Barring the recovery of the intact sub while there was still breathable air, this was the best possible outcome. Death would have been instantaneous.

OceanGate said in a statement that “we now believe that our CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, have sadly been lost.”

Oh totally. They say it happens 5x faster than the human brain can even process. Would be faster than a light switch.

worth a rewatch - CBS Sunday Morning episode where they go down in the Titan to the Titanic

@George-K said in Submersible tour boat joins the Titanic:
At least they stopped short of saying "Let them die."
The tweet has been deleted.
The internet is forever:
So, they replaced it with this "better" tweet.

Did you see the whole attempt to blame it on Elon Musk and Starlink?

If the sub was disabled the pilot would surely know that recovery could take weeks.
He would have no choice
He would have to kill the others to save himself

https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/jfHkP_1UqqKM_pBmRZ8kaRAGONEEMqQg/I just watched that this morning. This is sad but I wonder if they have video footage from the main ship documenting the trip and accidentally documenting the initial confusion and reaction when it went missing.

So it sounds like the facts are in.
The Navy (using top secret tech) detected an implosion sound about 9,000 feet down, on the 13,000 feet trip. They knew about this immediately. This helped eventually narrow the search area. A Canadian remotely operated sub found wreckage debris, including main hull, on the ocean floor about 1,700 feet from the titanic. Likely no bodies to recover.

THey're also blaming the implosion on repeated stress on the hull.

What does “repeated” mean? Like after repeat trips into the ocean, or repeated stress during this dive?

This.
Aircraft are certified for only so many cycles before structural failures need to be addressed.

A thought...Carbon fiber arrows are used a lot in archery. Unlike aluminum, though, when they go, they fail catastrophically. I wonder if a sub hull is the same way?...

So now we know they were dead already on day 2, so what the hell was the rhythmic knocking heard after that….something else is down there playing drums….

So this answers our question about the sonobuoy and related underwater listening technology. It was quite remarkable when I was around it in the mid 80s, of course 40 years later it will be indistinguishable from magic.

From the NYT:
The U.S. Navy, using data from a secret network of underwater sensors designed to track hostile submarines, detected “an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion” in the vicinity of the Titan submersible at the time communications with the vessel were lost on Sunday, two senior Navy officials said on Thursday.

So if they heard the implosion at the time, why didn’t they say anything until yesterday?
