In 1963, USS Thresher imploded at test depth killing all 129 aboard—the Navy blamed a "piping failure" and closed the case. But declassified documents from the 2000s revealed the submarine had over 800 documented defects before diving, whistleblower testimony proved inspectors were pressured to approve faulty welds, and acoustic analysis of the final moments shows the crew knew they were dying for nearly 5 minutes as water flooded in. The Navy knew Thresher wasn't safe, sent her down anyway, then spent 60 years hiding that 129 men died from institutional negligence, not accident.

Yeah, it is long, — I kind of scanned it.

Sometimes people get criticized for only posting an exerpt.

So, posters lose, either way.

AI channels seem to come in waves on a given subject, politics, history, war, etc. It makes is harder for a automated system to detect and screen them out. When several channels all act the same way, it looks legitimate until enough people report it.

My Dad was a business associate of the father of a young man who died on the USS Thresher.

That was a really big news story in 1963.

The implosion took just one tenth of a second, which means every one was dead before before the first pain signals reached their brain.

Unfortunately, probably all of them knew they were descending and the game was over.
