I'm guessing if submersion tanks become a thing for electric car fires, then dedicated trucks with tank and lift arm like that will have to also become a responding vehicle.

| Barack Obama questions why Titan submarine tragedy that killed five got MORE coverage than boat with 700 migrants sinking off the coast of Greece Video The overcrowded boat with hundreds of Pakistani, Syrian, Egyptian and Palestinian refugees went down on June 14 - two days before the $250,000-a-head OceanGate tour to the Titanic wreckage went missing. It is pictured before capsizing More |

glad they cleared that up for me.
but the answer is 5 billionaires going missing doing something stupid makes better water cooler talk than (at least) 82 of the worlds most desparate, poorest of the poor drowning around a sinking boat.
I've got two different failure scenarios pictured in my head.
1. Hull failure - whole vessel implodes instantly like a tin can
2. viewport failure - water rushes in and fills the vessel instantaneously, hits the back wall with inertia sufficient to spike the pressure even above the surrounding ocean, hydraulically exploding the vessel from inside, a la the beer bottle trick.

Conjecture seems to be leaning to the viewport due to it now being revealed that it was only certified to 1300 meters.
No one will know any time soon though.
The manufacturer of the Titan’s forward viewport would only certify it to a depth of 1,300 meters due to OceanGate’s experimental design. The filing states that OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the Titan’s intended depth of 4,000 meters.

You can potentially rule out #2 if window was still intact or blown out from the inside.
I'm leaning towards #1 but it could be a caused by a loss of integrity in the carbon fiber tube or it could be as simple as the bond failure where the tube meets the titanium. I think it's less likely they'll be able to determine which happened.
OP
It depends on what factor of safety they design into the window to get that rating.

wonder how long it'll be before Hollywood makes a feature film dramatization?
I hope James Cameron makes it, but he probably won't.

It spikes them and you inject water through the spike to stop the exothermic reaction
My understanding was the doors get a seal and you cram it in from the side. No way our dept is buying some bs like that though
That's what happens here also , set up 1500gal. bladder and have tenders shuttle water to it. Unfortunately this is tragically slow and the fire typically has the upper hand. The bummer is this is the best case scenario for structure fires in the Rockies .
That's still common practice on wild land fires. The portable tanks are called pumpkins. They range from 250 gallon to 2500 gallon.
Same here. Thankfully helicopters and aircraft are available to make drops usually
