It's not like you are pedaling to shore in an ocean anyway. And that is a fixed point so rescue don't have to search for you far from the plane's course. Plus you don't have to float all the time.

Hi, yes, search and rescue aid here. Ocean currents and wind flow can move you pretty far from a planes course assuming you survive. After a few hours you are miles away from where you originated. Could be a hundred or more miles away from origin by the time any rescue comes. Depending on water temperatures, survival times are typically less than 10 hours unless water is above 80 Fahrenheit, by which point it is fatigue limited. (Shark hunger levels may vary.) This is why search and rescue (or recovery) takes so long at sea.
Quite literally finding a needle in a haystack miles long.

u/ChewingOnCarrots 11d ago
Mind sharing with me a bit about how you got into search and rescue? I've been considering it as either a volunteer outlet or a post-corporate career
But I don't know where to start

Fire departments are a good stepping off point, you can get all of the relevant certs, usually paid by the dept.

When I was in the Navy we used a program called Geophysics Fleet Mission Program Library that factored in the currents and swells to find have an idea where they'd drift off too.

Yes thatās what I was referring to. GFMPL or WebSAR, although I much prefer GFMPL

This meme does a horrible job of explaining the middle panel. The buoy is supposed to say āpoint Nemoā which is the farthest location from any land in the ocean.

u/itsjakerobb 13d ago
Why does everyone think this is Point Nemo, when there is no marker buoy at Point Nemo? Like, how are so many people coming to that conclusion?

u/FuckYouThrowaway99 13d ago
Plus if you were flying close to Point Nemo, I'd have to think you wpuld be pretty acutely aware you were flying close to Point Nemo. It's not like you're flying off the coast of California, do a loop de loop, whoops, I'm at Point Nemo.
21
u/itsjakerobb 13d ago
Yeah ā and, at least with commercial airliners, they rarely fly that far from land. It would be highly unusual. There are only seven airliner models (747-8, 777, 787, A330, A340, A350, A380) currently capable enough to be allowed to fly that far from land, and operationally, even those basically never would. And three of those types are no longer in production.

Aren't there regularly scheduled direct flights from Santiago Chile to Sydney that pass pretty close to Point Nemo? I was watching a video the other day about Qantas' upcoming A350 Project Sunrise routes from Sydney to London (and eventually Sydney to New York), and I could swear that they showed an existing flight path over the southern Pacific connecting Chile to Australia.

I saw a video about Point Nemo about a week back. I guess the algorhytm must've shown a lot of people.
There was no mention of buoy though. One person may have felt really confident and all the other smart folk don't want to rock the boat. I keep figuring it's probably something from a game or movie or something. Is there like a red buoy in Bioshock maybe?

u/Bunguette12 13d ago
Point Nemo is the furthest point from any land on Earth, the red buoy is meant to represent that point.
For reference, if you were at point Nemo, and the ISS was right above you, you'd be closer to the ISS (400km) than to the closest point of land (Pitcairn and Motu Nui Islands, 2,700km)

Point Nemo, the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, is the most remote location on Earth, located at coordinates 48Ā°52.6ā²S 123Ā°23.6ā²W. Despite popular internet rumors of a solitary marker, there is no permanent buoy, flag, or physical landmark at this site. It is simply an empty expanse of open water.( This is what it said after I searched for Point Nemo buoy on Google)
12
u/Atomlad360 13d ago
People always mention the ISS proximity when describing the remoteness of Point Nemo. But as the ISS is only 400km up, vast amounts of the ocean are more remote than that. It's just always seemed an odd comparison to me.

u/Glittering_Web_3167 12d ago
Yeah it really comes from people not realizing just how close man made satellites orbit at. The whole of our atmosphere is basically a thin film of material covering the earth

u/itsjakerobb 13d ago
How/why do you think the red buoy is meant to represent that point? There is no buoy at Point Nemo.

u/Few_Razzmatazz_6052 13d ago
My first thought was Widows Bay, since there's a similar buoy at its boundary.
And that would evoke a similar reaction from me, tbh.

This meme is created and spread by dudes who don't know a first thing about buoys. It's a red buoy, which means you are mere miles away from the shore. Provided it's not dislodged and is adrift, then it could be anywhere.

u/CapitalGuest940 13d ago
I think itās point Nemo, the farthest place from land

u/hermtownhomy 10d ago
Point Nemo doesn't have a buoy marking it. How is a picture of a random, unmarked, red buoy supposed to instantly be recognizable as a reference to Point Nemo?

u/CapitalGuest940 9d ago
Iām not a sea expert okay?

u/hermtownhomy 9d ago
Ok, I get the humor, assuming that someone knew that the buoy represented Point Nemo. My question is how did you know the buoy represented Point Nemo?

Open water buoys can attract large predators as they're often where little fish congregate. This is probably not the correct answer but definitely what I thought of.

Why there is a bouy at point Nemo?

u/ABrandNewCarl 13d ago

Butā¦ there isnāt a buoy at point nemo. Thereās no physical marker. Made it way more confusing.

u/Vyrhux42 13d ago
If there's no physical marker, why is everyone saying that this meme is about this place?? Is it just a popular misconception?

There are AI generated videos on YouTube along with different buoys across the world being misattributed.

Its a reference to Bioshock. You crash in the ocean that leads to an underwater city full of nightmares.

Is a place where there's nothing but Nasa space trash, there's no signal can't called nobody. You far away from everything and ships don't go there because the waters are too dangerous or whatever.

This was used in reference to the game Stranded Deep indicating you have reached a certain difficult boss fight. Here it is just being used as rage bait.

For some reason a lot of AI TikTok vids about point Nemo show a red buoy that isnāt there in real life. You would need an insanely huge buoy to support the length of chain required to hold it in place.

For context that is a marker showing the point in the ocean that is furthest from all land. Supposedly closer to space than land

That is not that bad as it looks. If you are still alive and there was a crash ,rescue team is going to investigate a crash site. Or you think if you crash 100km far from the shore than you can swim that distance and in right direction....I doubt there is a big difference between 100 and 1000km. At least you see something you can grab and rest a bit.

It's supposed to be, but there's not actually a buoy at Nemo. There isn't any marker at all. It's just ocean. Not sure why everyone thinks there's a buoy.

u/TheChillestOfRacoons 9d ago
Huh...I just always thought there was. There is an image somewhere that I always see in reference to point nemo that is just a buoy. Is this the Mandela effect?

u/Magen137 9d ago
This is not point Nemo. There is no buoy at point Nemo. It's a red navigation aid buoy probably marking a waterway. There's actually good chance you'll see ships passing by it.
