The thing that gets me in all this - We have all these remote controlled, unmanned robotic subs with HD cameras and everything esle. This little mini-sub has 1 tiny window and a couple of monitors for outside cameras. What is gained by sending people down there? Other then just bragging rights...

Sounds like it was more or less an instant implosion. They would have been crushed instantly. Horrible but at least without any suffering or agony.

The debris is consistent with a “catastrophic implosion” of the vessel, Rear Adm. John Mauger, the First Coast Guard District commander announced. Mauger made the remarks after he was asked about the prospects of recovering crew members of the Titan. “This is an incredibly unforgiving...

Coast Guard is holding a briefing at 3:00.

Missing Titanic submersible live updates: 'Debris field' found in search zone https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/06/22/missing-titanic-tourist-submarine-search-live-updates/70345468007/

The pressure under 13000 ft of water is like 400x that of atmospheric pressure. Over 5000 psi. If it collapsed, it would have been instant. Does not explain the banging sound. Of course, that could be something completely unrelated.

Agreed - Putin will not pull out on his own, as that means admitting defeat, and will lead to him being overthrown for starting this whole mess. He will ride this out until the bitter end, with the hope that the west support for Ukraine will wane over time. This seems to be turning into a WW I...

I think so. It's most likely at the bottom of the ocean somewhere. And will be even harder to find then the Titanic (And that took like 10 years to find.) I don't think there is much hope to rescue these people alive. Miracles do happen, but chances are extremely thin at this point. This will...

This counteroffensive so far has only yielded marginal gains by Ukraine. Hopefully they will be able to break through the Russian lines at some point.

LOL - prediction of a poll. It really is the dead period.

That's for divers. Being in an enclosed sub that is more or less atmospheric pressure, that should not be an issue. Unless the hull is breached, but in that case they are toast anyway. I agree.

Which button on the X-box controller releases the ballast?

Sounds like banging is every 30 minutes. Like they are trying to signal from inside the sub. Still a long shot to find them. And if they did, it sounds like there is no equipment available to go to the depths to retrieve it.

Yeah does not look good. They have abouyt 3 days of oxygen, and went down on Sunday.

Will be good to get him out of that uringe...

I take that to mean getting rid of the 'pee wall' so fans won't have their shoes, toes and sandals misted over with urine while using the bathroom.

Doesn’t really make sense for Ukraine to blow up their infrastructure. And as this supplies water to crimea, does Russia reazile the jig is up, and are doing a scrotched earth retreat? Who knows? So many questions.
