PP here. It honestly is beyond my comprehension to do something that dangerous. |

OceanGate got a $450,000 loan cancelled thru PPP for this nonsense:

The ocean is a noisy place. The same thing happened during the search for uss thresher, a naval sub - people heard noises and really wanted it to be from survivors. |

"Five men on missing Titanic sub confirmed dead after debris reveals ‘catastrophic implosion’
OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet ‘have sadly been lost’" https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/submarine-deaths-missing-titanic-oceangate-b2362578.html |
And what is the problem with that? Seriously? |

I apologize. I had no idea it was already posted. Thank you for letting me know. |
Hopefully they can figure out the timeline. But they said the debris was in calm water above a flat seabed, so they probably think it imploded well above the titanic due to a fault in the carbon fiber composite hull. They can look at all the other material in the debris field and examine them for deformation, which can help them figure out the approximate depth at which implosion occurred. There are banging noises all the time in the ocean, bouncing off layers of water etc. It was the very definition of confirmation for us to think that it was from the lost sub. |
Ugh, if true, that is so tragic. His dad was a jerk if he pressured his 19 year old into doing this. |
It happened in less than a hundredth of a second. Probably took 20-30 milliseconds at most. |

It’s heartbreaking to read that the 19 year old was terrified and told other family members he didn’t really want to go - but he went for at his dad’s insistence.
As a 19 year old I also destroyed my life at the direction of a parent, so I am acutely sensitive to how powerless a child that age can be in the face of a domineering parent. At least I’m still alive even if my life has been one of pain and regrets. This poor kid was robbed by his own father’s obsession. Wait I guess that’s actually a pretty common theme in human existence. |
We told you. Dozens of pages of “there’s hope!” “But KNOCKING!” |
Would something like this cause a disturbance at the surface, or was it just too deep? |
When daddy’s where he is because of his own foolhardy, recreational choices. |
