As a side note, do we know for sure it was at 4000 meters and not descending? What I saw of the presser seemed vague on that point.

Obviously unless they were close to the surface there isn't going to be anything left to find. I'm just wondering at what depth this thing gave out given that the windows alone were supposedly only rated for 1.3k-1.6k meters.

Other dive ships do about 500m per hour
They were in the ship for an hour and 45 minutes
They were thus likely around 1600m which was about halfway there

PPP loans were intended to help small businesses pay their bills and their employees during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially given the fallout from all of the lockdowns. The program was definitely gamed, but if you were actually using them as intended, you were eligible for loan forgiveness.

Also Trump removed the person who was in charge of oversight of the program

So the entire point of waivers is to prevent the company from facing a lawsuit because it then legally puts the sole responsibility of risk on the participant, but I bet these waivers were just written in MSWord by the CEO from some template he found online and were never reviewed by any lawyer because he's a dumbass cheapskate.

What am saying is I hope the waivers are deemed invalid and they get super sued.

You can't waive away gross criminal negligence. The guilty party is a salty red stew at the bottom of the Atlantic, but other people from the company could be liable as well.

MY OPINION IS SEERS OF THE THRONE PROPAGANDA IGNORE MY GNOSIS-IMPAIRED RAMBLINGS
To put it in perspective for people, a pressure washer tends to run at 1,300 psi to 1,700 for electric models and 2000-2800 psi for gas ones. The electric ones can and will chop through soft tissue.

I've seen this myself when a dog stupidly thought it was a normal jet of water from a hose and came out of nowhere to bite at the stream. It pierced their jaw and nearly went into their eye, which if it had would have pierced it and entered their brain killing them instantly. It was only quick reactions that kept this from happening and limited it to major surgery to repair their jaw and stem the extremely heavy bleeding that nearly killed the animal anyways before we could get him to a vet.

The interior of the titan would have experienced an onrushing of water at a pressure of 6000 psi at best. TL;DR: They aren't finding poo poo from the inside of that ship. The inrushing of water alone would have discorporated them.

Edit: Psi, for the record, means pounds per square inch to give an even clearer indication of how hosed those people were.

I'm also pretty sure that waivers aren't just magical "get out of all legal liability no matter how negligent or criminal my actions are" passes? Past a certain point of reckless negligence it doesn't matter what anybody's signed or not signed.

Personally as an engineer or whateverI think the most likely outcome is that the hull was shredded by the compression and sitting on the floor the size of rocks or smaller. Therefore quite hard to detect. Even if the robotic subs are down there for weeks or months or years. I’m not sure if at least some little bits of wreckage would float to the top or not but even stuff like life preservers might have been totally shredded in about a millisecond. The biggest pieces might be those endcaps and the legs of the thing / other stuff outside of the pressure hull, which were already equalized.

I should win something imo.. I should get a billion dollars

apparently it had a hull failure alarm which probably didn't work since that engineer they fired said that in testing it usually didn't actually go off until a few milliseconds before the hull actually failed

They were vaporized at hundreds of thousand of degrees in less than a millisecond.

I can handle about 0.01 seconds of that song before turning it off.

Which, coincidently, is roughly how long the sub would take to implode.

I don't think anything gets totally incinerated, there's just not enough time before the water hits it a microsecond later.

The air gets heated up to super-high temperatures because it's rapidly compressed, and the partial pressure of oxygen is so high that some things would start to spontaneously combust... but there's near-zero time to actually burn.
It's hitting temperatures and pressures that it's probably not worth talking about chemical reactions as trivial as oxygen that's reacting with people as much as the contents of the sub hitting temperatures liberating them of all of their chemical bonds and condensing their plasma into ocean salts and simple aminos moments later.
