Am curious how long this has been there and whether perhaps the "banging" was not related whatsoever.

[-] WassupDoc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I really hope that the sub imploded during the descent, and they've been dead all this time. Rather than the hull giving out after they sat on the ocean floor for days.

[-] Hopps@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm feeling the same way, that would be a much better way to go.

[-] SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Much better since your brain wont realize the implosion is happening before you're dead. Although, for some reason the idea that my body is forever in the deep ocean is not a favorable one

[-] sorenant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Give or take a couple millions of years and the sea might become a plain or something.

Weirdly, I'd feel better about "parts of my body floating around" than "my body curled up in a capsule on the ocean floor".

It won't be. Circle of life, man.

the debris sites indicate the implosion happened relatively soon after descent because the debris had drifted very far away from the Titanic. If they had descended deeper, the implosion would have been closer.

I heard the banging sound happened at 30 minute intervals for a while, but also the banging sounds could've been from one of the many search boats that were searching near the acoustic bouy

[-] philz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I believe they confirmed in the press conference the bangs were not related due to where the debris was found.

They did.

The underwater banging noises that were picked up by the authorities earlier this week do not appear to have had any relation to the site of the submersible’s wreckage. “There doesn’t appear to be any connection between the noises and the location on the sea floor” where the debris was found, Mauger said. Previously, the Coast Guard had said that they repositioned their search efforts around where those noises were detected.

So if they weren't related, then what were they?

Extra noises of the all the search and rescue assets in the vicinity and the natural biases of the human operators to want to decipher patterns from the background noises = false positives. There's precedent for that:
