Sunday morning I think around 7 or 8.

We don't even know if this is true. Could be made up

The theater around this when basically they knew instantly is ridiculous. You also can’t tell me that they didn’t see a ton of bubbles from the air tanks and sub or something coming to the surface a few minutes after. At that point they would’ve known.
I’m convinced that conspiracy idiots have almost no idea about how the real world works. Good fricking lord.

I agree that post was stupid but don't be a sheep

Didn't know Lochridge was fired this fast.
After the inspection report was issued OceanGate called a meeting. Lochridge “discovered why he had been denied access to the viewport information from the Engineering department – the viewport at the forward of the submersible was only built to a certified pressure of 1,300 meters, although OceanGate intended to take passengers down to depths of 4,000 meters,” his claim says.
Lochridge learned that the viewport manufacturer “would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters due to the experimental design of the viewport supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy standards,” the documents say.
"OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters,” they say.
According to the counterclaim, “the paying passengers would not be aware, and would not be informed, of this experimental design, the lack of non-destructive testing of the hull, or that hazardous flammable materials were being used within the submersible.”
Lochridge urged OceanGate to certify the Titan through a classification agency. Instead, OceanGate immediately fired Lochridge and gave him 10 minutes to “immediately clear out his desk and exit the premises,” the counter claim says.

Man I just watched a video for the first time of this thing. Why in the frickin world would you get in that hunk of garbage? You can't even stand up.

Is the time of the implosion known?
There’s a seismographic tape from Newfoundland that was posted a day or so in this thread that might give you the exact time. Seems that the implosion may have been picked up by several monitors. Of course there was no confirmation of total loss until they found parts.

sub that size able to breach line Red October without killing everyone on board?
Two completely different ballast systems.
Military subs take in sea water and hold it in ballast tanks to make them less buoyant/submerge and pump it out to gain buoyancy and rise. What you see in Red October is an "emergency blow" where compressed air is used to empty the ballast tanks immediately and the boat shoots to the surface.
These little submersibles typically carry weights that they can drop to increase buoyancy, but nothing that comes close to an emergency blow ascent, because they aren't displacing large amounts of non or neutral buoyant water with equally large amounts of highly buoyant air.

Jesus Badger. The ocean is huge and the submersible was small. Exactly how much bubbling could be seen from an event that probably was thousands of feet below the surface?
There re some really stupid posts in this thread.

About time for this thread to get moved to the Poli Board
Haven’t had anything to add here but have kept up with this thread the last few days and I appreciate the people providing insight hours/days ahead of the news

They wouldn’t have seen anything. I would wonder if the ship heard it? An underwater SUS sounds like a hammer hitting the hull.

Naturally in your eagerness to try to prove your mental superiority, you jumped straight to when The implosion happened.
For the record, Gasman was the sole person in this thread who provided evidence of an implosion. Many others speculated as much, but GM brought the goods.

I had a sense of relief when they announced finding debris, knowing they didn't suffer a slow death.

Truth. Gasman was telling us Monday afternoon exactly what happened and linked the reading from the station monitor.

The film director and deep sea expert, who has made over 30 dives down to the Titanic wreckage, said he was told on Monday that the noise of a likely implosion of the sub had been registered by underwater acoustic devices.

'I tracked down some intel that was probably of a military origin, although it could have been research - because there are hydrophones all over the Atlantic - and got confirmation that there was loud noise consistent with an implosion,' he told CNN.
