We discussed this before; here is a great (and long) summary of just how bad things really were.  After reading this article it was a question of if the sub would implode, rather it was a matter of when


The Titan Submersible Disaster Shocked the World. The Exclusive Inside Story Is More Disturbing Than Anyone Imagined

There was a story out yesterday from an interview with one of the insiders of the control room. He said that everyone in the room knew the exact moment the sub imploded and even knew its location, thanks to several navy ships triangulating from multiple positions the "bang" noise picked up on sophisticated sonar. He had no idea why everyone was told to say nothing and watch the drama drag out for a couple of days. Everyone in the room knew they were dead the second it happened
I told my teenage son, when I was his age, I used to get 10 CDs in the mail for a penny. I don't know if he thought I was lying or even knew what a CD was, or what a penny was, or what the mail was, or all of the above
