Thanks. I wonder where the launch boat was in all of this? Seems like they should have had a ROV as well just as a standard tool when doing this type of thing. |

The Atalante then headed south to the search area where it deployed the ROV. |

As I understand it... the support was up there thumbing it's sack for 8 hours after losing contact before reaching out to the Coast Guard.

Correct, but apparently it’s not uncommon for them to lose communications, so I get waiting an hour or 2, but 8 hours I don’t understand.

Read an article where the jank operator cut costs by using an experimental carbon fiber hull rather than steel/titanium.
This thing was only slightly more seaworthy than Clay’s Murano. |

One thing to consider is that the seabed is littered with microphones that the military listens to... one would think that they would have heard an explosion of some sort had there been some sort of violent de-compression.

Also want to point out that the claims of OceanGate’s relationship with Boeing, University of Washington, and NASA are not what they were initially claimed to be.
At Washington, they used 650K of a $5 million grant for testing at UW’s facilities (without UE faculty present) before going their separate ways. Boeing claims they never consulted with OceanGate. And NASA says they did nothing more than serve as informal consultants for recommendations for materials and structure… |

They probably spent 6 hours trying to figure out how to cover their asses. If the owner has any $ in his estate it won't be much longer.

If you are referring to SOSUS, I believe that no longer exists.

Just reported a debris field was found near the Titanic. Looks like they imploded from pressure.
Recovery mission underway

If you're using an ROV to search the ocean floor, you're looking for bodies and little else. And that's all that system is designed for - it's a series of cameras; nothing that can actually conduct a rescue of any sort. The bodies ain't going anywhere - there's really no rush and seemingly no utility in keeping one on-site.
