This tiny submarine 2.4 miles under the sea, visiting the relics of RMS Titanic. Can it be found and the crew saved before the air runs out?

Doubt why will ever be fully known but those screws into the body strike me as having of all the makings of a hidden fracture that has developed and expanded with the repeated deep descents and ascents aka many a plane crash

Or a viewing window that was only rated to a third of the depth it was being taken to. Or something else.

I'm sure in time there will be an investigation and a report dispelling or confirming all the rumours and whatnot, but if what I have read is anywhere near true then it seems like a very shoddy and ignorant operation with many corners cut...

They are talking about it perhaps getting caught on the wreckage or similar, but one wonders if they even reached the bottom at all.
I am sure the debris scatter would give them some sort of an idea though.

Sorry, a bit of a gruesome question, but would there actually be anything left of the occupants, or would the immense pressure just turn them to mush?

I am curious as well, to be fair.

Comms were lost whilst they would have been on the way down, but that had happened before, so who knows? If the ROV has seen the debris underwater though, as reported, then the only place they'd have been looking is around the wreck because it's the only place to look, absent any other clues and it seems the banging reports were erroneous)

From another forum:

When it implodes everything combustible inside is instantly combusted, think diesel engine pressures/temperatures at the top of it’s stroke only more so. The implosion is so violent that nobody onboard would know a thing. The imploding material travels inwards faster than the brain and nervous system could could process the event. Typically there’s nothing left to recover.

 

[Drago]

The sudden, within milliseconds, application of the best part of 3 tons per square inch will effectively crush and near liquefy a body. The saving grace is that  if this was the outcome it would have been instant. It would happen faster than their nervous seems could react so they genuinely would have known nothing.

A morbid thought, but there's no getting away from the reality if that is what has happened.

Hasn't there been a "debris field" there since April 15th 1912?

Not one not covered by silt, I expect - with carbon fibre, titanium, and recognisable components (landing cradle and rear pointed cone)

Exactly. it’s been well mapped over the years so any new stuff will be obvious.

 

[rockyroller]

They are now saying that it's a landing frame and a rear cover from a submersible they have found.
