Tangled in Titanic wreckage?
That is one scenario I have heard from someone who was in a submersible that that very thing happened to.
Having said that, I also hear the vehicle was equipped with a $40 wireless video game controller for steering. I wonder what other equipment was of a poor quality.
Multiple possibilities.
Vehicle catastrophically failed at the beginning of losing contact and imploded.
Vehicle lost power and either is sitting at bottom and hard to see or floated back to surface and is hard to see.
Supposedly it had fail-safes to ensure it returned to the surface even if power lost by would be hard to see there, in the open rough ocean, as it rides low in the water.
Entangled in debris down there, now out of oxygen.
Sad. Prayers for their souls and for the grieving families.
If the craft is ever found intact, perhaps they survived long enough to record what happened and leave messages to their families behind in the craft before they all died.
I hope not. It might damage the wreckage.
Comm was lost before they got down. There is no reason they should be tangled in the Titanic because they never got there. Most likely it imploded and is at the bottom of the ocean in Davey Jones locker. How many have lost their lives at sea doing things more important to society? Kind of hard to care.
Not possible.
Reports say the descent to the wreck was 2.5 hours and the sub went ‘silent’ 1 hour 45 minutes into its descent.
I maintain that it imploded at loss of contact, evidenced by the USN’s refusal to participate in the ‘rescue’ (because they knew the sub imploded).
I also maintain that the ‘banging’ was a smokescreen to protect UW intel capabilities.
