“... remains would have floated to the surface”
Uh, no. Without inflated lungs, a human body (or whatever pieces of it remain) don’t float. Think.

SOSUS perhaps. It’s replacement probably not so much.

Not surprised in the least.

Don’t worry I’m sure fake news will tell us how brave and diverse the dumb billionaires were by going down in a homemade tin can to 12000 feet because they were bored

How old was the CEO that was on board?
He is white, has gray hair and is the one who made the original statement about 50 year, white men.🤔

From another article: ""debris has been found which may be the landing frame and a rear cover of the tail instrument compartment of the Titan lost on previous dives""

"Lost on previous dives???"

Parts? Parts? We don't need no stinkin' parts!

Perhaps we could recommend to Adam Schiffer, that the REAL Russia, Russia, Russia proof is near the Titanic. We could explain it has been designated a SCIF, and the only way to view it is in person.

We in no way wish him any harm. Don't go away mad, just go away.

I’ll just watch old Bob Ballard videos on You Tube.

I guess now that they will be offering tours down to the wreckage of the submersible.

No, at the depths they were operating the implosion would have been on the order of a just few milli-seconds.

They were instantly rendered into Krill, at best.

Parts fell off on previous dives

It really should be a clue that their quality control sucked.

Go look at pictures of that sub. People could most certainly directly view through that window.

If this is all true and they imploded, that’s the best case scenario could considering.

I don’t know anything about subs and all that, so I can’t speak with any authority, but I can’t believe how rinky dink this operation seemed.

The reporting on this has been so predictably stupid.

It's not clear exactly when the Titan imploded, but Coast Guard officials said that sonar buoys dispatched "did not hear any signs of catastrophic failure."
Logical conclusion (despite secrecy veil from USN): It imploded either upon or shortly after loss of contact as it neared target depth (i.e., SUNDAY).

They kept the story going so everyone would be riveted by it and not notice HUNTERBIDEN . . .

Water pressure at 2.5 miles down is so strong nothing would float to the surface.

I think they did it out of national security concerns and respect for the families privacy................

Affirmative. There is a potential to let an adversary know too much about our capabilities when it comes to the art of submarine detection. Knowing where a small boat is in the middle of a big ocean can save millions of American lives.
