[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 believe him. It's also been revealed that the Navy did know when it imploded. I think nothing was said to the public because they didn't have visual proof until the USCG arrived on the scene to explore. Once they had visual confirmation, it was all released.

That's SOP in any disaster.

I listened to a podcast with the father who lost a child in the Uvalde shooting. He said how gut-wrenching it was to be sat waiting with the other parents after the last bus of rescued kids arrived and left. He said they all knew at that time that the group they were in was the parents whose kids didn't make it, but no one in charge could say that to most parents because they couldn't make positive IDs on most of the kids. Even after having to give DNA samples to the techs so IDs could be made, no one said outright "I'm sorry, your child is deceased" because there wasn't definite proof. It makes sense, but he said it also gives so much false hope because you think of a million 'what if' situations to keep hope alive even though common sense should take over. [/quote]
