Is it the black box though? I mean... The controls were a little-brother-tier knockoff logitech controller so maybe this SanDisk card contains all the "wtf happened."
I doubt that had a black box at all. It was probably the OS it booted on the Raspberry Pi that controlled everything 🤣😭
At the end of the article they seem to explain there was nothing of interest on the card. Unless I’m reading that wrong.
No that's correct. The camera was setup to dump data to an external device, so the onboard stuff was old.
And to be fair even if they had pictures or video it would probably be uninteresting. Implosion happens so fast there wouldn’t be anything to see. Just “fish, fish, fis-blackness”
So what you are saying is we need phantoms as sub security cameras, got it.
This week on the slomo guys, Gavin sends Dan to the bottom of the Marianas Trench to see what happens when a body is imploded
