[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well at least they didn’t suffer. [/quote]

I hope they didn't suffer. Just because we found pieces does not mean death was qyick or easy.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure implosion means it was quick.[/quote]

It happened in less than a hundredth of a second. Probably took 20-30 milliseconds at most. [/quote]

Would something like this cause a disturbance at the surface, or was it just too deep?[/quote]

If the titan imploded when it lost communications at 1h 45min into the dive, it was already pretty deep because they said it would take 2h to descend to the titanic at 12.5k feet. If it imploded thousands of feet down, some of air inside the sub would have bubbled up, but it would have been dispersed into a billion little bubbles, some of which would be dissolved into the water. The debris would have floated up to the surface, but not all at once. It would have depended on how buoyant each piece was. There would not have been a typical kasploosh like you see in the movies.

The press conference said none of the sonar buoys deployed during the search heard an implosion, so it must have happened before they were dropped. And I don’t know if the mothership had sonar arrays or was listening. [/quote]
