    Same here. 13 year club on Reddit after Digg imploded due to similar mismanagement issues. Now I'm checking out tildes, lemmy, etc.

    I'm heavily involved with volunteering at a local community theater, and next year we're putting on a show titled The Play That Goes Wrong. For those unfamiliar with it, the premise is an amateur theater is putting on a murder mystery, but everything that can go wrong does. This includes (but is not limited to):

    • Doors being stuck so actors can't enter
    • A "dead" actor having his hand stepped on so he reacts
    • A door falling off its hinges when an actor tries to use it
    • Pictures, window curtains, etc. fall off the walls
    • An upper level platform partially collapses with actors on it.
    • As part of the finale the walls of the set all fall down

    We're going to have our work cut out for us building this set...

    If the Titan was found intact with survivors, their likely only chance would have been if another submersible or ROV could untangle the Titan or otherwise help it to drop/remove any ballast that would then let it float back up to the surface on its own. These things are designed to be buoyant and held down with weights.

    I read a post somewhere else stating that one submersible actually had bags full of salt strapped to it. The salt would slowly dissolve over a period of about 12 hours, after which the sub would be so buoyant that it would float back to the surface whether you wanted it to or not.
