Press conference at 12pm PST. We probably won’t hear more until then.

Interesting computer simulation of a submarine imploding. Gives you an idea of what most likely happened to the Titan:

Not sure if any of those passengers knew morse code but that would be the only way to distinguish that those noises were human made if it was a distinct pattern. Just hearing banging doesn't really confirm that it was human made.

Also if there's still banging noises by tomorrow, that's a pretty good indication it's not human made as they've run out of oxygen. They just have to wait it out to see how long the banging noises lasts.

If the banging noises have stopped then that's a good indication it was man made until they ran out of oxygen.

Yeah, They’re a lot of naturally generated repeated knocking sounds and such (think metal pings from an engine block cooling down), and they can also be intermittent. So it’s not really conclusive that the source in this case was generated by humans, even if they have stopped coincidentally around the time it’s thought the air supply may have run out.

However, if you add in the debris, the story wouldn’t add up.

Debris = implosion = huge sound that should have been picked up by sonar.

It wouldn’t make sense to have the submersible lose power, run out of oxygen, make pinging noises which were detected (Tue n Wed), and have debris without any implosion sounds detected.

Only way this story makes sense is if the implosion happened immediately at the 1:45 hr mark. Somehow the sound of the implosion wasn’t detected and then there’s been banging noises ever since but somehow councidentally stopped around Wednesday.

To me, debris indicates whatever the ROV found may have come apart

"Debris field" found near Titanic in search for missing sub, U.S. Coast Guard says

LINK
Quote:

"A debris field was discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic," officials said.

The Coast Guard said Thursday morning that a robot from a Canadian vessel had reached the sea floor near the Titanic to look for the sub. Officials were expected to discuss the findings during a news conference Thursday afternoon.

RIP.
Hopefully the lesson learned is that you don't screw with safety when it comes to deep sea exploration.

I read something from an engineer who basically said at that pressure a breach would cause instantaneous death. So hopefully they didn't suffer.

You’re assuming that the collapse happened after the banging sounds were heard. What makes total sense is that the submersible suffered a catastrophic collapse on descent which lead to the loss of comms. That tracks with a debris field, which means wreckage spread over an area, ragged than later while just sitting on the bottom. The collapse of the structure would not have been detected by the hydrophones because they hadn’t been deployed because it happened before the rescue team even left port. What also tracks is that could explain the intermittent knocking sounds. Metals make such sounds when they are contracting, which could happen to the debris post implosion.

Wife of OceanGate CEO descended from Titanic victims

The wife of OceanGate's CEO is descended from victims of the Titanic wreck of 1912, geneological records suggest.

Wendy Rush, the wife of Stockton Rush, is the great-great-granddaughter of Isidor and Ida Straus, The New York Times first reported. USA TODAY confirmed the tie through geneological records online.

The couple was last seen together on the deck of the Titanic holding hands as it sank, according to the U.K. government's National Archives.


I heard this couple was featured in the movie

Who pays the cost for Coast Guard rescues?

The cost of the search and rescue mission is likely in the millions of dollars — and will fall to taxpayers, said Chris Boyer, the executive director of the National Association for Search and Rescue, a non-profit education, training and advocacy group.

Unfortunately sounds like the materials on the submersible failed. There was a limited number of times they could go down there before the vessel experienced a catastrophic implosion. Those passengers just happened to be the unfortunate souls that boarded the vessel. If the vessel was designed as the engineers wanted to the lifespan of it would probably be much longer and they would still be here today.

I'm missing this part of the story. Was there a dispute between the engineers and how it ended up being built?

The deceased CEO admitted he ignored his engineers building the vessel.

He fired his engineer who wanted to make sure to test the hull's integrity.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) have said that between 400 and 750 people were believed to have been on board the boat that capsized on June 14 in the Ionian Sea some 47 nautical miles (87km) off the Greek town of Pylos..

So far, only 104 survivors have been found alive. None of the women or children who were allegedly kept in the hold of the boat have been found.


The tragedy off Greece was the third major incident recorded since February in which migrants and refugees from Pakistan lost their lives at sea.

If the knocking sounds were caused by the metal debris contracting from the pressure, it is completely logical that it would stop after a period of time, whether it be hours or days, when that debris reaches it’s point of maximum compression point. .

Hopefully this will end Titanic tourism for many years. No one will want to go down there unless the submersible is safe. Sad that something catastrophic had to happen first.

We'll probably never know. My prediction is I'd think the banging noises are still going on right now. But, I don't think they'll release that info.

I always bet against huge coincidences.

I heard from another video that the Russians also go there. So, I don't think it'll end.

Exactly. The Greeks didn't want to help them. Meanwhile the world stops for these guys and CNN is eulogizing them. On the bright side Pakistanis know the world cares about them...if they are rich.
