Those two interviews are great. I wonder what makes them believe they were on the way up rather than down?
Maybe they dropped ballast. The distance from. The Titanic that they found the subs frame and rear cover were two ships lengths, 460m from titanic. If it imploded on the way down the wreckage may have been spread apart further.

Neil Brennan has a new podcast and has been interviewing comedians. He's done Letterman and Leno and some more. It stuck out to me when Leno stated "people love to watch rich people burn" in relation to this thread.
It's kind of weird to think that this antique shipwreck site that some hold sacred as a UNESCO Heritage Site and cemetery where hundreds are laid to rest, now has a Playstation controller laying around the vicinity somewhere.

Negligence sure. Obviously it could have been maintained more rigorously, but I don't understand where you get the latter from.
You don't think there is arrogance involved from ignoring warnings from people that you're doing something unsafe?
"i know better than all these experts, im going to hire a bunch of young people who wont stand up to me"
arrogance.

It's hard to fathom

The catastrophic event would have pulled the metal vessel apart "like taffy," according to Naval History Magazine. "Complete destruction would occur in 1/20th of a second, too fast to be cognitively recognized by the men within the submarine."
I know it's no great comfort to the families and the spouses, but they did die instantaneously. They were not even aware that anything was wrong," journalist David Pogue said on CNN.
I thought this was interesting. In the James Cameron interview he mentions he was competing with Branson on getting to the challenger deep. Branson was using a Carbon Fiber hub and Cameron was saying that was stupid
This article on virgin oceanic states that the vessel never passed stress testing and the engineering company pulled out after learning they wanted to do repeated dives with the shell.
I think that is a great comfort knowing there was no suffering. You know families were having very dark thoughts of the men freezing and suffocating slowly to death.
What could be very difficult for some is no body, just gone. That happened to me a friend was killed instantly when a large truck hit his vehicle. Massive damage nothing left. Supposedly ashes were recovered but I don't see how I saw the scene. Messes with my head.

Might have known the same person. Closure is massively important to humans when we don't have it we struggle immensely.
