"Company confirms its vehicle found debris field in Titanic submersible search area
From CNN’s Paul P. Murphy

A spokesperson for Pelagic Research Services confirmed to CNN that its remote operated vehicle (ROV), which was the first to conduct a search for the missing OceanGate sub on the sea floor, found the debris field.

The US Coast Guard announced earlier today that a debris field had been found in the search area.

Pelagic Research Services describes itself on its website as “an ocean services company that brings expedition planning, execution and state of the art sub-sea research tools to the ocean community on a global basis."


From the front page of the Pelagic Research Services website that I just went to:

"PRS want to express our full gratitude for the incredible, coordinated rescue response of everyone involved in this search and rescue mission. Our focus right now is on the families of those on the Titan and for their tragic loss."

"Tragic loss" is an interesting choice of words. Probably unintentional (though confusing).

Why is it an interesting choice of words? They are clearly dead. People don’t actually still think there’s a chance that they are bobbing around waiting to be unsealed, right?

if reports are true and there was something defective/leak, they never had a chance. The pressure in itself would cause it to implode ...there's nothing to "find"

The Titan would probably have reached a depth of around 3,500 meters by the time communication was lost, meaning the pressure would be equal to 345 times Earth's atmosphere. If the pressure vessel has failed catastrophically, it’s like a small bomb going off.

The 3PM conference means that think they have some new information, maybe

we shouldn't be helping of paying for this..

yes, we should because it's the right thing to do. willing to bet if that was your family, you might see things differently

I think it’s only the right thing to do up until there is no way there could be any survivors, particularly given that it may imploded and there aren’t remains to return to the family.

I get this, but at the same time, at this point they've all mobilized such international effort and spent that money, let them tie it up. If they're still there in a few weeks that's ridiculous, but for now let all of those on the rescue/recovery get that experience.

You'll probably end up being right.

If I were in that situation, i would want the quickest death possible.
