he's also revealed some pretty troublesome revelations about the whole project design and issues re regulation and certification, albeit inadvertently

Sad news, but it looks like the sub imploded. So they probably knew very little if anything before dying. And at least they didn't suffer. A very small consolation for their families and friends.

Kursk was salvagedIt’s always astounded me how relatively “shallow “ our knowledge of the sea is and again, I’m equally puzzled, fascinated by how “shallow “ we have to go before things get seriously dangerous. Remember thinking of the Kursk and how it couldn’t be salvaged from 130-150 metres. Then looking across the school playground and thinking that it was the same distance. And wondering how it couldn’t be done. I’ve read some great books too about diving / apnea and as soon as we go below 100m it’s fraught with danger. Seems such a short depth. But then I remember diving into the 12ft deep end at Eccles baths and realised just how fucking hard it is at even that depth to get back up without vomiting your lungs inside out. Fascinating
Probably, although I assume it's not impossible that the sub didn't implode until recently. Maybe if it'd been stuck on a ridge or somethingAssume the banging noises were a false alarm then?

Don’t suppose they’ll be able to work that out.Probably, although I assume it's not impossible that the sub didn't implode until recently. Maybe if it'd been stuck on a ridge or something
Would have made it more traumatic if it was the case.

Reported on Sky that debris been found. There is a very knowledgeable fella on sky news talking about this now. I think his name is David Meams? He knows two of those on board personally and also knows alot about the sub. Spoke well but also a bit upset unsurprisingly.Is this breaking now.or just a guess?

BBC just know saying they’ve found a ‘landing frame’ (whatever that is) and the rear cover of the submarine.

Exactly what I thought when I just saw the report about the debris. A very sad outcome but if that is what happened, it’s a better way to go than suffer in fear for four days.
