  1. Yep. Probably not research. If one of these tourists takes a picture of a dinner plate never photographed before, what's the point? We already know what a dinner plate looks like after sitting at the bottom of the ocean for 110 years. This isn't research, just picture taking.

  2. The crew on the ship might have initially thought there was a communication failure. Then they hoped the Titan would pop up to the surface on time, or close to it. Gradually concern then panic, and then after all that they reported the missing sub that got U.S. and Canadian forces finally involved. Whatever the timeline, it didn't matter. The people on the sub were pulverized instantly.

  3. Well, for tourists excursions the design of the submersible should have used proven technology, even going back to the 1960's. Instead they built something using materials the people who have had experience for decades questioned. The deceased CEO, and company culture, probably thought this was the big-bad government and its overregulating, along with them having an attitude that they know better. They didn't.

  4. Tourism like this is probably dead. Real research, like remote control submersibles, will continue.

  5. If they ended up being stuck at the bottom of the ocean, at this point, I would have more of a chance of winning the lottery than they being rescued. There's no time left for all the discussed reasons. It probably will be eventually found. Whether it's a month from now or a year from now. At that point, when the submersible is retrieved and reeled back onto the surface, the opening up of it will be a gruesome time capsule. It's the remains of five bodies that have been dead for a while. If water didn't get inside, then it's finding notes and messages left on cellphones saying their goodbyes. Even videos of themselves contemplating the end. Depressing.

  7. The people were probably pulverized. Think about putting bodies in a giant food processor.

  8. Yes, it's a "I told you so," but the person who would have said that to is now fish food.

  9. I think it imploded on the way down. The hull failed with the crew never knowing what hit them.

  10. I don't think it imploded from hitting the bottom hard. It appears to be a wide debris field. If it exploded like a bomb when it hit bottom, that would explain a large debris field, but unless the oxygen tanks, and the like, ruptured when it hit bottom, it would be an implosion somewhere higher up with the debris then raining down.
