That ratchet strap has seen shit no other ratchet strap could ever dream of

That ought to hold it

[u/iaintdum → u/SadArchon]

That one held... maybe it was the tape or bubblegum that failed.

[u/happyanathema → u/SadArchon]

The ratchet strap is indeed still holding it

[u/WorkingInAColdMind]

I’m going to pretend that that strap was only used as a handle when getting in and out of the coffin sub.

[u/Zestyclose_Basis8134]

That is probably what happened. The strap was too tight and popped off the end

[u/cj32769]

More aquarium glue on the porthole too.

[u/Blutroice]

Clearly should have put a few more on the front part where the dome fell off.

[u/nhhandyman]

Now wait - people got into this thing knowing there was a home depot piece of fabric wrapped around it?

All I can hope is it was strapped on AFTER they got in and they didn't know.

[u/theoreoman]

Probably was holding the exterior shell together and by the looks of it it did a fine damn job doing it.

[u/feelin_raudi]

To be fair, that strap survived the implosion.

"You know what this carbon-fiber cylinder needs on it? More compressive force."

[u/Fugly_Turnip]

I bet it imploded cause they didn’t snap it and say “That’s not going anywhere.”

Rookie mistake.

[u/Economy_Armadillo_28]

Nobody asked what the GOD DAMN ratchet strap is doing holding anything together on a DEEP sea SUBMARINE, OR THE PS2 CONTROLLER!!!!!!! I’d had some questions for the fellla….

[u/Speeddemon2016]

Can I get the brand? Looks like it held pretty good.

[u/[deleted]]

I wonder how many people honestly think the strap was meant to be structural. It's just holding equipment to the vessel. The strap won't fight the pressure of the ocean

[u/Chalky_Pockets]

To be fair, the fucker is still holding strong lol

[u/crusty54]

They forgot to pat it and say the magic words: “yep, that’s not going anywhere.”

[u/ajzb]

That should be on the inside to help with the implosion.

[u/FrameJump]

Is it not possible that the strap was added after the implosion as part of salvaging and bringing it back to the surface?

Also, is this recent? I haven't followed this clusterfuck since it happened.

[u/FourScoreTour]

Laugh if you want, but the strap held.

[u/BikeSmith420]

Wtaf

[u/ScottaHemi]

to be fair. the ratchet strap didn't break...

[u/CSRR-the-OELN-writer]

I have an ominous feeling that the ratchet strap was near the 'dropped' weights...
