An expert detailed Thursday what the five victims killed in the Titan submersible likely faced in the “catastrophic implosion” near the Titanic ship.
The United States Coast Guard announced on Thursday that the five passengers inside the submersible were “lost” in a “catastrophic implosion” just hours after they found debris near the wrecked Titanic ship.
“The reality is, at that depth and at those pressures, this is the natural outcome … this is definitely the way to go,” G. Michael Harris, a Titanic expedition leader, said on Fox News. “So, two nanoseconds for that vehicle to implode and it would take your spinal column four nanoseconds to register to your brain. Then it’s a problem. So we always said if there’s a problem out of the body in the presence of the Lord.”
Butch Hendrick, a rescue diver, said he hoped the submersible was “entangled,” and added he is thankful the search has been resolved. Dr. Michael Gullen, who experienced being stuck in a vessel undersea, said he knew the situation had to be a “catastrophic failure.”

“It was designed to pop back up to the surface if anything had gone wrong happened, and it had backup systems, electrical systems and ultimately compressive air systems, automatic systems and the fact that none of those systems kicked in to bring this thing to the top, indicated to me that it had to be a catastrophic failure,” Gullen said.
The remains of the five passengers have not been found by search teams. The victims have been identified as British billionaire Hamish Harding, French oceanographer and Titanic researcher Paul-Henri Nargeolet, OceanGate CEO and pilot Stockton Rush, Pakistani business mogul Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Suleman.
The submersible departed off the coast of St. John’s, Newfoundland on Sunday and lost contact with the mother ship less than two hours after its departure. Experts said the submersible would likely run out of oxygen by Thursday as it was equipped with 96 hours of breathable air.
A search for the submersible immediately began for several days until the discovery of the debris.
They no longer exist.................
All 5 seem like the vax-getting type. We didn’t lose our brightest in this one.
Rather a preliminary crack and a millisecond to stare down Hamish, knowing the bell was going to unring in the next second. I would have gone with my hands around his fat neck.
I know we are all assuming it imploded, which it most assuredly did, but I also wonder if it might have collided with something when it did so, and the ‘other thing’ survived and went about its business as if nothing happened............
Pretty fast. Just look at our beloved Nation.
As many as want to.
Just ask anyone who leaved their fingers behind while using a table saw. They usually notice the loose finger first.
It doesn't have to be a billionaire, it could be anybody who can afford to participate in an adventure service offered to anyone........
OK, I will give you a few hints. “Butch” claims the implosion was complete at 2 nanoseconds. The cylinder is greater than 4 ft in diameter, so the implosion would be travelling at a speed greater than that of light. Water cannot travel faster than the speed of light. IMO that means “Butch” is a pompous idiot.
I’m thinking bug-hitting-windshield-at-90mph.
That’s pretty dang close!........
Also, I doubt very highly that anything in the human body, even nerve signals, happen in 4 nanoseconds.
If you change nanoseconds to milliseconds it makes a lot more sense!
There was a show last night about those kids lost in the Amazon for 40 days. I had planned to record it but forgot. In looking at the synopsis the show was put out by TMZ and had lots of weird theories that the kids weren’t really out there, government conspiracies, etc.
Les Stroud (Survivorman) was interviewed by some news outfit early-on when the kids were still lost. The oldest (girl, 13 years old) had some experience in the jungle going out with older villagers to get food, etc. He thought that with her experience they should be able to survive for quite awhile.
These people always make me wonder, how did these guys actually make their money (if they did) and how does the first guy selling magic means or positions in a teleporter startup not just walk off with the whole thing?
He owner made his money gambling.
He also set it so that if he lost the bet he would not have to pay for it...$$
He chose death over facing the fact that his sub was a failure.
I spent 8 years working at a lumber remanufacturing plant. One time I tried to pull out a splintered piece of wood that was jamming up the moulder. The knives on the head were hacking up my fingers. I noticed a strange sensation and realized what was happening, then pulled my hacked-up hand away,
Funny. GPS doesn’t penetrate the water.
Thanks for the correction. I had read that subs increased air pressure to compensate for lower oxygen levels, and that airliners needed to be pressurized at high altitudes in order to maintain structural integrity (besides breathing), and since everything on the Internet is true:), then I thought subs needed the same.
