The Day's Dumpster Fire
In this podcast, Kara and Ed regale history's greatest mess ups. They do not celebrate humanity's successes but its most fantastic failures! This show is not dedicated to those who have accomplished incredible things, but to those who have accomplished incredible things and how they royally screwed things up in the process.
You might ask why they are doing this podcast: it's because you've botched up the best laid plans and you know what? THAT'S OKAY!
Let this show help you navigate the mishaps that you have come across where there is no clear answer available.
So sit back, relax, and listen about people who messed up way more than what you could of possibly imagine.
The Day's Dumpster Fire
The Byford Dolphin Incident Fire - Episode 46
In this episode, Ed takes you into the world of saturation diving where you'll learn how the human body can adapt to absorb extreme conditions only found at the bottom of the ocean.
When we go swimming at the pool, we take it for granted that the depths that some members of society live and breathe in especially when it comes to a lovely concoction called Heliox.
When you spend weeks under water your body absorbs inert gases like nitrogen and even helium, but when you come to the surface, that gas has to go somewhere. In most cases it's out through your lungs but if you come up too fast, those gases escape through any means possible like through boiling blood and even explosion.
This is called explosive decompression.
In this episode, Ed will explore what explosive decompression looks like and what can happen if you're standing too close to the hatch when when you're environment changes from 10 atmospheres of pressure down to one in a fraction of a second.
