welshbairn Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 There has been hints that the families were shared enough info to reduce their expectations of survival, and to not take too much notice of the media hype. They obviously wanted to be careful about publicly revealing capabilities in that regard, and they likely couldn't be sure that the submersible wasn't intact so wanted the search to continue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 One upside of this is the new slew of theories about "what's under the oceon" making noises. Every time anyone ever listens to the ocean underwater theres sounds, nobody can explain them and all sorts of monsters get blamed, then they discover it was just the sound of waves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I don't think any of the videos doing the rounds of railway tankers imploding really convey what a sudden and violent act the implosion would've been.

GordonD Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 QI repeat on Dave tonight had a round about a really crappy British submarine from the First World War. Then later on they got the contestants to karate chop a length of wood, with a big sheet of paper holding the other end down because of air pressure.
