Once again, safety procedures and SOP's are written in blood. The worst part about a lot of these accidents and unfortunately deaths is that in many cases, the safety equipment is nonfunctional, has been removed, or no one is really trained on its use. Usually, more so, the first two happening. Case in point with this story. The transponder and strobe light were removed. Two important safety devices were knowingly removed for whatever reason. Without the safety devices installed or functional, that bell should have been listed as unserviceable/out of service until the safety faults were corrected. Or any other deficiency for that matter.

[@poutinedream5066]

I don't know what that is. When I was having my daughter àn alarm kept going off with every contraction so the nurse disabled the machine. Hours later the obstetrician arrived and was stunned to discover in the middle of delivery that the umbilical cord was tightly wound around my daughters neck. The monitor had been doing precisely what it was there to do, and the nurse's response was to cut it off. I just can't relate to people who do this stuff. I trusted that nurse and I'm sure these guys trusted the people whose job it was to keep them safe.

The whole point of safety equipment is that hopefully you WON'T need it... BUT that in the circumstances you do, it'll be there, doing its job, so you have it. I don't care if we're talking about some alarm system, or the locator beacon on a piece of personnel carrying equipment, or the handgun I keep on my bike for riding through the wild places... It's just better to have it and NOT need it than to need it and not have it... I fail utterly to understand how anyone thinks it's a good idea to remove safety kit...

When a Safety stop at work didn't function when I took my shift I refused to work, my direct supervisor threatened my job, then the manager came over and did the same, I stood my ground for MY safety, they removed me from my position and found someone else to take my position, not informing him of the danger. You cannot rely on anyone but yourself for safety.. I wouldn't have stepped foot into that bell unless they had the beacons and flash systems operating, and I had visually confirmed them working, and I'm like that because of my father, who told me a story of a horrible accident that he witnessed at a Chevron Refinery some companies get so large they can easily absorb wrongful death lawsuits and never fix the issues that caused them.

I worked for a company that built off shore oil rigs and they were getting ready to weld leg extensions on it. They had a 500 ton crane on top of the rig but the crane operator told them that the brake drum was either cracked or egg shaped. They had been using it for light lifts like 10,000 lbs but the leg extensions weighed 250 tons. He said that they would have to fix the crane before he made the lift or somebody would get hurt. Management told him to either make the lift or he's fired. He walked. He said he's not having the death's of the welders on his conscience. So, the company hired another crane operator. I don't know how much he knew about the brake but they started up with the extension and everything was going fine. Then when the crane operator tried to lower it down it went into a free fall and fell right where the 3 welders were tied off. One of them was severely injured and had to have facial reconstruction, the other 2 were killed. The fired crane operator agreed to testify in court that management knew about the cranes brake. They had them by the short and curlys. They not only proved negligence but also GROSS negligence which insurance doesn't cover. Gross negligence comes out of the owners pockets. They wound up going bankrupt and sold the company. Two people were killed and 1 severely injured in an accident that was 100% avoidable. But, greed does that to you.

So **so** much is just out of your control from operations to circumstances. The trust and the stones on those guys is something else

@@wasdwazd was it the divers tho? That's what I mean, those support teams are so large and responsibilities are so convoluted, the divers have to count on not just the circumstances treating them right, but a large team prone to human error and "it'll be fiiiiiine"

[@blakestone1432]

It’s in your control to refuse to go down in the bell after the safety equipment has been removed. I’m not even a saturation diver and I know it’s important to have the strobe and transponder in case you get lost. Probably need some form of spare batteries for both of them. Maybe even spare units as well. Any industrial safety accident I have ever seen has been avoidable to some extent by taking extra precautions. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blameless freak accident.

This is a sad and tragic story, very well told. A couple of points - the diving contractor on the Star Canopus was not Comex but Northern Divers (which was renamed Star Offshore Services). Also, at the time the Uncle John was a Diving Support Vessel, I know as I was a sat diver for 6 years working for Comex on that ship, I joined it not long after the Canopus accident. The Uncle John was much later converted to a drill platform when it moved from the North Sea to the Gulf (or somewhere else, I can't remember).

[@nekomasteryoutube3232]

It really is quite sad when accidents happen like this, where your stuck in a situation with no (easy) way out. I wonder if theres anything they could do to modify the design of diving bells to make sure that they at least have some stand off space under them if they end up on the sea floor (if that isn't already a thing today)

[@rs232killer]

I saw a diving bell a few years ago that had a platform underneath the bell. It seemed to be rigid, and designed so that the divers would have something to land on when dropping out of the trunk. I would guess that would have kept the bottom of the trunk clear of the ocean floor. It also appeared to have a large concrete weight attached to the lower platform, which at the time I thought was just buoyancy compensation, to ensure the bell sinks on the end of the cable. But it is possible that it could also help the bell stay platform side down if it hit the bottom. I was surprised that the system used in this story didn't have a way to detach the weight from inside the bell. Detaching from the outside seems quite scary. You would need to get back inside and seal the trunk before the bell rose very much to avoid decompression.

The bell, and consequently the divers, can be dragged around by their umbilicals resulting in damage either from overstress or contact with other undersea items. In fact that's exactly what happened when they were unable to recover the bell in time and its cables were severed by the anchor chain for the adjacent semi-submersible.

That treasure belongs to the descendants of native Americans. The Spanish killed or enslaved the men, raped the women and boys, and stole everything they got their hands on. It’s estimated that the Spanish killed more that 100M people in the first 50 years of the Spanish Occupation. My great grandmother detested the Spanish and loved the Americans who put an end to brutal de facto slavery and abuse and built road and hospitals. To my great grandmother, the Americans were saviors. Puerto Ricans remain loyal Americans to this day. The “discovery” of America was a catastrophe for the indigenous populations. We Tainos didn’t need to be discovered since we’ve always known where we were. Lastly, besides murder, the native population, gifted by provenance with an island paradise were killed by germ warfare as the filthy, unwashed Europeans brought every disease of filth to the New World. The best thing we ever got from Europeans was Dvorak’s New World Symphony. The numbers I cite above are estimates by historians and must be taken as educated guesses.

The mud was too light to begin with as they were worried about the formation being to fragile. This is also what happened to the cement Haliburtan concocted for supposedly seal the well. This didn’t work and because it was left unattended the plug failed and damaged the BOP due to the pressure of the gas b cause the mud was extremely lite and hitch provided no help. Once the B.O.P.. was damaged the diesel engines were running away and could have been shut down if the safety systems we’re working.

[@kinuorthel8096]

I think the supported underframe for the diving bell?

10:29 maybe? not really sure either

[@Thomas_____]

No strobe flash, and the crew removed the transponder from the bell to track it. He did explain it.

@@Thomas_____ should be illegal to remove the transponder and a strobe WITH a backup strobe should be mandatory especially with how dark it would be at those depths. bet those companies lobbied against such laws being put in place or the fines are just too small

[@frogmanant]

Being able to drop the clump weight from inside the bell.
