It is the opposite of explosion. In an explosion, an source on the inside of a structure (usually an ignition) drives everything catastrophically out. In an implosion, a pressure source on the outside of a structure (here, water pressure) drives everything catastrophically in.

The end result of both, to the human body, is pulverization.

This is why having a vessel that could withstand water pressure of this intensity was such a high priority, and why having failed to assure that was such a glaring mistake. Almost suicidally in error.

Homicidally in error.

If the CEO had lived I would definitely have expected charges in this vein, and it would not shock me if there is civil litigation against other Oceangate execs along those lines.

What jurisdiction can they be made in? any lawyers here know?

No jurisdiction

DP. I would think that there’d be jurisdiction somewhere based on where the advertisements could reach, where the contract was signed, etc. I wonder if there are going to be fraudulent misrepresentations coming out. Sounds like maybe there was some exaggerating in those online videos re: the involvement of Boeing, NASA, etc.

I’m also curious what all is in the waiver although that isn’t going to be ironclad.

I have no idea, but I read that Oceangate was saavy in that they purposely operated from this free space if you will, to avoid jurisdiction.

The Coast Guard official said they searched till they found actual conclusive evidence of the implosion, which was the broken pieces of the Titan. He said the report the Navy got helped them narrow the search field.

Every one on that sub was super wealthy with the possible exception of the 77 year old French pilot. I don’t know what his background and wealth level is.

Which doesn’t mean they don’t deserve or couldn’t get the money, but it might make the families less inclined to deal with suing.

yes, we should because it's the right thing to do. willing to bet if that was your family, you might see things differently

Why doesn't England pay for it? They are not even Americans they are coming to America for a "better life", They are coming legally, but still....not even Americans yet and using our tax dollars.

Isn’t Stockton Rush American?

Hmm you’d be surprised. That hasn’t been my experience in litigation. Often the wealthier a party is the more inclined it is to sue bc it can have Cravath or some top UK or Canada firm run a litigation on its behalf for years and just pay the monthly firm bill. Families like these thing in generations - sure for the Dawoods, 3-4 generations of their family are set (I have no idea) but if they feel Oceangate/Oceangate’s eventual bankruptcy estate should pay up - eventually 6-8 generations of their fam could be set.

Because this is pure spectacle. That’s why we are all gawking at this hard-to -fathom unnecessary disaster.

From the Nintendo switch looking steering wheel to all the rest of it. I feel nothing for these people, except for the teen, especially if he didn’t want to go and did so as a Father’s Day gift to his idiot dad.

Seems to me the “adults” were in denial and imagined themselves visiting the titanic on a Disney themed ride that was 10000 Leagues Under the Sea fantastical in nature.

On the contrary--the litigation may be the only thing that causes some future idiot to think twice about doing this.

Do they know what day the implosion occurred? Do they think the people suffered?

So sad.

I doubt they did. It's possible they heard some creaking sounds as the vessel gave up.

And how do you know this to be true?

How so? If someone willingly signs a waiver and is aware that death is a real possibility, how would litigation stop them? Why would an idiot even care?

I am pretty sure they knew they were likely going to die soon because the French explorer on board was very knowledgeable and once they started descending too fast, they must have been aware they had a problem. I watched a video of him discussing getting stuck so deep in the ocean and how death from hypothermia is sort of gentle because you slowly fall asleep and don’t suffer. So he knew the possibilities and the risk.

The death itself was instant, but the minutes or hour leading to it must have been agony. Though I hope he/they did not share the knowledge out loud out of respect for the teenager. I know I wouldn’t have said anything, and anyway hope always dies last and I bet at least some of them were hoping for a miracle.

I am shocked the French expert even boarded that shoddy thing given his experience in much more state-of-the-art prior missions. I guess he was just a Titanic junkie and couldn’t resist one more dive especially given his advanced age. I feel mostly sorry for the loss of his life and that of the teenager.
