The scenario most feared is that the vessel suffered a catastrophic failure. At such depth, a hull breach would be devastating. “If something’s gone wrong, there’s a good chance it’s gone very wrong,” said Williams. “If the pressure vessel has failed catastrophically, it’s like a small bomb going off. The potential is that all the safety devices might be destroyed in the process.”
Such a fate would probably trigger signals in military hydrophones that are deployed throughout the world’s oceans. When an Argentine submarine was lost in 2017, hydrophones off Ascension Island and the Crozet Islands detected an acoustic signal consistent with a catastrophic failure of the submarine. “Just knowing where the vessel is is a big consideration,” said Williams. “The best case scenario is that the vessel has popped up and can be found visually or with radar.”
So am I!Yes, I’ve been following the search on YouTube, terribly worrying for all involved..
Do you also think of the fate of the people inside?
Exactly...I’ve been following this Titan from the beginning of its disappearance.There was a news reporter that warned of the shoddiness of the vehicle. It had a Playstation controller to drive it and Camping World lighting inside it allegedly. It also failed on some dive attempts.
- Rescuers are in a race against time to find the Titan and save its passengers
- Forensic psychiatrist Sohom Das says passengers are likely clinging to hope that they could still be found, but soon the 'reality is going to seep in'
Later there will be a press conference about it.They have now found a debris field near the titanic...
I hate to sound insensitive but that was straight out of dumb and dumber and highly risky. It’s like the rich who want to be astronauts and travel in space paying millions to do it or the thrill seekers living on the edge risking their life. I guess I’m a bit indifferent and feel bad for their loved ones left behind in the aftermath.There was a news reporter that warned of the shoddiness of the vehicle. It had a Playstation controller to drive it and Camping World lighting inside it allegedly. It also failed on some dive attempts.
Yes, they are analysing the debris...they say the sub may have imploded.....should know something by this evening...so very sad...Later there will be a press conference about it.
