[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]James Cameron is saying he knew since Monday (when he first heard this news) that the submersible definitely imploded.

He believes the Coast Guard, Navy, etc. knew as well & that it was wrong of them to not let the public know this at the time.
He says it was wrong for them to string the public along with false hope.

I think as outspoken as James Cameron is (and always has been!) if this were true he would have said something on Mon.
But he never did so I am not inclined to believe him.[/quote]

I don't think they knew it "definitely" imploded, but they might have had strong suspicions. Other explanations for the noise could have included military and the sort of banging noises that occur undersea and which were reported in the following days. So they were looking at probabilities, and whether they assessed implosion at 75% or 99%, who knows. They had a tough decision: stop searching on Sunday and the public hates on them for giving up too soon, or keep searching and armchair quarterbacks like Cameron hate on you.

They have to keep looking until it could be confirmed.
