Maybe that one single button stopped functioning? Or the knock off PS3 game controller from GameStop with 15% 1 Star reviews busted?

Had to laugh at this one.  Sub company CEO said he didn't want a bunch of 50 year old white guys working on the program and then they have a clip showing the most critical phase in construction where the titanium rings are secured to the carbon fiber pressure hull and it is a bunch of 50 year old white guys doing it.

I hope that they send another submersible full of billionaires to rescue the first one.

This time tell them that the $250k is the one-way fare.

Searchers for Titanic Tourist Sub Heard ‘Banging’ From Area, Internal Comms Reveal

Source article here:

A Canadian aircraft searching for the missing Titan submersible, which failed to return Sunday from an expedition to the wreckage of the Titanic, detected “banging” in 30-minute intervals coming from the area the divers disappeared, according to internal e-mail updates sent by the Department of Homeland Security’s National Operations Center obtained by Rolling Stone.

Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area. As a result, ROV operations were relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises. Those ROV searches have yielded negative results but continue.  1/2

Additionally, the data from the P-3 aircraft has been shared with our U.S. Navy experts for further analysis which will be considered in future search plans. 2/2

In underwater disasters, a crew unable to communicate with the surface relies on banging on their submersible’s hull to be detected by sonar. However, no official has publicly suggested that’s the case and noises underwater can come from a variety of sources.

Realistically, what inside the sub would be there to bang on the hull, to be heard? I wish they would ask folks who have already been on that sub, to say what they think would actually be there to bang on the hull.

They said something about the banging being at 30 minute intervals.  That seems odd to me.  If they have five people there, I would think that they could take turns and bang continuously.  Also, bang in patterns that would be unmistakeably human, like a SOS pattern.

They have the ps2 controller to bang with, which is presumably worthless at the moment.

I was actually going to say this but then I thought it was in bad taste.

I had the same thought.

Shave and a haircut on the titanium ring with the lid off that toilet/chair?
