[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw a CNN headline that said the Navy had indications it imploded on Sunday. Seems like they perished just shy of 2 hours into the journey.[/quote]
Yeah they knew… the rescue seemed to be smoke and mirrors. Practice I guess.[/quote]

But I do wonder if they could confirm without sending people in.[/quote]
They confirmed by sending a robot. They recovered debris that matched the submersible. It took several days to get a device there that could reach such depths. [/quote]

I'm talking about the navy who knew about the implosion Sunday.[/quote]
They acted like they were rescuing until the O2 ran out. Then they found debris from the Titan and it was obvious what occurred.[/quote]

Acting like rescuing is exactly the same as acting like looking for debris, except for not officially stating that they can't prove the passengers are dead. [/quote]

But PP has a point and James Cameron made the same one: it should never have been done as a rescue. Scrambling planes and boats to search when they KNEW where to look, bringing medical personnel on… ludicrous. They could have confirmed on Monday it was an implosion. They always knew it was. Waiting until 30 minutes after the projected oxygen runout time on Thursday to say “wow guys we just found it!” was stupid. They knew all along it was an implosion event. Mounting an expensive and pointless search was a sham [/quote]

+100. They had us all doing an oxygen countdown when they knew the people were long dead. It's equivalent to the husband who kills his wife yet participates in the search to find the missing spouse  :roll: [/quote]

Wow.  Now you're accusing the Coast Guard, or maybe the enthralled general public, of murdering the Titan.  Just wow.[/quote]
