Squeezed like a jar: an explosion occurred in the bathyscaphe almost immediately after it was immersed, all crew members died (3 photos + 2 videos)
This was reported by the US Coast Guard and the operating company the missing bathyscaphe. In the United States, they begin to ask uncomfortable questions to Biden: why was a multimillion-dollar operation to rescue crew members needed, if he knew on the day of the Titanic's sinking that there are no survivors. Why did he hide information from the public?
After five days of searching for the missing bathyscaphe, hoping that that one of the crew members could have survived, no. Everyone who was on board perished in the explosion. The US Navy recorded the sound the destruction of the hull of the bathyscaphe Titan shortly after its immersion - reports the publication WSJ. Secret sonar system heard a sound alleged explosion near the site where the wreckage was found bathyscaphe. Searches with the help of this system of an underwater vehicle were started immediately after the loss of communication with him. The recorded sound was like an inward-directed explosion (implosion). Later in the same place were found fragments of Titan - landing frame and back cover.
These data give reason to believe that those inside people died before they ran out of oxygen. To that a disappointing conclusion was reached by both the US Coast Guard and operator company that organized the submersion of the submersible.
Ocean Gate said in a statement that the dead travelers were real explorers who shared a special spirit of adventure and a deep passion for exploration and protection World Ocean. Our hearts with these five souls and every member of them families at this tragic time.
If we talk about the chronology of the development of events, then it is as follows:
Sunday, June 18, around 9 am: bathyscaphe starts from the auxiliary ship "Polar Prince" and begins its two-hour dive to the wreck of the Titanic. According to officials, he is losing communication with the ship already 1 hour 45 minutes after the descent.
Search operations begin on the same day. US Navy detect an acoustic signature corresponding to an explosion and transmit this information to commanders conducting search operations was reported to CNN high-ranking official. But the sound is defined as "not final", and the search continues.
Monday, June 19, US and Canadian Coast Guard continue to search for the missing bathyscaphe on the surface and under water. A Canadian aircraft and two C-130 aircraft conduct air and radar search, with the help of sonar buoys they listen sounds in the water. Officials say that if the submarine is still intact, then, according to rough estimates, her oxygen passengers will remain on 70 to 96 hours of life support.
Tuesday 20 June. Sonar picks up underwater noises which are fixed at 30-minute intervals. US Coast Guard reports that the search for the sources of sounds "gave negative results." TO The rescue operation is joined by new ships and aircraft.
Wednesday, June 21st. The US Coast Guard expands the zone search, as it is assumed that the level of oxygen in the underwater device has reached a critical level. Deployed a fleet of ships and specialized equipment, including the naval rescue system USA, capable of lifting ships from the bottom of the ocean. Discovered new underwater tires, and equipment of a remotely controlled vehicle (ROV) moves to try and pinpoint their coordinates and origin, but to no avail. Questions begin to arise about that OceanGate Expeditions operators have waived security checks Titan.
Thursday, June 22 Around noon Eastern European time, the US Coast Guard reported that in the area of u200bu200bthe search for a bathyscaphe debris field was found. OceanGate states that it believes that passengers "unfortunately died." The US Coast Guard reports that Five large wrecks of the Titan submersible have been discovered. "correspond to the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber." Around 15:00 ET, Rear Admiral John Mauger reports that the ship was damaged by "catastrophic explosion" that killed all five on board.
Why could there be an explosion? At such depths, underwater apparatus is subjected to enormous pressure, and even the slightest structural a defect can have catastrophic consequences. And although the composite The Titan's hull was built to withstand strong deep sea pressure, any error in its shape or design might deliver endanger its integrity - in this case, the probability of an explosion is high.
An example of what implosion is is shown in philuhm "Abyss"
After the information that the US Navy received information about explosion on Sunday, but the general public was not informed about it, in The United States begins to flare up scandals. U.S. Naval Intelligence Veteran Jack Posobets believes that the President of the United States deliberately concealed these facts. WSJ reports that the US Navy has registered the explosion of the submersible "Titan" in Sunday, but Biden held onto the news until today's testimony informer about Hunter (son of the American president. - Ed.). All this was a distraction operation, ”he wrote on social networks.
US Navy sonar detects explosion of submarine Titan a few hours after the submersible lost contact with mother ship, and here the question arises, why did they start multimillion-dollar international rescue work,” Posobets said.
It seems that the story with the bathyscaphe is still not over. For sure expect high-profile investigations and interesting news.
