hughesie27 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Guy on Sky News just got a Whatsapp and confirmed the debris is the submersible. Rear "pointy end" and a landing gear been found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Camazzola Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Expert with connections to recovery crews on Sky News just now. He's just received Intel that debris relates to two parts of sub (landing frame being one). More to follow after the break... 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly likely I'd say. Perhaps the controller has a bit stick drift and it drove them right into the Titanic which punched a hole in it.

That thing you do Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) If it imploded at time of comms loss then the good news is the crew would have died instantly and had no knowledge as it would happen instantly. They just said that the implosion is prior to sonar arriving on site as it wasnt picked up. So worst case they were stuck a day and a half but most likely gone instantly. If it imploded days after it got stuck it might have been sabotage given they were dying anyway. Who knows. But either way, condolences to the passengers families. And to the CEO who said "he could cheat safety and get away with it" did ye, aye. Litigation central incoming.

Oddly thats a more comforting idea than it crushing itself from the pressure. Instantaneous and all that. Suffocating or having any awareness of what was happening would be horrifying. Doesn't sound good for figuring out what happened, although from that video that @That thing you do has posted above, it looks like there were fairly reasonable safety concerns - the lack of certification, the material used & quality of the construction combined with missing deadlines.

The guy seemed to highlight that the norm for that kind of stuff is steel, albeit going to the bottom of the sea can hardly be considered normal!! Pretty insane to think they were using it with what appears to be minimal testing for tourist trips. The lack of certification too is pretty troubling - I wonder if this is connected, i.e would getting certification due to the material used be an issue?
