I'm not a lawyer, but lawyers Ive talked to decades ago have said those waivers/memos aren't worth the paper they're written on. Oceangate will get sued; count on it.

You know, on reflection…maybe we’re being a bit too thick skinned…

If that's the case, at least they died quickly. You may not like the people in that sub, but I wouldn't wish suffocation on anybody.

It isn’t that I don’t like them. It’s that I don’t care about them at all.

Most likely that pressure only lasted a second...

Live update from CG: 3pm ET
The vessel imploded and they found debris of the pressure chamber

I feel bad for the 19 yr old
Went along with dad and died for the adventure.

I suspect that when they lost contact with it, 1 hour and 45 minutes into the dive on Sunday, is probably when it imploded. Of course, the "news" has to sensationalize it. "A Catastrophic Implosion". As if there are varying degrees of implosion? An implosion and explosion, by definition, are catastrophic. Twits.

So, arrogance, ignorance, and stupidity sunk the Titanic. Arrogance, ignorance and stupidity imploded the Oceangate Titan sub in front of the Titanic. Irony writ large.

Agreed. As much as this was most likely avoidable with proper safety measures and precautions we need to stop and think that 5 people lost their lives.
The only conciliation is it was an instant death and most likely painless.
A very tragic event.

US Navy detected Titan sub implosion with top secret acoustic system day vessel went missing
The U.S. Navy said Thursday it detected sounds consistent with an implosion or explosion in the vicinity where the Titan submersible went missing.

I either read or heard on TV sometime late last night I think (don't think it was dreaming), that if in fact implosion was the end result, it would take about 2-4 nano seconds. Now I can't vouch for that, but I do know a nano second is a mighty short period of time. It was also said that at the estimated depth they were at when the 1 hr 45 min loss of all comms occurred, the pressure would have been about 4000psi on the vessel. I haven't taken the time nor effort to double check these numbers, just sayin'.... those are some serious numbers!

Yeah, when I said a second it was just basically a figure of speech indicating a very short time. In actual time it happens so fast they were unlikely to have ever realized it was happening. If there were no other issues other than a pressure breech they may have never known a thing other than they were getting close to Titanic.
