If it works for the space program, it should work on earth:

The Umbilicus was a 370-mile-long cable that kept the SOL tethered to Earth. The Umbillicus could be used to send objects from Deep 13 to the SOL and back, and seemed somewhat important for keeping the SOL in orbit (as well as keeping some of its functions on in a way). A similar device is used during later programs, and the Simulator of Love also has an Umbilicus.

Now its about finding the submersible.  Be it in scattered fragments and sections, or resting somehow on the bottom.
If its intact, do any of the families demand it be raised to recover the bodies?
And how long does it take to locate?  Its a pretty small target
Maybe it never gets found because its small

The plus side is that they’re in a heavy detail mapped part of the ocean. Wouldn’t be impossible to overlay, and find anomalies.

Also, I'd like to retract my theory of external snags ripping cabling out; it appears all the photos going around are the early preproduction versions where they were testing things at shallow depths; the company posted this a few days ago; you can see how they've put a fairing over everything now.

Not sure how much experience you have at sea, but doing something that sounds so easy in 10ft seas becomes almost impossible.  Even if it had grab handles for a diver to hold on to, which is nothing of the sort for a diver to do that while operating a hand tool in a rough ocean.  I'm doubtful any CG commander would allow one of his swimmers to take that risk.

there are certain situation where there is no 'rescue' think most (all?) space launches, once the ship reaches orbit. if something is broke there is no rescue. like the one where the tiles broke off on take off and the ship burned up on re-entry. in cases like that you must engineer and test like hell. thats the best you can do. in this case there was no backup and not enough engineering. the alternative apparently was ... 'too expensive' (my guess).

Sonar expert says underwater 'banging' heard by Coast Guard at submarine search site is just 'debris falling from the decaying wreck' - and proof of life of Titan Five is 'wishful thinking'


A sonar expert claims the 'banging' heard by search and rescue vessels at the search site for the missing Titanic tourist sub is likely to be 'debris' and 'junk' from the iconic wreck.

Jeff Karson, Professor Emeritus of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Syracuse University, told DailyMail.com the sounds heard are likely to be 'wishful thinking' by the Coast Guard.

The US Navy detected the noises  Wednesday morning after a Canadian P3 search aircraft had detected sounds coming from underwater Tuesday night.


It has been a glimmer of hope for the multinational effort to find the Titan, which vanished after launching on Sunday with five men on board.

But Karson said he won't be 'shocked if that, wherever that sound is, that there's no submarine there.'



Speaking to DailyMail.com he said: 'One possibility is that the sounds bouncing around the debris. And so it's a more complicated echo.

'It's just not bouncing off of one thing. It's bouncing off a bunch of things. And it's like, you know, dropping up a marble into a tin can. It's rattling around and that would confuse the location.

'The banging, I hear the Coast Guard talk about it. I wonder how much of this is just wishful thinking?

'Is it really banging or just some unidentified sound? I think that is a more accurate description right now.

'In past investigations, looking for loss objects on the seafloor, I know that all sorts of crazy sound was discovered. It's just one more thing we don't understand about the ocean, our own planet.

'There's no telling where the sound is coming from or how far away it is. Personally, I'm worried that sound may be coming from something that's far from the where they need to be looking.

'But they have to follow up on it. It's the best lead right now. Everything is being done. It's all hands on deck, international vessels, everybody is doing the best they possibly can.'

As an engineer, I want to know what happened.  

If I were betting man I would say this:

1.  The sub developed a leak.
2.  The leak was at the penetrations for cabling, not anywhere near the front glass area or front hatch.
3.  The sub sank due to the leak and the folks are very dead.  

a.  I bet the CF hull and titanium endcaps are well engineered
b.  The pressure vessel nature of the item will cause the whole thing to self seal just about.  
c.  I have no concerns about the front hatch.  It's a flat metal sealing surface under intense pressure.  The oring present is almost undoubtedly only to allow for low-depth operations.
d.  I don't believe the front window would crack before it imploded.  I think you would get a "fuck you die" event not a gentle failure.

my grandparents were born in the late 1890s, early 1900s. never forget my grandmother talking about the titanic which was a big story it its day. it was 'unsinkable'. they way she put it, it was sorta an affront to god. and their pride in the 'unsinkable'  titanic didnt even complete its first voyage. basically a deeply religious and somewhat superstitious generation it was, at least in the south where they grew up.

Good post.

I went Googling earlier today trying to find out how/if noisy the wreck of the Titanic is. Of course, Google sucks and everything came back with current news.

There was one article that had a paragraph from someone who said the wreck is actually very noisy.

I’m embarrassed that I lacked the common sense during discussions with people yesterday and today to say “noise? Well there is a big ass metal decaying ship down there!”
