WSJ News Exclusive | U.S. Navy Heard What It Believed Was Titan Implosion Days Ago

Underwater microphones designed to detect enemy submarines first heard the suspected implosion just hours after the submersible began its voyage.

They knew but everyone just played along because it was good for business to have the story taking up oxygen.

Hopefully those inside never knew what hit them and died quickly. Sending this vehicle under that much water before testing it was the height of idiocy. It should have been stress tested unmanned several times before attempting to send human beings in it. What a shame it is for these ultra rich adventurers seeking thrills. Via Con Dios….

Tell me if I'm wrong, but seems I read from others that had gone down in the propane tank before?
Read one guy I think said he'd been down like four times in it and they always lost communications on way down for awhile every time?

Not sure Dawg. I’m sure that we will hear a lot more about this tragedy in the next couple weeks.

What's painfully ironic about their deaths is they could and should have been prevented.

The maker of the lost Titan submersible previously complained about strict passenger-vessel regulations, saying the industry was 'obscenely safe'

In a 2019 interview about the Titan, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush lamented the effect of safety regulations on the commercial submersible industry.

I think that this is the case.
 
Somewhere and sometime along the descent they could have been attacked by very large sea creatures. In June, these northern cooler waters are inhabited by blue whales (largest animal that has ever lived on earth), fin whales (almost as large), sperm whales, giant squid, or orcas, all weighing tons. Just the tongue of a blue whale weighs about the same as an elephant.

These massive beasts could have knocked this relatively small craft to pieces, just by bumping into it, if not attempting to prey upon it for a meal.

The number of hazards of descending to extreme depths in the ocean is enormous. Hopefully, there aren't more people with the dumb idea of doing something like this. If there are, I would say to them > don't even think about it.

I haven't heard that a moby dick type whale possibly attacked them, it was grey and white and shaped like a fish.
 
wow I did not know this - so how much food do they eat a day to maintain that body mass ?

Elephants generally weigh between 4,500 and 11,000 pounds on average. How large an elephant gets depends on which of the three elephant species it is. However, the largest elephant on record weighed 24,000 pounds (more on this below!), so in very rare cases they can weigh truly extraordinary weights!

The tongue of a blue whale is estimated to weigh around 2.7 tons. Blue whales are the largest animals ever known to have existed, growing up to 33 meters in length and weighing more than 180 metric tons1. The tongue of a blue whale is large out of all proportion to its use3.

i dunno. did the US navy know about the fly by night mini-sub departure from a civilian port in canada in the first place?

I'm pleased to hear that our underwater listening gear works so well. but i doubt if the us navy immediately identified the "bang" as a toy submarine imploding. there are a lot of sounds to sift through already - humpback whale sounds, supertanker propellers, russian subs trying to sneak up. rusty sunken junk banging around on the bottom.

the US navy's obligation, once it knows anything, is to direct rescuers to the spot. not announce "your friends and relatives are already dead". suppose they weren't dead? imagine the outrage.

Reminds me of when Joe Biden expressed condolence to the Irish? president, for the death of his wife. Trouble was, she was very much alive at the time.

No outrage. The whole world has come to expect stuff like this from Joe Biden. :rolleyes:

The Navy system was called SOSUS when I was in the service. I'm not sure that it is the same system as back then...but one reason to avoid any kind of news about the system is to keep the Russians from knowing much about it.

That makes ZERO sense. If that was the case why would they say a word about it now? They waited until the oxygen would have run out and then blasted this news right out. It doesn't keep anything secret - it just prlonged interest and false hope.

…or the Chinese - who are the actual biggest threat. Swishy-lefty just never leads with red China, because he LOVES him some communism.

Russia is an enemy. China is a far worse, far more formidable enemy.
