#4 /\ But it was the lead shielded system, not the one used in the US Embassy Havana.

#6 The Logitech controller was Bluetooth.

They say the vessel because of the intense pressure - it popped like a balloon and they died instantly.

#7 ...Look up the acoustic detection analysis on the ARA San Juan, and Argentine sub that went down a few years ago. San Juan was actually higher than Titan, and the analysts state that the water entering the hull did so as an essentially solid force at 'about 1800 MPH'. The pressure hull was 'destroyed/compacted' in 'about 40 milliseconds'(0.040 seconds, or about 1/25th of a second)' which is about half the time needed for the human brain to recognize what is happening.

They might have known what was coming, but they didn't feel it when it did.

#10 The Biden administration knew the Titan submarine imploded Sunday. But waited until today to make it public. Convenient smokescreen for today’s House Ways & Means release of IRS whistleblower testimony of DOJ sabotage of the Hunter Biden investigation. https://t.co/RtRcCihIZT

#11 Direct proof of how ignorant today's generation of western business brass are. In the old school, you NEVER put a system into a catastrophic situation without first being well tested.

#12 In the old school, you NEVER put a system into a catastrophic situation without first being well tested.

Ah yes, the old school. Those 50-year-old white dudes that nobody wants to hire because they are always telling you that your genius plan will not work for stupid reasons like thermodynamics or physics or something.

As we learn more about the incident, it sounds like the sub lacked some basic safety features like a pinger, emergency buoy, external lights, a hatch that opened from the inside.

From the HR perspective, engineers are fungible, one is as good as another with the only difference being salary and bennies. On the job, the difference is that the old dude has a few decades of mistake-making and OJT that the newbie lacks. Kinda makes me wonder if the catastrophic failures we see lately - imploding subs, stylish bridges falling down, electric grids collapsing - are a result of the new kids on the job.

I would totally go down in a home-made submarine to look at the Titanic thru a little port hole. But I'd lower the sub on a rope first a couple three times first to make sure it won't implode.
