LIVE UPDATES
Titanic submersible suffered ‘catastrophic loss’ of pressure, killing all aboard, Coast Guard says
The Titanic submersible that’s been missing for days suffered a catastrophic loss of pressure that imploded the vessel, killing all five passengers onboard, the Coast Guard said Thursday.
Coast Guard Rear Adm. John Mauger said a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) had discovered a portion of the Titan roughly 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic wreck on the sea floor.

Re: Missing Titanic Sub
Looks like they died a couple of day ago when contact was first lost. Comforting, hopefully, that it appeared to be instantaneous and not suffocation.

Re: Missing Titanic Sub
Some sources are saying that they heard signs of an implosion straight after communications were lost. So sort of knew the fate of the sub from the very beginning.
I guess it is a better way to go than sitting there waiting for the oxygen to run out.
I hope they can rest in peace and my thoughts go out to their families.

I read a post on Reddit a couple of days ago - before the debris was found - that said because of the time it lost communication it would be highly likely to have imploded as it would be around the time it reached the requisite depth for that to occur.
They mentioned both the sub and the parent ship would have had telemetry that monitors such things and the fact there was no communication publically about this data until the point they lost contact - that they didn't say the hull seemed fine - was a clue.
It looks like this was the assumption of every expert in deep-sea exploration as well. The timing of the loss of contact seems to have tipped them all off that this thing was already gone but so long as they were only 99% sure the rescue operation would continue until they reached that extra 1% certainity.

At least they would not have suffered as death would have been instantaneous.

I think it's the knowing for however many hours that it's going to happen that's the hard part.

I think the high CO2 scenario is preferable and would probably have happened first although I wouldn't wish any of the choices on anyone.

Nope. There will be no bodies to recover.

In fairness to Pierre, that was post 7 and we know much more now than we did then.

Re: Missing Titanic Sub
Bluntly: implosion in 1 millisecond results in all five of them being reduced to human jelly. Mercifully the human brain would require at least another 25 milliseconds for them to have been aware of it in any way at all. Genuinely instantaneous. Immediately after that, the sudden and extreme compression of the sub’s atmosphere results in ignition and explosion, cremating the human remains along with the Xbox controller and anything else flammable on board.
They will in time recover the metal parts of the sub from the sea bed, I’m sure. But they will not be bringing back any trace of the five men on board.

Re: Missing Titanic Sub
Sad, but the migrants off that drowned off the coast of the Canary Islands on Wednesday , will have had a worse death. Sod all coverage of that, as they weren't billionaires. Just desperate poor people.
