The only conspiracy I’ll be a little on board with is that this was all a big death faking, or weird Agent 47 esque murder.

Yeah reading between the lines it definitely sounds like the sub imploded well before any search efforts were underway, probably around the time contact was first lost on Sunday.

Can someone tell the robot operators to get some more Titanic wreck footage while they’re at it?

It's so frustrating knowing that the typical confusion of a frantic news cycle with lots of moving parts is seeding decades of extremely obnoxious stupid people's conspiracy theories. We will be hearing about the "coverup" of this for decades, predicated on the banging sounds that could literally have been anything

I realize the complexities of the search area but the fact that it took 72 hours to find the debris field right in front of the Titanic means that a rescue was never even on the table.

I guess my biggest question out of this is why didn't Oceangate consult with or even hire the people that designed James Cameron's subs? It's not like they didn't have the money to afford it.

GreenBuckanneer posted:Yes, obviously the sharks didn't go there I think the moron in the video was implying that the sharks beelined to the wreck for some reason. I don't know exactly why any signals from the search ships would be confused for the SPOT tags attached to the sharks, and why just Simon and Andromache, but it's certainly possible.

I feel like your best bet would be to thoroughly comb the surface as much as possible, once they’re stranded by the Titanic odds of rescue would have probably been silly. I don’t think they even had stuff that could make the dive until early this morning?

It's not like they didn't have the money to afford it. Did they have the money for it? It'd have cost them a shitload more to build it for real, instead of the fake sub they ended up with. The company had PPP loans of 447k forgiven https://twitter.com/derekwillis/status/1671928642094473216?t=whiHK5tz9M0gJPgVcT-l7g&s=19
