US coast guard confirmed it's wreckage from the Titan submersible and that additional debris is consistent with the catastrophic failure of the pressure chamber. Likely implosion.
The US Coast Guard confirmed the sub has imploded. One of their experts said the debris field is "consistent with implosion in the water column", meaning it probably happened right when they lost communication.

Reporters asking about recovering bodies proves they never learned much science.

Titan is equipped with a real-time acoustic monitoring system, which OceanGate claims can detect the onset of buckling in the carbon fiber hull prior to catastrophic failure.

Last sounds: "WARNING hull"

The company lawyer who was going on the trip but got side tracked.

Leave business alone, no regs, blah, blah until it is time to socialize a loss.

TIL: The US Navy used Xbox 360 controllers to operate the periscopes on submarines based on feedback from junior officers and sailors; the previous controls for the periscope were clunky and real heavy and cost about $38,000 compared to the Xbox 360 controller’s cost of around $20.

Some time into the future ...

All was fine until China unleashed it's AI which took over the navy controllers which were built in China.

Reading of reports and comments about the pressure at the depth, they would of been lucking to hear "W..."

I could notice some slight changes. Of course once it passes the threshold and breaks, micro seconds. Too fast for the brain to detect.

Funny, the first thing was the Navy capturing sound. I bet the navy really did not want to disclose the high level of sound recognition.

I think lots of people figured implosion was the likely cause.
