Either that or a water leak cut them up to pieces.

One of the people on board was a legit explorer, RIP:
“Harding is a billionaire adventurer who holds three Guinness World Records, including the longest duration at full ocean depth by a crewed vessel. In March 2021, he and ocean explorer Victor Vescovo dived to the lowest depth of the Mariana Trench. In June 2022, he went into space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket.”

If it hasn't imploded and they find the capsule then there will be remains.
If it has imploded then there will be nothing. Depends how far they go down of course. A human body would turn into soup under the pressure.
If you don't know what water pressure can do then just have a look on YouTube. The only good thing about dying that way is that it would be instant and painless.

How old was the kid? Pretty fucking sad that a kid got dragged there.
He bought it last year, apparently. Here a tweet (and an article) about it by the creator and first owner of the submersible.
This is a first i even hear that Gaben used the Steam sales for a fucking submersible, what the hell?

Searchers for Titanic Tourist Sub Heard 'Banging' From Area
A Canadian Aircraft, part of the enormous search mission looking for the missing Titanic tourists, heard 'banging' at 30-minute intervals in the area the submarine disappeared.

Imagine controlling a deep diving submarine with a fucking gaming controller.. the same fucking controllers We COMPLAIN about, because of the varying degrees and timing that stick drift can occur... This was poorly conceived, but with good intentions, I suppose?

Not only a game controller but a shitty Logitech controller at that: at 250k a trip they could have at least splurged on an Xbox game pad if they wanted maximum PC compatibility let alone an elite: oh yeah and no fucking toilet would make it a deal breaker for me if they aren’t dead already they probably are wishing for it about now. I feel bad for them especially the kid but I’ve got a dark sense of humor.

Looks like Xbox controllers we're also used to fly military drones.

also the vessel is made of carbon fiber with only titanium end caps. cf is glorified plastic. seriously wtf.

Yeah, I didn't get into that. I've seen how U.S Navy Subs are more or less built and the materials and engineering involved are NASA-like, with what Science they need to apply to make this thing function at the depths it needs to. It's hard to imagine that there are huge subs that house many sailors, a sizeable mess hall, bathrooms and showers and living spaces. Real subs are engineering marvels and I am taken back by how much goes into them.

Yup, they are all dead. Most likely water breached the hull and the pressure crushed them instantly. The only benefit being it went down so fast their brains didn’t even register it before it was over.

That's nuts if what they're hearing is life on the sub. Would also set the stage for either an incredible rescue...or one of the the worst deaths imaginable. Even if they're still alive they have to locate the sub and bring the equipment to rescue them to the appropriate site and then actually do the rescuing. There's still about 40 hours of supposed life support but actually much less time to potentially save anyone.Interesting.

Just saw what he was up to since ultima online and everything he's involved in has died. Pretty sad.

Carbon fiber is immensely powerful.
I used to work at a company that made pressure bottles covered in it. The carbon fiber enhanced its pressurized stability several times over.
However, the material is not impact resistant. Any impact will likely lead to delaminations and/or broken fibers.

French guy in the sub is on the record saying he didn’t trust its conception but he couldn’t pass the opportunity since he was a Titanic expert (and former member of French Navy).
If they got stuck with time to realize what was happening, he must have had the biggest « I knew it / told you so » moment.

'Banging sounds' heard in 30-minute intervals - US media
Shortly after midnight local time in Newfoundland, Canada, the first reports emerged of potential signs of hope.Two US media outlets reported a leaked internal memo sent to the US Deparment of Homeland Security.
This said a Canadian aircraft had detected underwater "banging sounds" in 30-minute intervals coming from the search area.
"The P8 [seacraft] heard banging sounds in the area every 30 minutes. Four hours later additional sonar was deployed and banging was still heard," Rolling Stone magazine reported the email as saying.
CNN also reported an internal update sent Tuesday night, which suggested more sounds were picked up.
“Additional acoustic feedback was heard and will assist in vectoring surface assets and also indicating continued hope of survivors,” said the second memo according to CNN's report.
An hour after the media reports, the US Coast Guard confirmed that a Canadian search aircraft had picked up "underwater noises".

They knew what they were doing and what the risks were, why waste taxpayers' money on the rescue when chances that they are alive are so slim.

Well, so they found some noises. So there a chance it intact. But even so, do we have anything to hook it up that deep and pull it up? In like what? Next 24hr they have left

Damn I feel sorry for the CEO...
He's under a lot of pressure to make sure his company isn't going under. If I was an investor right now I'd jump ship.

The only manned submersible that could reach the missing Titan is owned by Steam’s Gabe Newell

Yeah, the market should take care of this, if value is seen in deep sea rescue it will happen. If not then the invisible hand has spoken.

makes me remember the Kursk submarine disaster. It's weird because back when Russia relations wasn't so heated, the US offered to help but Russia defused all help. It sort of didn't matter since the crew died almost immediately.

Banging sound?
Oh shit, they’re in the worst case scenario
There’s no way to rescue them by the time oxygen runs out, unless they trimmed the crew
Edit, it stopped yesterday, in the previous version of the article they mentioned this :
« A DHS official told Rolling Stone, that as of 5 hours ago the Titan still had 40 hours of oxygen left and stated that the “situation looks bleak,” adding that they believe the banging was coming from the craft, but that haven’t heard any noise since yesterday. »
They updated the article later. For families? Wrong info?

Now imagine with all that he still didn't do basic checks to make sure the tin can he is getting himself into is secure.

After days of being locked in tin can few kilometers under surface of ocean. Did you saw how little space there is inside of that "submarine" ? Being immediately squished in implosion is mercy in comparison.

They cannot. It’s bolted from the outside, you cannot transfer the passengers to other vessel + there is almost no ship capable of getting to these depths. Media going for drama and ‘rescue’, there will be none.

This isn't going to end well, is it?
Blows my mind why anyone would willingly hand over shit tonnes of money to do this.

Why would the crew make noise every 30 minutes? Doesn't make sense.
