Missing Titanic Submersible

Well, this is awkward... Titan initiated its dive on Sunday, June 18th. ALSO on Sunday was this from my Far Side calendar:

It's your fault!!!

[El Chupacabra]

It's your fault!!!

Was it a Volvo submarine?

[BmillsSkier]

Had to be Land Rover

[rideit]

Ironic that if they had just made the entire thing out of Titanium, it probably would have been strong enough.

[Supermoon]

There’s just so much intersection/overlap with this story.

Who had Blink-182 - submarine tragedy - murderous orcas on their 2023 bingo card?

With a side of Cardi B

No, we would have seen the smoke that escaped from the Lucas electrical bits.

Has there been any discussion about when the implosion might have occurred i.e. when coms were lost at 1300 M, or sometime after, assuming the loss of coms also included loss of buoyancy control, etc.?

[Danno]

While the implosion surely killed them "quickly", we do not know if the problems that led to the implosion happened quickly. For ex, perhaps they lost control -- or partial control -- of the sub, and were drifting or moving erratically, and they all know that they were fucked. Or maybe something happened that made them believe hull breach was imminent, but they had a few moments to think about it.

Well, looks like they found it. Sad...

Maybe they recover a hard drive from the sub + data from their final dive? If they had external cameras, then it would show their last moments being surrounded by Orcas.

Again, why don't they make all of this stuff out of the material they use for the airplane black boxes?

The cyclindrical contructiion was probably a factor as well. Any other deep sea submersibles use that before? Normally the passenger cell would be a sphere.

Seems likely there were some shit-your-pants noises happening before the ocean intruded.

[JimmyCarter]

Peppa called it too

[mud]

It was quick, that is to be sure.

Most would not be able to process it.

Many souls do not even know they are dead.

Like driving through Ohio.

[Not DJSapp]

I haven't been paying attention. Does the airplane take off or not?

[highangle]

I haven't been paying attention. Does the airplane take off or not?

The fucking front fell off.

[east or bust]

I just wanna know what all that banging was.

Maybe it was pieces of the dingy hitting the big ship.

U.S.
U.S. Navy Detected Titan Sub Implosion Days Ago
UNDERWATER MICROPHONES DESIGNED TO DETECT ENEMY SUBMARINES FIRST DETECTED TITAN TRAGEDY

WASHINGTON—A top secret U.S. Navy acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard the Titan sub implosion hours after the submersible began its mission, officials involved in the search said.

The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, according to a U.S. defense official. Shortly after its disappearance, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the commander on site, U.S. defense officials said.

“The U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,” a senior U.S. Navy official told The Wall Street Journal in a statement. “While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.”

The Navy asked that the specific system used not be named, citing national security concerns.

Kinda curious what the dynamic was with the father-son duo.

Was Dad trying to re-connect with his teenage son by doing something dangerous and uber-adventurous together? Or was it son begging Dad for once-in-a-lifetime trip because he got infatuated w/Titanic after watching the movie or doing book report or something??

One thing is for certain though; guarantee you Mom was dead-set against the whole thing.

Not really top secret anymore, huh?
