I found another strange rescue story from Everest. https://explorersweb.com/everest-chinese-woman-refuses-pay-rescue/ -Fan, Xie, Lakpa Gelu, and Pem Chhiri started to head down toward Camp 4. The two sherpas carried the woman and gave her oxygen, while Fan and Xie held her legs. It took them 11 hours to reach 7,950m Camp 4 at the South Col with the stricken Liu. They negotiated a payment for the rescue on top of the mountain. And then where not fully payed. I don't know if, or how much of this story is true.

According to Sky News, the debris includes the landing frame and the rear cover from the Titan. No hull section parts found yet.

Guy on CNN reporting that they found the pieces of the submersible but that, "The search for the crew continues." Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the crew essentially a liquid now? I'm ignorant of these events, is there anything recognizable as human even left?

It's really hard to say, it depends exactly how the tank failed. This is going to seem ghoulish as hell and I don't mean it that way but there might be identifiable chunks.

What if they went under and changed subs just below the surface? Truly the perfect crime. If you were going to fake your death in a submarine implosion why would you waste more than a playstation controllers worth of money on steering even if you were a billionaire? weg fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Jun 22, 2023 |

Oh my god, the Coast Guard press conference. After repeatedly explaining that it was a catastrophic failure, the poor bastard has to explain again and again to idiot reporters that getting there earlier wouldn't have helped. JFC. Anyway, the guy in charge of the ROV said there were two debris fields, he seemed a bit cagey about what they found which made me wonder if there was some sign of remains, if not bodies, perhaps clothing, shoes, that sort of thing? They found the previously mentioned tail cone first, then the rear titanium ring, then the front titanium seal and the rest of the debris he didn't get into specifics. Oh yeah, after it was made clear that the wreckage was found 1600 feet from the bow of the Titanic, yet another genius reporter asked if the sub might have imploded because it collided with the wreckage. No, I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt assuming he might have meant the stern. Because they are idiots.

I didn't listen to the entire press conference, but I'm curious if they found the wreckage days ago and didn't want to tell anyone. Though, I doubt they would've wasted all of these resources just for false glimmers of hope.

Might as well be a Thanos-snap from human beings, clothes, etc to particles, which is why the metal bits of the sub are the only recognizable thing that has or will ever show.

Why are they calling it a 'Remote Operated Vehicle' instead of a drone? Is there some distinction, or are they trying to sound tacticool?

ROV is a term of the art in marine exploration predating "drone" in its contemporary use.

If you're old enough to remember when they first discovered and dove on the wreck (cough), you'll remember ALVIN and yeah, they called it an ROV waaaay back then in the olden days.
