Anything happening at that depth, is gonna give most submariners the eebie jeebies.Jesse Waters just interviewed another sub captain who has been to the Titanic. He was graceful, but not at all positive on the outcome of this

He mentions sonobuoys. They're not side-scan sonar, they can't map the ocean floor, but they are very good hydrophones and I wonder if they've dropped a few just to listen for mechanical transients. Like, the clanking and clunking of lead ballast pipes being dislodged by a mechanical backup system? 4,000 yards is considered very close range for nuclear submarine hydrophones, and 4,000 yards down is the same density of water as 4,000 yards away.Submersible scientist fears OceanGate may have suffered catastrophic implosion: 'Deeply worrisome'

Remember this scene from The Abyss? First thing I thought of when I heard about the missing submersible. At least the end would be painless (not counting any warning the occupants might get). Hopefully they surface or are recovered alive and well but it doesn’t look promising. If found intact on the ocean floor is any form of recovery even possible?
Not easy to watch, even if it’s Hollywood-fake (as I’m sure we’ll find out… @actaeon277 please pick up the red courtesy phone…
Wouldn’t the thermocline make it pretty difficult to detect anything from above?
That, and a healthy helping of nitrogen narcosis. All in the script.Eh, easy to watch because he was a real **** in the film.

Good stuff:Since my firefox browser seems to be rebooting every time I try to copy/paste, do a search for SOSUS
I was OK when Doc Holiday took him out too.Eh, easy to watch because he was a real **** in the film.
Supposedly it had a structural monitoring system. And there were possible problems with the hull several weeks ago...No.
There would have been no warning of a cracking plastic lens.
There would have been no caress of a gentle trickle spray of water.
As soon as that crack happened, the water would have come through that spot.
All of the water.
In an instant.
When the Thresher sank, it was determined from Navy hydrophone networks that the entire submarine (much larger than this one) was entirely filled with water in tenths of a second.
And it wasn't even close to this depth.
It burst in through whatever weak point there was, so that the entire sub did not implode.
Dang... you went there!Did anyone on the sub have ties to the Clintons?
