I keep hearing “It was quick!” proclaimed. Well except for the days leading up to it knowing it was imminent. Guess being trapped in a tiny space knowing you’re doomed isn’t that big a deal to some folks.

But they are saying now that it probably happened early on Sunday while they were descending to the lower depths. There wasn’t the whole waiting around thing that many in the media was portraying.

I’m pretty sure that some knew about it early. There is word that some part of our defense/nat.sec/intelligence registered the implosion and certain people were notified. That’s probably the reason why the Coast Guard was already telling people not to come as early as Monday. They weren’t allowed to say so, but I think they already knew.

I believe it collapsed on descent. No days of waiting at all.

They were dead the whole time the media spoke of rescue. Probably chatting amongst themselves during the descent, then suddenly not existing.

i dont think it went down like that. I think from the first “tinks” heard from the pressure, it wasnt to much longer after that the lights went out per se. at 4000ft what the vehicle was rated at, the hydro pressure would be close to 2000 psi. at the depth of the titanic, hydro psi is above 5500... either is enough to cruch you immediately...

No, they died within the first 90 minutes on the way down, according to the CG

Then one can switch over to the conspiracy theory that Biden & Co. knew it had imploded early on, cynically milking it as a distraction. Removes the claustrophobic nightmares of being entombed alive for any length. Doesn’t help with nightmares re: Biden unfortunately.

Well except for the days leading up to it knowing it was imminent.

I think you got that part wrong. They likely imploded never knowing there was a problem.
