Been following his videos, great content on this.

Saw another vid noting that the rear hub wasn't seen publically coming off the salvage boat. Suspected that the rear hub contains what's left of the sub contents.
 
lack of concern by the base crew at decent rate still seems major suspicion about the transcript.


haven't seen an update on other subs - would expect tourists to be more cautious

The only explanation for the apparent lack of concern over the descent rate that I can offer might have been an awareness that in the tight confines of the accursed Pringles tube of doom, that the hapless ‘mission specialists’ might haven been able to read the the text over Stockton’s shoulder, and inadvertently triggering a panic was a consideration.
 
I read something earlier that because they couldn’t fit Titan on the support ship they may have been towing it for three days to the dive site… not sure if this was literally it in the water or on it’s little platform but either way, I doubt that was good for it.
 
I wonder why they didn't pressurise the inside of the submersible to reduce the pressure differential since carbon fibre handles tension quite well? Pressurising the inside would also reduce the oxygen requirements by increasing the ppO2. World diving record was 534m which is 54 atmospheres of pressure breathing 0.8% oxygen and 700m in a pressure chamber.

Pressure at the Titanic’s depth is 380 atmosphere - changing the pressure from 1 to 54 atmospheres wouldn’t make much difference, plus it would mean the ascension to the surface would take significantly longer due to the risk of decompression sickness. In this case, about 3 weeks.

Based on the depth the sub imploded at the effective reduction in pressure differential of 54 atm would have prevented the implosion, also the hull may not have accrued damage over time to the extent it did had it been exposed to lower pressure differentials. It probably would have failed at some point, but maybe much later on in it's life.

I'm not sure that the passengers would reach saturation during the time spent at that pressure so not sure it would be quite that long for decompression, but a pressurised habitat on the surface such as that used by saturation divers could be used for a slow decompression. But that would cost money and I suppose kind of defeats the whole point of the sub being done on a shoestring budget with inadequate testing, you'd probably have another Byford Dolphin style incident if Oceangate tried doing it.
