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.
"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
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.
It originally was an SSD drive
Not surprising, the card was filled with... UNCOMPRESSIBLE DATA!
"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.
EDIT : for those not seeing it, yeah, the article actually mentions that price and has a direct link to Amazon.
That sticker "pressure tested" on the camera housing is not lying
There's probably an expensive helium mechanical drive somewhere down there that suddenly found itself to be considerably smaller than it started out.
They should have built the hull out of SanDisk cards.
Spoiler: Nothing about the big boom or that trip was on it (as designed, lol), but it's cool that it survived.
Gotta love that SD technology. Now if only we could build a sub with it.
I would never have gone in a submarine called the Tragic anything.
Damn, that’s promotional material that SanDisk would probably not want to have.
Scott Manley has a one hour video going over all of this, including the ridiculous redaction of James Cameron providing expert testimony by first saying he directed The Abyss
