evidence coming to light.
Time to order a few SanDisk cards
And build a submarine of them.
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
Yeah, the choice of name was one of several bad decisions.
