They associated the debris they found earlier to be from the sub which pretty much confirms the implosion.
I’d definitely choose to die that way over asphyxiation or dehydration.
From what I heard they had two bottles for urine and a bag to deficate in. It would have been freezing and extremely humid inside after even a day as well.
A implosion would be way better than days cramped together suffocating and starving in a inescapable freezing stench filled coffin.
Plus imagine being the poor coast guard team that has to crack that sucker open after they finally found and raised it 🤢
100%
I read the company skipped a load of safety and redundancy checks. Thats crazy…if it’s true. Cutting corners to save a few bucks .
I’m not surprised due the greed that exists in the world but this should require the same level of regulation as a plane or a rocket . Not some metal cylinder with a $30 controller duck taped inside it.
So, they made their
seabed and now lie on it?It’s hard to find empathy for those guys.
Hopefully the company goes out of business and there is someone held accountable but I won’t hold my breath. Its sad for the families all the same.
It will probably go out of business declaring bankruptcy, to avoid paying any indemnification or fines for the use of emergency resources.
Sure, it’s sad for the families, but I find that my empathy is better off being spent elsewhere.
Even if some employee got caught in this CEO’s whims, that employee already sold his life away upon embarking on a sub made by a company whose head thinks “safety just is pure waste.”
What’s a waste is this CEO not surviving to regret his very words.
It’s actually astounding that this company seemingly gave zero fucks and was just allowed to go through with this. Like, I assume there was some permitting/process that needed to be obtained to go dive to the Titanic. I have to write overblown safety memos at work when just dealing with simple pressurized inert gas cylinders. How did this happen? Lol I wouldn’t even use a logitech wireless controller to game on my PC.
Libertarianism happened, in conjunction with a few signed waivers.
I’ve got no love for billionaires, and obviously this story overshadowing the migrant boat sinking in Greece is infuriating, but I’m really not a fan of the glee so many people on social media are expressing at the deaths of these five people.
Also, on another note, I seriously cannot get over the fact that the late CEO of the company, Stockton Rush, has the absolute perfect team name for a minor league football team from central California.
I think worrying about people making fun of some rich ass billionaires dying for doing something stupid, is the last hill you should choose to die on. These people made their riches and wealth by exploiting normal people like you and me.
You don’t have to actively root for their deaths, but I’m certainly not shedding any tears for them experiencing the consequences of their own actions.

That’s… What he said? Lol
“I’ve got no love for billionaires… but the glee people have for their deaths…”
Let’s leave the “if you have any scrutiny whatsoever it must mean you’re on the opposite side of everything I stand for” bullshit on reddit where it belongs and actually read what people are saying.
Wouldn’t say I’m dying on any hill here, only saying there are very few people whose deaths should be celebrated, and these are not those people.
I am curious as to what the repeated knocking on ~30 minute intervals that was picked up on sonar ends up being if not from the sub.
Similar things have happened in other underwater rescue situations and it almost always turns out to be equipment involved in the search. The sonar bouys dropped by the planes are extremely sensitive pieces of equipment.
If I had to guess, every 30 minutes or so a boat running a grid search pattern would get close enough to one of the bouys that it was able to pick up sounds from the boat. As the grid pattern took the boat further away from the bouy it wasn’t able to continue to pick up the noise, and the “knocking” stopped after about 4 hours and wasn’t heard again until a few days later. Then the search pattern changed, and boats started getting close to the bouys again.It was a fish knocking on the window and saying, ‘here, billy, billy, billy, billionaire’.
It was intermittent because an orca kept swimming past and saying, ‘don’t do that, it’s bad for them, but if you like the sound of that you’re better off knocking on the bottom of the big ones up top’.
