Remains of Titanic submersible victims returned as 'slush'

“We didn’t get the bodies for nine months,” she adds. “Well, when I say bodies, I mean the slush that was left. They came in two small boxes, like shoeboxes.” The slush, as she calls it, are the remains that were recovered from the sea bed and meticulously separated and DNA tested by the US Coast Guard. “There wasn’t much they could find,” she says. “They have a big pile they can’t separate, all mixed DNA, and they asked if I wanted some of that, too. But I said no, just what you know is Suleman and Shahzada.”

Pressure is amazing.

If I were as rich as that guy, I would have paid whatever he paid to not go down in that "submersible."

Did they recover the controller?

The only positive in it is that they assumedly felt absolutely nothing and have no idea what happened to them since that shite is so instantaneous.

In a fraction of a second, the contents of the pressure hull were compressed to something like the size of a basketball. They likely had no impression or no more than the briefest of notions of what was happening.

This seems wasteful and pointless
Just have a tombstone with an empty grave for the service

We were supposed to get just the ashes of our beloved Chihuahua, Chloe.
Pretty sure the company just throws the incinerated remains of the other cats and dogs, too.
Got the pretty little box and "paw print" in the sale.
Pretty sure that's not my dogs' pawprint, either.

I'm just shocked they had something to recover.

I believe that they knew shite was going sideways based on their actions and dumping of the ballast. So they were terrified for sure and I'm guessing they heard a bunch of those cracking sounds (that you could hear in the documentary), but I also heard that the time it took for them to be killed was faster than the brains ability to either feel pain or comprehend what was happening.

Which is basically just incinerated bone, all the other soft tissue is just dissolved to nothing.

No chance in hell would I get in this thing and dive that deep... 4 hours just getting down and coming back up. Frick that...

i thought it was determined that they were dropping weights just to slow their descent as they approached the seabed

A couple of months ago, I watched a few episodes in a row on the guy who has gone to the deepest part of each ocean. Maybe it was pumped up for TV, but nearly every one of those dives ended in a disaster. And that was an extremely professional operation. These Oceangate dudes were "spam in a can" as they said in The Right Stuff.

say what you will about his hubris and their lack of caution, they did successfully design and build a submersible that was capable and did in fact make several trips to the Titanic wreck. those dudes werent stupid, they were just stupid.
