here is a live US coast guard briefing to media on the debris field. He is answering media questions now, so you may want to rewind a bit for his opening statement

YouTube Live

"The debris are consistent with a catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber."

Gotta love some of these media questions even though they said the sub catastrophically imploded.

"What are the prospects of recovering the bodies?"

"Is there any suggestion it collided with the wreckage of the Titanic?"

They would have found a few pieces or maybe a debris field since it was pretty deep when it popped.

There's 0% chance this thing was in any way in tact. It definitely got blown to bits.

I agree, if the debris field is very organized

the shears of the currents would randomly spread it out.

So what was the banging noises then?


Given all the resources heading that way, simply could've been a chain or something banging against a hull. Could be anything really. Press conference just said wasn't related.

I love them asking if they're going to try and recover the bodies

From Sky News:
quote:

An undersea expert says five different major pieces of debris were found that signalled that it was the remains of the sub.

They said the initial debris found was the nose cone outside the pressure hull and then they found a larger debris field and within that - the front end of the pressure hull was found.

They said this was the first indication that there was a "catastrophic event".

Then they found a "second smaller debris field" which is where the other end of the pressure hull was found.

They said: "We continue to map the debris field and we will do the best we can to fully map what's down there".

Stockton Rush was worth about $12M. So yeah, not a billionaire.

According to google.

The skeptic in me says the US Navy knew this vessel was lost on Sunday. The SOSOS NET would have certainly heard the acoustic anomoly produced by the implosion, add to the fact that the new ROV used went directly to the area of the debris field.

Based off what was said by the coast guard it sounds like the sub imploded near the sea floor. These guys were shitting their pants for an hour to two hours before they died

How? How in the cornbread frick do people like this get so wealthy? Who the frick gives them the money?

The guy was certainly charismatic and ballsy, but he was also quite dumb.

US holdings. If I’m the IRS I’d have clamped onto this by Monday afternoon. Haha!

Agree. If they did they couldn't say anything due to classification. One thing to detect a Russian Boomer at 800 feet on known routes and completely another for something like this at this depth way out there.
