Yeah this isnt what we were promised. I was told goo and itty bitty carbon fiber pieces.
If that thing is that much intact, im thinking all the theories about "dead in .00001 seconds" or whatever the **** is a bunch of bullshit. |

None of the pics I've seen show the actual crew compartment, just the cap with the window

If that window cap is still more or less intact, that probably means that the failure was behind it and more or less popped it off, right?

I still bet there's a lot of goo. I bet some bones must have survived, or some hair.

There’s a video somewhere of them making the sub but I can’t find it now. Those 2 titanium end caps were glued onto the carbon fiber hull with epoxy. Water probably got into that flange where the 2 metals meet and blew the entire thing apart. Death certainly wouldn’t be any slower. They probably found bone fragments

To be fair, they were still descending when they lost contact. They were what, halfway down? It's clear now they never survived to reach the bottom. If they had, I think it would look a lot more violent.

Here's that video the titanium end caps being glued on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dka29FSZac&t=227s
Anyone familiar with that epoxy resin and how durable it is? I bet that's what failed. I read another expert saying if you get so much as a leak tiny enough to fit a human hair that would be enough to trigger a massive implosion at depth. |

I still think somebody ripped a big fart and over pressurized the hull
