Somebody on another board made a comment about all the false signals and noises and crap from the MH370 hunt.
Sadly my guess about the titanium end caps being the most identifiable remains was right, plus that big tail fairing. Not sure on the actual size of the sub debris field but it sounding spread out is consistent with failing at 9000ish feet.
Nothing fails slow at that depth. It went instantaneous. My morbid engineer brain is interested in seeing images of the pressure hull remains, I wonder if there are clues there. Like an intact viewport? I know it was a big focus item, but my suspicion is still a material failure in the carbon fiber or the interfacing.
Was it?I’m assuming this was the maiden voyage. Can’t recall seeing that stated. Another ironic point of this story.
No, but close. They took it out last year and had a bunch of problems. I think it only completed a couple of dives to 12000.I’m assuming this was the maiden voyage. Can’t recall seeing that stated. Another ironic point of this story.

No. This was its third trip.Was it?
Thanks, that's what I thought. I was thinking the previous trips stressed it and inspection was lacking.No. This was its third trip.
Titan passengers share eerie accounts of safety issues on the submersible's past expeditions

The following is a tedious and largely unimportant point: Water does compress, but not very much. One of the introductory physics problems is calculating the pressure at x depth when water has a density of rho(x) away from the surface. For the purposes of running a bass boat on the lake or a pump down 30', water is effectively incompressible. From sea level to deep sea? Totally different scenario.Air increases in temperature when compressed. The air in the pressure vessel compressed to 1/375th its previous volume and increased in temperature to...a lot.
But, humans are mostly water, and water isn't compressible, so...? I honestly don't know. There's no precedent for this.

If they weren't, what are the odds that they beat the Oceangate CEO to death with a PS5 controller before the air ran out?I imagine that they were dead before they even realized that something was wrong. At least, I hope that is what happened. I don't imagine the event spanned more than a few hundredths of a second.
I mean…he’s not completely wrong. The tricky part is where that line is.
