As thread 3 is filling up here is a new one. For the benefit of those just joining the conversation;

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 😁

It does feel strange if it was indeed at regular intervals (but perhaps that information wasn’t reliable)

Yeh I agree but i think it'd wrong to say "debris of sub found" when the article doesn't actually say that!

To my eyes the USCG tweet is perfectly worded:

"A debris field was discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic. Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information."

BBC news had an expert on saying a debris field doesn't necessarily say much on its own about what's happened, even if it is the Titan. It will take time to find out what happened and when and that if it is the Titan it doesn't mean it's the entire sub but parts of it. The guy also said a timeline would be constructed which could still include the banging noises being relevant.

I wouldn't say "poorly worded". They're sharing the information they've got. They've not got proof that it's the sub yet but an unexpected debris field in that particular area...It would be a bit of a coincidence if it was anything other than the Titan.

cant believe they're chatting to a guy on sky news who is friends with two of the people
on the sub. He's totally choked up and seems close to tears.

what if the banging was the sub and it has only imploded since due to being stuck under water for a prolonged period of time?

Agree this is fine

At this point there’s so much interest they may as well update rather than there be leaks of inaccuracies

That sounds quite possible. I haven’t seen updates about when the banging stopped/if it was still going on.

Surely all the sonar listening devices in the area would have picked it up.

Yeh sorry the wording of that is fine and the daily mail one. The inaccuracies was the poster saying update sub has being found but it's not conclusive..

I just can't imagine it would have imploded later. Surely it was day 1 early on.
Well, I hope so anyway

We have no idea. We may never know.

I'm assuming the delay re: the press conference is to speak with the families first and advise them of what has been found.

Assuming it is the sub personally I think it's likely there was a catastrophe at the time they lost contact. But I don't know if there is any way that could be substantiated.

The reason being they lost contact before they reached the titanic (so unlikely to have been caught on the wreck) but still at tremendous depths and would explain why they never surfaced - despite the fail safes and why any implosion wasn't detected by rescuers (as they weren't there yet).

I agree this is the most logical way it happened.

BBC confirming that the upcoming press conference is directly related to the debris field.

The people on the rescue mission are having a to tread a delicate line here. They have to update enough to be the authority on the updates and avoid things spiraling, but not giving so much to encourage speculation, and they need to be mindful of the family.

The tweet seemed good to me

There is much worse going on in the world and these people voluntarily took this decision. Anyone that says they didn't all know the risk......sorry it doesn't take a genius.

Yes, hence I went back (and stated exactly that where you are reading!) to look at credible sources.

I can now amend to debris field.

It was posted in the spirit of the thread- have you been on threads 1,2 and 3 or just this one?

Sorry! I think I saw that show too, it was just one of those odd coincidences that wouldn’t stop playing through my mind…

It's interesting how the story about the banging being regular has become almost an accepted fact...did the USCG ever actually say anything other than there noises?

God sky news is heartbreaking

what if the banging was the sub and it has only imploded since due to being stuck under water for a prolonged period of time?

The implosion/explosion would probably have been heard. The bangs were heard, but an implosion was not heard, is unlikely.

Read between the lines. The coastguard have announced they have found debris exactly where they were looking for the sub and will be holding a press conference about it after further analysis.

It's not looking great.

The vessel can suffer a small leak which at that depth and pressure is unstoppable, it can cut through most anything. In that case sonar would only hear hissing and only if nearby as the vessel slowly fills with water until pressures are equal - no big bang necessary. It happened with a research ROV which was lost due to a pinprick hole at a port (Bathysphere)

I've been on them all...
