(CNN) ? Filmmaker and deep-sea explorer James Cameron says he figured soon after learning a Titanic-bound submersible was missing it had imploded and its occupants were dead ? days before officials announced that very outcome. After hearing on Monday the ?Titan? craft had disappeared, Cameron connected with people he knows in the deep-sea diving community and was told the submersible had lost communication and tracking simultaneously, he told CNN?s Anderson Cooper on Thursday evening. ?The only scenario that I could come up with in my mind that could account for that was an implosion ? a shock wave event so powerful that it actually took out a secondary system that has its own pressure vessel and its own battery power supply, which is the transponder that the (mother) ship uses to track where the sub is,? Cameron said on ?Anderson Cooper 360.? Posted By Ghost |

A secret underwater detection system heard Sunday what was likely the implosion of the Titan submersible, Navy official says.
According to ABC News, A senior U.S. Navy official confirmed to ABC News that an underwater acoustic detection system heard on Sunday what was likely the implosion of the Titan submersible. The information was immediately shared with the U.S. Coast Guard on Sunday and analysis continued afterwards. “The U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,” the senior official told ABC News in a statement. “While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.” Posted by JR |

Unless you’ve been living under the sea, you’ve no doubt heard about the lost submarine carrying five incredibly rich men to the Titanic’s wreckage.
After setting out early Sunday morning, the submersible quickly lost contact with its surface ship and has been missing ever since. Around the same time, the underwater videographer Abbi Jackson posted a TikTok from a ship in the North Atlantic Ocean, with the caption “Watching a submarine go down to the Titanic.” 16.2 million views later, people are clambering to figure out if the video is a morbid coincidence, a troll, or the worst-timed TikTok of all time. Remarkably, it looks like the latter. “Well this didn?t age well,” one viewer commented. Abbi’s page has gone silent since the video was posted two days ago, but she has not taken it down as of yet. In previous videos, she can be seen wearing an OceanGate life vest, and filming a man who appears to be Paul-Henry Nargeolet; the French ex-Navy diver and Titanic enthusiast who has seen the wreckage 37 times, and is feared to be aboard the submersible. Her Instagram also confirms that she works for OceanGate, the company responsible for the expedition. “Moment before disaster” videos are always shocking, but this one might just be the most improbable of all time. As Molly Seger joked, “Girl did you not keep your eye on it ” |
