The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic

Weren't the occupants cremated instantly?

I mean, it’s well known by this point. But a “seconds from disaster” version of it would be interesting to watch as disaster porn.

So the front AND the back fell off? Is that normal?

From your link it seems that even the front titanium hemisphere is still relatively intact.

Hopefully, examination of the wreckage will yield valuable information about the cause of the failure and help future designs of deep-sea submersibles.

I mean we have money for that. Not just for social services, cause that will set the wrong incentive /s

Ya the only damage would be from the implosion and shrapnel. Everything else was sitting at the same pressure, so there's nothing really going on to cause damage.

It's weird seeing huge pieces that look relatively undamaged. Looks like you can just throw that frame with all the electronics in the spare parts bin and call it a day lol

I believe this is the outer portion. The carbon fiber shell imploded and is probably not recoverable.

I'm certainly no expert but I understand submarines have an inner and outer hull. The inner hull has to withstand the pressure of the deep but the outer hull does not. The inner hull would be crushed into bits but the outer hull and any equipment in-between would likely be ripped into large chunks as such a violent event occurs inside of it.

The outer shell didn't hold pressure and was there to cover wires/ equipment exposed outside the pressure vessel.

like the simulations on the news show

Why would you put any faith in a simulation by an organization that has no knowledge of the domain?

Controllers like that are used on nuclear attack submarines aswell so that is not the issue even though it might seem funny to someone not familiar with this stuff.

Those companies have made billions of them over several decades. It's much more reliable to go with a one like that than to develop a new one from scratch. Submarines don't implode because it was steered by a logitech controller

It was a Logitech controller. I guess he couldn't spring for the pricier Xbox controller.
