The CEO of the company whose Titanic-seeking submarine has been missing for nearly two days once said safety was a “pure waste.”

One thing I can say is if they ever do find the sub intact, its very likely these guys recorded their last hours on their phones and we are very likely to see that at some point… talk about nightmare fuel.
I don’t think waterproof phones are waterproof at that depth.
Yes if the cabin filled up with water then the data would not be retrievable. But it sounds now like they have found a debris field so the thing imploded. Best way for them to go really.
So now we know that they were only an hour and forty five minutes into the dive when they imploded.
I saw one interview on youtube with a member of the submersible community who claimed to have some inside information from people close to the incident. He said that the sub got into trouble and communicated to the mothership that it was aborting the mission and returning to the surface, before going dark.
So I am imagining the billionaires in there listening to cracking sounds from the hull before it gave way. I bet that they recorded video, and I bet that the recordings can be recovered, but I doubt that they will be released.
