Titanic submersible confirmed destroyed with loss of all five souls onboard.

No it is macabre as is this whole thread. Waiting for people to due needlessly.

They've paid their dues, I suspect up front, what they probably want is a posthumous refund.

So when will the good captain be honest and say it's over?

 

[Scrutinize]

To help conceptualise how hard the search is in 3d volumetric space.

Imagine releasing a normal sized black helium party balloon into the sky in the countryside.

In the day you can actually see it for a reasonable height and distance. This is how many people seem to perceive the search to be.

Now do it at night.

Then start looking for it many hours after release.

That is much closer to the reality before you add in sub surface complexity.

Seems to be a few reports that a debris field may have been found in the search area near the Titanic, press conference coming up.
Sounds like that's it to be honest

In the nicest possible way, I kind of hope for their sake it is, at least it probably would have been quick.

Just pinged on my watch, doesn't sound good.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Would have been quick at least. I wonder how long until a company offers trips down to the debris field.

 

[JamesH85]

Interesting. Yeah if it's imploded, at least it was fast,

The Simpsons predictions once again a reality?

So looks like structural failure then

Well, got to be it then..

RIP..

Not good news, but also good news..

Plenty of bacteria on and in the 5 humans. The problem is the bacteria need air and whether its CO2 or O2 it will all get used up eventually.

Anoxic bacteria is quite happy without/low oxygen.

It has to be a hell of a weird way to go because you wouldn't even see it coming. It would be the same experience as us stepping on an ant. Lights out in a millisecond.

And it puts to bed the story.
Its also the most likely outcome.

In the grand scheme of ways to die in this environment.. This is one of the better ones

Chances of finding a debris field of something else in the same area, very slim unless something else was reported missing there some time ago.

Has to be them really.

 

[Minusorange]

At least the lawsuits will be interesting to follow

 

[lookitsjonno]

Thank god for that, they wouldn't have known a thing

Considering that Magellan high resolution scan of the entire ship and surrounding debris field was only concluded very recently, unless there have been other dives in that small window of time, probably unlikely.

I suspect there will be film makers just watching the days until they can make a documentary or hollywood horror film.

The issue with 4K down is that a spotlight doesn’t go far so it may take time, plus any currents will carry the corpses.
