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 😁

Comms were lost 1h45 into a two hour descent, the pressures were plenty high enough.

Desperately sad for all concerned.

However..A fast death would be 'Preferable' for most people over a prolonged days of suffering.

Rest in Peace.

The Oceans are unforgiving, especially when doing risky endeavours like this.

My thoughts precisely. Thank you to the knowledgeable among you for sharing that knowledge. It's been a learning curve albeit a very sad one.

Chilling. Just chilling.

Awfully sad news but as others have pointed out, much better than the alternative at this point. The press briefing made it very clear that the sub would have imploded days ago, I thought. No need for people to worry about the crew suffering for days before dying. It's a fitting death for some of the men onboard, explorers til their last - but tragic for the young man.

Sadly, it WAS imaginable. They knew of the risk and took it anyway. Totally self-indulgent folly.

@TallulahBetty I admire the Hamish bloke as apparently he did all sorts of things like that. His wife would've known he was into that (still sad for his family though.)

But I don't think we can necessarily say the 19 year old knew the risks. Imagine most people's perception of risk at 19 years old. Apparently it was arranged as a Father's Day treat for his dad.

My feeling was relief too. The thought of them trapped in there for so long was unbearable. Hopefully it is of some comfort to the families.

Such sad news but I'll be honest, I spent the whole conference wondering if they are lying because they got there too late (possibly from looking in the wrong place where the banging was) and it would be too heartbreaking to tell the family that they were alive for all that time. And I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist. Honest.

Thanks for explaining that. So the wreckage of the hull does probably exist as one crushed lump, it’s just a question of finding it?
No it has broken into multiple pieces. The front and rear which were titanium, have been found.

Ok well I'm kind of glad about that then. Definitely quick and they probably would have been having a laugh or sharing stories and never known about it.

Whats the banging then? Are they going to find the source of that or what?

What do you mean by the hull, the carbon fibre piece?

The titanium domes at the front and back are, I think, still dome shaped.

But are you American? ;)

FFS.

General sea sounds, I guess. I don’t think it was ever confirmed at a press conference that the banging was man made in pattern

“Catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber” - what does this mean in layman’s terms?

This is not likely

feel for the friends of the student at Strathclyde University
feel for all family and friends of the 5

Just awful news, somewhat tempered by the fact it would have happened in a flash and they wouldn't have known or suffered.

It's unbelievable really that the Titanic has claimed more victims.

Not load enough. HUGE stuff like major earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and nuclear explosions can do that kind of thing though.

Where did the 3 mins of banging every 30 mins come from then? Just someone bullshitting and it snowballed from there?

Will the banging noises be released now?

There were certainly noises that were being investigated.

Again, it was never stated by any official that these were on the half hour etc

What good would that do?

I watched one of the linked videos where the owner said the plexiglass domed window would crack and give a warning before shattering under pressure.

He didn't seem to be bothered at the thought.
