I read several reports that said if there had been an instantaneous implosion, it would have been picked up by lots of different sensors, and we would have known about it days ago.

If they had a power cut after 1hr 45 minutes, thats when a recuse misson should of started. They should of had various safety measures that should of being in place and back up plans.

It seems that loss of comms was a regular feature on previous dives, so probably considered it just a routine failure.

Its a tiny submersible so any implosion would only generate a relatively small acoustic event.

I had my doubts. But when several "experts" say the same thing, what can you do

I haven't seen an article which suggests that US coast guard are dragging their heels and that heel dragging was due to bureaucracy, no. Or anything about red tape costing lives.

At least they wouldn’t have even known much about it. Better than a long, drawn out death with no hope of rescue I suppose.

Well they all died when communication was lost in Saturday

The sub imploded due to pressure

Debris on the sea floor confirms it

Ok, but who was banging SOS signals?

OceanGate adviser claims US government is holding up rescue for missing Titanic sub

David Concannon, who had a lucky escape when he pulled out of the adventure at the last minute, says critical equipment is ready to be sent from the Guernsey Channel Islands but is being held up by a lack of urgency from US officials

Carbon fibre failure ??

No rescue mission whilst they were still alive is pointless

No, it is, and was, pointless.

So nothing to do with or involving the coast guard. Thought as much.

The article mentions no 'red tape' either. What the article does suggest, is that the equipment is checked before being dispatched. I'm guessing the last thing they need right now is even more failures at depth. Pity the explorers didn't follow that mantra. Even diving a few metres is dangerous.

Standard diving stuff. Nothing to see.

Whilst there is hope, eh?

They were never going to get anywhere near that tub in time, everyone knew. My first post on the first page of the thread....

It'll take days, even once the sub is located.

Body retrieval.

According to the news. The implosion was detected soon after comms failed. I guess they didn’t want to reveal the accuracy of the kit that detected it. This may have been why offers of extra help were stood down.
