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 😁

Or people could just not create conspiracy theories

I don't usually identify with disaster stories, but this one had me thinking nearly all the time of those desperate people sitting in a cold metal box and wondering how long the oxygen would last.
Although the outcome is still tragic, a quick death is better than the agony of a slow death.

As the late great Terry Pratchett said a lie can be half way round the world while the truth is still putting it's boots on.

Think of a shower screen smashing. The frame remains intact, but the centre area disintegrates.

Sorry I meant how was it so far away on the seabed, as I imagined their descent was pretty much right over the site of the wreck?

So around 450 metres from the Titanic? They would not want to descend right on top of the wreck and risk getting snagged. The graphics I've seen show them descending on a slope pattern like a plane coming in to land and they were not at full depth when contact was lost. It would be like an aircraft exploding part way into the final descent into an airport - the wreckage would mostly be found on the ground before the airport not at the airport.

I think the coast guard said if it imploded in the last 2 days their sound devices would have picked it up. So hopefully it was on the first day & there was no time to panic

If they release the "banging noises", then it might put the conspiracy theories to rest at least?

You don’t understand how conspiracy theorists and conspiracy theories work do you?

Total bollox. Choose what you Read better

Could someone please link to the Mexican’s video? Was it on one of the other threads?

Very sad news but I’m so relieved to hear they didn’t suffer.

The owner described {In the Mexican's video} how things would literally explode with dynamite like released energy.

I don't get that. How can it explode against the massive pressure that is outside? I always picture explosions as something that expands, I can't see that happening here.

The sub had no way of positioning itself as it descended so it could have been coming down some distance from the Titanic. At least one previous trip the sub had got lost and failed to find the Titanic at all. If it imploded before it got to the sea bed then the debris could have been moved by the force of the implosion or currents as it drifted down to the ocean floor.

Very sad outcome. May they rest in peace and I hope their families find the strength to get through their grief.

I really hope the company don’t continue these tours around the titanic. Let this be the last one so that nothing like this ever happens again.

No. Just stop

Currents would have caused the Titan to move sideways on it's descent, too. Some of the very early coverage said it got to roughly the right spot, and then the mothership guided it to the wreck.

I think (hope?) you’ll find that Catbeemouse wasn’t being entirely serious with that comment.

Implodes rather than explodes. Imagine crushing an eggshell in your fist?

CNN and rollling stone said something about the banging every half an hour. I believe the “for 3 minutes” is simply navy protocol that an interviewee explained

I don’t know how realistic this is but I really hope their bodies can somehow be recovered and returned to their families so that they can be laid to rest.

Here:

The Coastguard didn't dispute that there were banging noises, But no-one was able to confirm for definite where they were coming from. The experts were divided. Most likely we will never know.

What absolute bollocks are you reading? Please don’t share nonsense like this that has absolutely nothing to back it up.

The coastguard categorically denied that. They said they had sonar buoys in the water on Monday that would have picked up an implosion and they registered nothing.

Sadly I think everyone was dead before they were even reported missing - right after contact was lost

Alan's video has English subtitles for the first two videos.

The fourth video he gets to see Titanic.
