If it was filled with water, it wouldn't
Supposedly it has some fail safes for ballast release (both manual and automatic). If it wasn't filled with water, but it was caught on something, then it wouldn't go anywhere. And it is possible it could have floated towards the surface, but apparently the submersible doesn't fully surface and they painted the thing blue/white, which doesn't make it stand out against the ocean.
The sonar buoys they launched could potentially triangulate its position if that sound they are picking up is being made by the people inside

Best way to go. No 5 days of claustrophobia. Their brains wouldn't had time to even register a millisecond of implosion sounds.

I’ve heard unsubstantiated reports that prior to losing communication, it was reported the sub was descending faster than expected. I wouldn’t be shocked if it descended too fast and the rapid changes in pressure stressed the hull too much and caused an implosion
At least it would have been over almost instantly for them. That also means they have probably been dead ever since communications were lost

I'm going to choose to believe that one of the billionaires got impatient and pushed the 'Go Down' button.
Unfortunately, we probably won't ever really know. If a "black box" type device is even feasible at these depths, I doubt the CEO thought it was worth the cost to include one.
Let’s hope they don’t work in shifts or call in reinforcements or some shit. Going to be a long day of popping up random places, seeing the little fuckers charging, and then diving again. Either that or getting turned into an inverted porcupine.

here is an actual tested, demonstrated and rated vessel that this billionaire could have easily contracted with
It’s been to the bottom of the Mariana Trench (3x deeper than the titanic sits) twenty times and it’s rated to go deeper than the ocean is known to be at its deepest point.
nah, fuck it, let’s fly economy

That sub you listed is great, but only had room for 1 paying customer. For a commercial enterprise trying to sell tours, they would have needed something with more capacity
In theory they should have been able to commission one to those standards, but they probably scoffed at the price and decided to DYI something instead

I was saying from the perspective of the billionaire looking for an adventure...fuck the grifter that got everyone including himself killed.

I'm no expert on carbon, but I know F1 parts are put together with a weave that is strong from a particular direction. Suspension parts for instance don't do well with hits from the side as they are strong in the vertical direction. I wonder if it was extruded vertically or if it was a joined roll. That would create a seam perpendicular to the strong direction.

Elon doesn't renew Google cloud data contract and suddenly implements a shitty read post limit on Twitter (which counts replies on tweets and random shit you scroll past). I imagine he will reverse this even more once the advertisers realize people can't see their stuff lol
