Did the coast guard ever say it would be impossible. Wasn't it just random folks on the internet. Same with people saying "they said it would be a tin can sizes" who are no upset it's not. None of this stuff ever came from official sources just speculation.


People were assuming that we wouldn't waste millions on this because we typically don't pull up small sunken boats from the bottom of the ocean. If you and your buddy go fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and your boat sinks, no one is putting in this kind of effort.


Sure, but if a commercial airliner crashed into the ocean and we found it, we would probably pull it up to investigate what happened (at least the black box). For example, they pulled up wreckage from air france 447 flight. I assume they are pulling it up to investigate the incident. I think any kind of commercial catastrophic accident they would attempt to pull up and determine the cause.


There are approximately 100,000 commercial flights per day. How many carbon fiber submersible trips are there each year?


I just think they are going to do it to investigate and see if they need to bring charges against anyone.

How many smuggler boats sink off of Florida every year? How many of them does the coast guard recover? This is 100% because the passengers were rich

I think it’s grotesque that none of these billionaire families have come out to say they’ll be covering the costs of this mission. Selfish until the end.

This wasn't an airliner, it was a one off shed design

I’m not a mechanical engineer or a materials scientist but it seems like the whole thing should have been made out of one material, titanium. Isn’t that how airplanes are? Having a mixture of materials just seems like too much differential stress at that depth.

Really makes you understand how incredible routine air travel is.

Remains are actually human tissue, body parts. They wouldn’t refer to clothing and equipment as remains.

I’m very curious if the remains are tissue or larger pieces, which might indicate how catastrophic the implosion was.

I admit to being surprised by how large the submersible pieces are.


They appear to be having trouble identifying it, so it doesn't seem like they found much intact.

I mean remains could be scraps of tissue

That’s definitely what I’m thinking now. 😢😢
