It was far more likely that the sub suffered a catastrophic implosion at the time contact was lost. Glad to see it confirmed, and finally people stop posting the nonsense about air.
Shame about the passengers though.
What can we learn from this? Don't go in pressure vessels; don't go in confined spaces.
The outcome everyone knew would happen. I don't understand the desire to go to that depth to see a sunken ship when I presume there is camera footage of it available. You can't get out and do anything, your view is probably pretty crappy given the thickness of any see through material. I see the allure with Everest and the view for your 60 seconds at the top must be impressive and it is a physical feat. But a sunken…
Not sure if this is sarcasm...
- No noises were heard during rescue operation (the implosion likely happened around the time the communication was lost, as opposed to in the days following)
- The "banging" noises discussed earlier were unrelated to the submersible.
No idea why every single journalist kept forcing the "air remaining" theme. It was far more likely that the sub suffered a catastrophic implosion at the time contact was lost. Glad to see it confirmed, and finally people stop posting the nonsense about air. Shame about the passengers though.

Just because the CEO is on the firing line with you, doesn't make him right, just overly confident.
DO hire "50 year old" people with experience, not just kids from university.
Don't build your pressure vessel out of materials which are hard to monitor for wear and fatigue.
Listen to your experienced employees when they tell you that you've built a death-trap.
If you have $250,000 to spend on a short vacation, maybe pick one with better odds of getting home.
and finally...
...The media will always stretch out the agony of these stories for as long as it generates clicks.
In a weird way, this is almost relieving. The speculation that they were suffocated and entombed in their own filth somewhere on the ocean as they died slowly seemed so, so much worse.

Hopefully this is the last time anyone tries to make a negative pressure vessel out of carbon fiber.

To keep viewers engaged in the search I'd imagine
