I believe it was a US Navy doctor that described what that event would be like. "In that type implosion the hull sides are traveling inwards at a speed of 1500 mph, the air / oxygen in the cylinder is compressed and super heated to thousands of degrees and explodes and any combustible objects...

Not photos ... actual relics he obtained from the wreckage.

By law ... I meant engineering certification requirements for subs carrying paying passengers. James Cameron is part owner of a company that builds submarines for tour groups and submersibles for research ... and they are built to specs and certified. Cameron has visited the Titanic 33 times...

The sub was at 3500 meters when it imploded. According to another recent comment they had apparently initiated dropping lead weights in an attempt to stop the descent and commence the ascent to the surface. Reportedly an early warning system had been triggered that indicated there was an issue...

Cameron commented on this and Cameron is part owner of a company that builds and operates submarines for the tour industry and submersibles for research. "The submersible community is a small and close knit community. We build submersibles with hulls made from steel and titanium. The Titan hull...

Found specific parts of the submersible ... rear cover and landing skid. Catastrophic implosion was the cause given. How about that ... a submersible that was not certified by any engineering body ... failed. The CEO declined to have the sub tested according to a set of engineering standards as...

One article I just read stated "the Titanic resting area is littered with thousands of articles that are the size of the missing sub and just determining which item on the ocean floor might be the sub will be a major task that will take a lot of time". One engineer stated "there are 10...

Right now the USN has robot salvage vehicles and crews en route to the site to assist / attempt to rescue the sub and passengers ... or it might be a salvage operation.

The US Navy apparently has a few distinct underwater salvage robot vehicles that have salvaged helicopters and small vessels from as deep as 19,000 feet. The USN has a couple of different crews with that type equipment in transit to the site. Hope they make it in time so it is a rescue and not...

Yeah, I mean, who would want people that were experienced in the design and operation of ocean going submarines to be involved with ... an experimental submarine project. They might know too much about reality / risk and object to even attempting using an untested sub ... while the young...

How do they get them? Mechanical malfunction of the small sub ... it is on the ocean floor at 12,500 feet depth. Naval subs can go to 1000 feet max. Would need a drone capable of attaching a retrieving cable to the sub ... and that is almost 3 miles of cable.

12,500 feet deep? What could possibly go wrong. Bat **** crazy. We sailed from Ct. to Bermuda on a 37' Ketch. At one point some 3 days out I was navigating and looked at the chart (we had no electronics ... chart and sextant) ... 18,000 feet deep. We dropped the sails and threw lines over board...
