Yes we know they're billionaires
We can discuss things that are horrifying and ghoulish, thanks for your opinion.
Migrant boats are sad too

As you were 😁

Equivalent to the size of Wales. And the Falkland Islands if you want another British metric.

Better to wait until it's officially announced.

Does anyone know if there is a black box (or something the like) in the vessel, that would store conversations on board and offer some insight into what went on down there, should it be recovered?

I was thinking there should have been a very strong tether, like a very strong metal chain, but that could have got in the way of it going into the wreckage of the Titanic and/or damaged the wreckage if it hit against it (guessing).
What does anyone else think about that?

The debris field was found by an ROV at the bottom of the ocean near the titanic wreck , is that correct? It’s not floating around on the surface ?

I wonder if they'll be able to study the debris and figure out exactly what happened - and when. It does seem likely it imploded and hopefully no one suffered. The families will be able to get closure. I think now it's probably appropriate to day R.I.P.

Never underestimate the will of humans to survive. With hypothermia and/or sedation, they could extend their oxygen supplies to another day or so.

Correct. Not on the surface.

UPDATE:

Debris of sub found.

Going back now to look at more authentic sources.

sorry, already posted

towing a 2.5 mile plus long chain would all but eliminate their ability to maneuver and slow them down so much as to eliminate any time on station, so not really an option for what it is/is used for.

This is being reported on CNN. Reporter saying that feeling is that this information would not have been released if they thought it was part of a previously established debris field. They have not said where the debris field is relative to the Titanic itself.

USCG update at 3 pm EDT.

So does that mean the banging was completely unrelated?

And no confirmation that it IS the Titan. Per CNN

Press conference 8pm BST

That was a very quick find.

The US Coast Guard have said a debris field was discovered within the search area by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) near the Titanic wreck.

Yeh it doesn't seem conclusive that it's the titan. Just A debris field found not The debris of the titan

From The Guardian

So are they saying or insinuating the debris is the titan?
Its all worded poorly.

You sent me down a rabbit hole, @GwinCoch! I've just remembered seeing a BBC science show where that finding was discredited, yes, it is similar to this. Apparently they now think the 'WOW' signal came from a large comet.

If the implosion happened later on (ie when the recovery operation had begun) you'd imagine the sonar listening devices would definitely have picked it up. It's a bit surprising no military listening devices picked it up, if indeed it did implode when communications were lost.

They wouldn't announce finding debris if they didn't think it relevant.

I doubt it. The photos I've seen looked like the inside of a pringles tube.

Where does it say debris of the sub?
It says debris field found.

Would it have imploded immediately or has it imploded because it’s been stuck at the bottom for a long period of time?

Update: USCG saying debris field is 'near the Titanic'
