Presumably becasue they need to get another 3 days of news cycle out of it.

It's alright, there's some more sea based tragedy to fill any gaps.

How does that heppen when you have a support boat?
Be amazing if it was a ruse to this end.Since it was confirmed that Mr Hughes was missing, donations to his online fundraiser have soared.
They dead yet?
Rumbled.
I'd seen all the stuff about him on twitter but what I didn't realise is that he's THIRTY FUCKING SIX YEARS OLD. I assumed he was in his early twenties. Jesus christ.
I know the what the fuck bar is pretty high these days [or should that be low?] but, seriously, what the fuck is this all about?

That's proper insane.
Sounds like a Haneke film that couldn't attract funding.
Christ almighty.
while one denied it was rape, saying: “It’s his wife, he does what he likes with her.”
Is there any part of this sub that isn't an absolute shambles?“That should be possible,” he told me. “But [if it’s Titan] they’re banging on a carbon fibre hull, not a steel hull.
“That’s like banging a log, instead of banging a bell - it’s less loud and more muffled, so it’s not a crisp, clear noise. That may not propagate through the water anywhere near as well.”
You would have thought, at the very least it would carry some sort of deployable distress beacon in the event it needs be found.

FIGHT!
I think the big problem with that is that anything sufficiently close enough to the surface to communicate is then too far away from the sub to be of any real use in locating it. Plus, as they are now discovering, finding out there's a problem is the easiest part of the process and the people running a death tube with a shitty window rated for less than half their operating depth is hardly likely to start bothering with multiple miles of cabling and all the surface support that must entail.
"Debris field" discovered.
I assume by "potential breakthrough" they mean "they're all dead".
Debris in the sea, can't be much of that. Same goes for noises being detected, I'd be willing to wager they're all just picking up other search boats or some horny porpoises.
The BBC are saying there's been an "implosion", so I can only imagine the Debris is pretty clear cut.
Compacted billionaire.
Of the available options that might be the best way to go in the circumstances, assuming it's fairly instantaneous.
Probably from all the gasping for air. Or one of them brought a gun onboard and was all, "I HAVE A PLAN!"
The worst way being floating on the surface until you ran out of air because you'd been bolted in to the bastard thing.
RIP in pieces, lads.
Or one very flat piece at least.
Sounds like they'll be in a great many pieces.
Only slight upside is they didnt have to sit on the bottom of the ocean watching their oxygen fade away. They probably had no idea anything had happened until it was over.
I'd love a cockpit black box style recording of this.
"What do you mean you have no idea how to get us out of this? Didn't you invent this bathtub?"
"Why didn't you charge the controller before we left?"
Why are all four lights flashing?
"The up button is also the down button? Is it too late to cancel?"
Maybe they forgot to invert the vertical axis and they're actually in space?
Amazing to think that if the thing hadn't imploded they may well have been rescued, against ludicrous odds.
James Cameron just absolutely burying the company as Charlatans who did everything on the cheap. Love it.
If it hadn't have imploded they wouldn't need rescuing... They shopped at B&Q and fixed things with chewing gum and paper clips because 'innovation > regulation'. They were a bunch of rich chancers and the owner got what he deserved.
I don't think many people, if any, deserve death, but you carry on.
Phonics wishing death on people is not that surprising, really.
Deserved is maybe harsh but it's like the man who invented the Segway dying because he fell asleep on it and drove it off a cliff. It's at the very least funny.
It's unfortunate innocent people got caught in the crossfire of this very dodgy endeavour.
You've also missed the point I was making, in that the general consensus was that the rescuers wouldn't find the thing. They did. Had it been a loss of power, again the general consensus, they'd have possibly been saved.
Hell, it might well have been a loss of power that stranded them down there and the thing imploded as it couldn't take any more than 3 days worth of seabed pressure. I'm assuming there's little chance they actually tested that it could last for as long as the oxygen would.
It is quite literally the same thing as the captain of the titanic driving into an iceberg that he was warned about. It’s beautifully ironic.
I must say that it wasn't lost on me that the thing is still claiming lives well over a century after it fucking sank.
Also
Perfection. Just a shooter calling their shot.
Was the general consensus really loss of power? Wasn't it more, they're clearly all dead outside of everyone not involved in the rescue? And even privately that is probably what all the Dick Hole Institute people were thinking.
Also, well done Disco for insta-calling it.
Captain Smith followed standard procedure when the ice warnings came in, which you would think James Cameron would know. Cheap promo.
I didn't see anyone say that they're already dead or that the thing may have imploded.
EDIT: In the media.
It's almost like there are legal economic ramifications for the media saying things about companies and people that you can't directly prove.
You're utterly insufferable this evening.
They're probably all dead doesn't make for 5 days of news cycle though, does it?
Very true. I suppose it's also in bad taste to suggest it.
On another note, I swear I saw the CEO chap talking about the hull being the only thing that wasn't made from Walmart purchases. So I guess not a single bit of it was ocean bed worthy.
Yeah, this aged badly.
Look even I'd agree that I don't think you needed to insert 'this evening' into that sentence.
I was sure they'd never find it too. Even though they had a pretty good idea where it was going to be, to find it within 3/4 days, is quite impressive.
