Are you asking the psychic this? Miss Cleo? How would any of us on this board possibly know this? Hold up, let me call my medium and I’ll report back. |

There is some speculation that they might have heard cracking sounds in the hull as that had happened before on Titan - but probably only Rush would’ve known it was louder or worse than usual. As to the actual breach of the hull at depth - multiple sources have asserted that the speed at which a hull breach at that depth causes implosion/explosion of the human body is much faster than the speed at which the human consciousness could register such an event. Truly, they died INSTANTANEOUSLY. |

If the investigators can determine the cause of failure, that might answer the question. It sounds like most experts think it was the carbon fiber composite hull, but they say it could also have been the seam between the hull and the titanium end caps or between the plexiglass window and the end cap. If it was the window that failed, unless there were strain gauges on that window, they wouldn’t have had warning. If it was the hull delaminating, they could have heard louder than normal cracking as was heard on a prior version of this sub. But it also could have failed without any warning at all. There was a hull monitoring system, but the failure would have likely happened almost instantly after any alarms. If it was the seam between the hull and the titanium end caps, unless there were strain gauges in that location, it would have been instantaneous. Knowing whether the sub was ascending or descending at the time or implosion though recovered instruments /gauges would say a lot. At the time that communications cut out, they wouldn’t have been at titanic depth yet. If they had heard loud cracking or hull alarms, they might have tried to ascend. If they were still descending, it is less likely that they knew anything was awry. They couldn’t control much from inside that sub, but apparently they could drop ballast. The navy heard the implosion, so they can figure out about how deep it was when it imploded. I’d like to think it happened without any warning. It seems like the most likely scenario. |

James Cameron said he heard that were ascending when it imploded so they were aware of a problem and aborting the dive. |

I heard this too. |

How could there be a transcript? The was no black box. |

The transcript of the last communications with the boat on the surface. They were able to send messages to the boat. Supposedly in that they said they were trying to come up, but they weren’t rising as fast as they expected. Again it was going around online so it might not be real. |

Titan submersibles released an official suspension of operations today, no further comment.
Let the lawsuits commence. |

OceanGate, that is. |
