What I thought stunk about the whole story. .
1) there's a support vehicle on top of the water..
2) The sub is tethered to the support Ship
3)We never heard one single word from or about the support ship.
4)I thought that at anytime in danger, the support ship could have reeled it back in.

Or to say the least it's sonar depth finder should have had an idea where it was or where it went.

I think there're several reasons the Navy didn't make a statement about the (implosion) noise to the press.
They don't want the world to know about the listening capabilities it has in the ocean.
They knew that planes and ships were going out to see what happened anyway.

Nope I don't buy that, they had no problem blabbing about the microphonic probes dropped from the plane, when they were saying they were hearing banging noises.

Which I also thought suspect.. Why are they dropping listening devices from a plane, where it is untethered, meaning, they wouldn't be sure the direction the noise was coming from when it was dropped. As they wouldn't know the orientation at the time it picked up the sound. Which they said that was the case, and why they were unable to pinpoint where the sound was coming from. They finally said "Oh it's just the sound the ocean makes."

An implosion would travel for thousands of miles, I'm sure other countries picked it up as well. It's most likely why they are coming clean now.

Gazillionaire guys like him and Cameron hate guys trying to make innovative solutions to an engineering problem without spending $50 million bucks.

It seems like Oceangate has raised about 25 million to so far. This project wasn't quite that cheap. https://www.sec.gov/edgar/browse/?CIK=1559118

I'm all for low cost innovation but in this case it seems like these guys liked to cut corners. Like Tenpoundbass said, they should have had support ships monitoring the submersible with sonar. I'm also thinking of a black box device that would work independently of the vessel and send (close to) realtime status of the various onboard sensors.

According this article their previous model “showed signs of cyclic fatigue.” during testing. My guess is that they failed to do proper maintenance or that they overestimated the lifetime of some of the components.

Imploding subs make very distinctive and horrible sounds. Yes, they played out a 'rescue drama' for effect to swarm the headlines. MSM shuck 'n jive to cover up the real news. Misdirection again for the erstwhile Globalist magicians.

Everybody lies, including governments, but traditionally they do reserve sterling credibility for some issues and topics of importance.

Our government and the West through City of London, Vatican and Switzerland lie about everything and are so devoted to Satanic inversion worship and utter, dripping, unmasked, poisonous contempt and hatred of the People that the issue of credibility is entirely gone.

It will be the final test of the Illuminati horn books where every policy and action are based on deception, fraud and election fraud, blackmail, intimidation, coercion, terrorism, subversion, assassination, Hegelian bullshit, treachery, treason, mass murder, force, extraordinary preferential treatment of the elites and their lieutenants and international piracy.

I agree with the above, but I don't think Oceangate spent anything like the guy from Texas or Cameron did on the submersible.
I don't doubt Oceangate kept raising money however.
It's interesting that 46 people have gone down to the Titanic in the funky submersible.
I just keep thinking about the Space Shuttle fuckups but the players aren't infamous like Stockton is.

How millionaires should have fun

This guy seems to know what he's talking about. If he's right, then everyone knew about the popping sound and could have inferred the sub was gone.

On the other hand, I'm for letting people do whatever they want. If they want to spend a small fortune to risk death in the middle of the ocean, more power to them!

My theory about the failure is the connection between the carbon fiber hull and the titanium flange at each end was an epoxy which might have failed.
Epoxy is sometimes brittle and isn't as strong as thick titanium.
If I had constructed the submersible, I would have integrated the flange inside the carbon fiber hull.
Edit: I would have made the hull 10" thick.

If your assembly plans are written in tranny lipstick, be afraid, very afraid.

Tenpoundbass says

The Navy already suspected it was doomed and done for. But that stopped no one from using it to cover the criminal mischief of the Biden Regime in covering up their crimes.

I think you're exactly right about that. Makes a decent meme:

The verdict is in: CNN declares sub implosion was from Global Warming, and it's Trump's fault.

https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-us-navy-detected-titan-implosion-on-sunday-but-biden-admin-only-released-news-on-thursday-after-hunter-plea-deal-and-whistleblower-reports-released

That the information was not released sooner was believed by some to be a distraction from the ongoing Biden scandals surrounding bribery, FBI cover-ups, and Hunter Biden's influence peddling. It was revealed on Thursday by House GOP that Hunter Biden demanded money from China while Joe Biden was in the room with him, and told the Chinese contacts that his father was sitting there with him.

This was revealed by an IRS whistleblower who testified in the House just one day after Hunter Biden plead guilty to tax crimes as part of a plea deal. A further crime, of obtaining a firearm by lying on a background check form, appears likely to be dismissed pending conditions.

Human Events Jack Posobiec made that connection, saying that "The WSJ is reporting the US Navy detected the Titan implosion on Sunday but Biden held the news until today's whistleblower testimony on Hunter. The entire thing was a distraction op."

The Navy has had a long range detection system in place since the cold war started. It's not that secret if there is a wiki page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOSUS

I'm sure the system has been upgraded over the years.

Experts are saying dissimilar material is what causes failures. Like plastic portholes

20 yo women built it because woke dude hellbent on feminism and women empowerment wanted to prove a point. life proved him wrong… fatally wrong.

re: the acrylic dome port at the front.
I have a Russian dive watch Vistok Amphibia.
The crystal is slightly domed and made of acrylic.
It's designed to change shape under pressure and become more water resistant the deeper it goes.
It's a cool watch, as water resistant as a Rolex but it cost me just $75 bucks, not thousands.

I think that Stockton Rush made errors, but it might have been inevitable.

that is like I recall reading about the Space Shuttle how NASA expected catastrophic failure every 150 flights

i guess its just accepted and managed risk just like when you get in your car and drive on the roads :-/

.

My car was designed by guys with more of a clue than NASA.
The space vehicle should ride on top of the rocket, not next to it.

Remember, the space shuttle uses its own engines as well as those strap-on launch boosters, so it cannot just sit on top like an Apollo capsule.

The problem is that it was made from carbon fiber. Carbon Fibre won't deform at all really, but when it starts to deform, it shatters.

Titanium can deform, acrylic can deform..

Carbon Fiber is known for its tensile strength too, not its compression strength. I'm sort of surprised it made ONE trip.

First on NASA. It was launched the same time millions of dollars started disappearing from the government. It's a fucking front.

On the Titan, the whole story stinks like cooch of a $2 whore. The Titanic story stinks to start with, and now it's possible to investigate what at the time was thought to be beyond reach of investigation. Prominent powerful people died, lots of focus on it being ridiculously mis-managed. And I mean on a level that goes beyond farcical. Obvious timing of story creation and release to distract from the many, MANY crimes of the fake presidential family. Tie's in's with some of the biggest banking families in the world.

I have no idea what really happened, and It's going to be very hard to ever figure out with the death of the companies CEO, very convenient...

I don't think this story would even be barely covered if not for the fact that our media was desperate to distract the public about something. If it wasn't this, it would have been something else.

The problem that "the powers that be" are facing, is that after our media lied for 7 years about Russia gate, and then later this pandemic there are no gatekeepers. I KNOW the media is in freefall collapse. I almost think Twitter was a final straw for a lot of people. They lied to users and creators for years and this just didn't effect Twitter, but Youtube, Google, and Facebook. When Musk took over Twitter and within a week, all the Pedophiles were finally removed, and we found out the head of Twitter's Trust and Safety was a homosexual named Yoel Roth, who write a paper arguing that CHILDREN should have access to Grindr (which is a male homosexual hook up site) - I think that was a wakeup for a lot of people.

The carefully constructed edifice of lies, misdirection, deception, manipulation - its all coming apart.

The military is catching a load of flack for not coming out and saying, “implosion occurred, everyone go home”

Can you imagine they are mistaken and these explorers suffocate at the bottom of the ocean? Of course they weren’t going to make a massive sweeping conclusion like that so early even though they suspected that was the case.

Once the sub was found with evidence of implosion, the military can then conclude they have reasonable confidence it occurred at the following time and date.

I wouldn't call these poor souls "prominent and powerful". Some of them had some money to their names, that's it.

The US Navy doesn't want the entire world to know exactly how capable it is. This is prudent under the circumstances with assholes like Xi and Putin putting submarines in the water.

I saw a YouTube video where it was someone explaining that carbon fiber was a bad idea in the first place, then further explained how it was wound in one direction only, with no layers going across.

Except that as was already pointed out, the listening tech they used is old as fuck, and not secret at all...

An decomposed like one, too.

It's a bit interesting to me as a scuba diver with a lot of experience. I have some personal rules which mean I will likely survive an unexpected equipment problem (this has happened to me).

When scuba diving, you can dive within "no decompression (time) limits". This means if you surface within the time, you will not need to stop on the way up and "decompress" (actually degas N2) for any period of time.

I dive within no decompression limits because no matter what happens to me, I can safely head up to the surface and skip the decompression. If you needed to decompress (degas) and did not stop because of an emergency, you could get the "bends" decompression sickness, and could die or have a stroke, etc.

I dive to a maximum of about 85 feet or so; I can swim up holding my breath from that depth probably. I free dove once to 60 feet which is a 120 foot round trip.

I can ditch my weights from a weight belt quickly; they're not in pockets on my buoyancy vest.

I was offered to go diving in the caves and springs in Florida; I won't dive anywhere where I cannot swim up to be at the surface.

I will not swim into a shipwreck hatch or go deep inside a wreck; on the few wrecks I have dove, we swam around a place with a large opening on one side, large windows all around, etc. We would not get lost or stuck inside there.

I once dove under a frozen lake in a hole in the ice with a commercial diving type facemask helmet; I could not have removed this myself if I wanted to.
I will never dive again with such equipment. Fortunately, under the ice I was connected to the surface with hoses and ropes, I would never get lost.

I was thinking about the submersible and the contrast is pretty big; what if something went wrong, could the submersible even ditch its weights and float up to the surface?

I got my PADI cert when I was in the Azores in the 1990s. I did not get a chance to see shipwrecks, though. I take my hat off to you for that 60-foot free dive. I could do a free ascent (slow exhale) from that depth, but my ears could not take starting at the surface and sinking 60 feet without tanks.

NuttBoxer says

We don't know what the tech was other than the Navy heard an implosion.

We don't know the capabilities of a Virginia class sub or whatever they had deployed in that area like sonar buoys, an undersea microphone field, autonomous submersibles, etc.

So we don't know what the capabilities are, as all of that is likely classified.

.

Not supposed to hold your breath while swimming up! Or any time under water really. Must always blow bubbles.

It amazes me how many people on this forum do zero research and just spout opinion. Only time you'll ever see me quote NPR, but it's that fucking mainstream...

"The listening system the Navy used to register the noise is believed to be the Sound Surveillance System or SOSUS, according to information shared with NPR by a senior Navy official. SOSUS, an underwater cable system that has been in place for decades, is capable of detecting underwater anomalies that might indicate the presence of foreign submarines."

I suspect the submersible went from everything being fine to completely obliterated in a fraction of a second. When carbon fiber fails it basically shatters. You're not going to have a period of seconds or minutes where water is flooding in. I would think the surface boat would have immediately know that the thing was gone.
