The ballast is dropped by either rocking the sub (lmao) or pressing a mechanical button. The ballast is supposed to deteriorated after 24 hours and raise the ship, but it obviously hasn't, so they probably died once the ship stopped sending telecommunication, or shortly before.

My guess is that 7" thick 80lb acrylic window finally popped an hour to hour and a half in (it's supposed to have a visual crackle effect when it is about to fail, for whatever good that does), which sounds like it happened about maybe 1800m down based on people saying it was halfway down when they lost contact, when the window was rated for 1300m. Mfg often reduce the rating to cover their asses so that's probably when the viewport popped.

Fun thing, at that depth, the pressure is equivalent to 250 atmospheres. Historically, on an oil rig when this happened, the pressure inside was 9 atmospheres, and they were on the surface. They didn't seal the diving bell correctly on the Byford Dolphin and the guy nearest the door became literally gristle as he got forcefully ejected, his organs spewing everywhere. The three other crewmen boiled from the inside and one person got smashed by the ejected diving bell, and another got seriously hurt by the bell. This was in 1983.

My guess, is the glass popped and they either drowned and it fell vertically into the mud somewhere rather quickly, making the object even smaller to find on sonar, or, the pressure caused the bodies to eject out of the viewport like a unkinked hose, spewing gore and causing the ship to travel a distance away from the titanic in the opposite direction of the viewport, making it harder to find because it's a larger surface area to search. I think the ship probably would be intact in either situation.

Another goon completely failing to understand the pressure in this case is the other way round

The pressure is on the outside trying to get in.

I have no idea what is going on with that guy. I assumed it was the failson twitter. The only thing I know about him is he was horny on main and also went to a blink 182 concert. I didn't know he imploded and did the N Word. I recant my statement

Here is the full saga of the failson Brian Szasz. Pull up a chair.

In the pre-sub days he threatened to shoot up a concert because the singers he had parasocial obsessions with wouldn't DM him back on twitter. He was arrested and sent to prison for stalking. He spent 2 years and seems to have gotten out early, unbeknownst to his victim. Also it seems he has no relationship with Harding - allegedly no photos of them together exist and his biological father was the only family present at the trial.

In the early sub days he informed the world that he was attending a blink 182 concert while his step-father became a bunch of soup. He also implied he was an audio engineer for them but I think that turned out to be bullshit? Then he asked an onlyfans model to sit on his face. The absurdity of this led to the afore mentioned victim learning about the early release and sharing her story.

Cardi B signal boosted the victim's story, so Brian Szasz responded by trying to start a beef with Cardi B. More and more people started calling Szasz a creep. He replied to one person of African descent using the n-word (soft r) then tried to insist he had an n-word pass. Then either he deleted twitter or was banned. We're not sure.

A little while later he posted a video on Facebook singing a blink 182 song.

That's the story. So far.

I was just thinking that while they're primarily looking for a dumb tube or dumb tube pieces, how much of their search is deliberately looking for a large group of isopods or crabs or similar?

Some large metal parts would survive almost intact, but the passengers would be pink slime and the carbon fiber would probably be shredded.

We found a sort of half dome titanium dome thing, we are uncertain if it is part of the titan, but we remain hopeful.

Also the acrylic front window is a truncated cone shape, fitted into a recess of the same shape in the titanium done.
Outside pressure will naturally just squeeze the acrylic into a really tight fit, solid principle used in many other deep sea vessels.
But the window was only rated for something like a kilometer and a half? Like less than half of the depth of the Titanic? I suppose it could have cracked and cracked again in a split second, becoming a 6000 PSI torrent of acrylic shards and seawater. But I think the carbon fiber hull just insta-failing is still more probable.
