if this is true then it needs to be put on blast. if the lawyers that the rich guys widows hire see this it is a fucking slam dunk case that can put a body shot into DEI bullshit.

Yeah, in other news a Canadian aircraft over the search area has heard under water 'banging' noises.
Canadian aircraft detected 'underwater noises’ from search area for missing Titanic tourist submarine
This could me they still live yet that in of itself would be a curse with limited time to the point of impossibility of raising the sub and opening the backassward entry port.

I think nasty a previous poster mentioned, even if they're not, I don't think there's adequate time to raise the sub and save them before they're dead, even if they're still alive right now.

You're basically implying this was inevitable to happen: Not if but when.
You're right. I am.

That or a towed SONAR array.
Aircraft SONAR is fairly limited however, they would be better off sending an actual American submarine with a more substantial SONAR sphere.

might not have been one nearby. or at least that plane was what could get there fastest.

My apologies, aircraft towed SONAR is typically deployed from helicopters, but their are some towed systems for fixed wing aircraft, the sound of the cable moving through the water is usually minimal, and easily identifiable to SONAR operators as their own noise.
Of course these aircraft SONAR systems aren't as capable as a surface ship SONAR system, which isn't as capable as a submarine SONAR system.

You're not wrong either; and while I sympathize with the missing passengers and their families, I can't help but feel that their willingness to climb into such an obvious deathtrap, means that they would have gotten themselves killed eventually doing something equally as stupid, even if nothing had gone wrong this time.
Not everyone is an extemporary seaman or engineer to tell the safety concerns, particularly the businessman and his son, Hamish had been to space before and other deep dives he should have been at least somewhat aware of the risk although not the full extent and the CEO of OceanGate and his guild definitely should have been aware if anybody.
It was absolutely inevitable, given the fact that they never fully depth tested it, used parts that weren't rated for that depth, and openly insisted that their "real-time health monitoring system" made safety certification obsolete. They also openly declared that it was perfectly reasonable to not have any safety certification because such certification would be a "multi-year process" which would unreasonably stifle their innovation.
