It seems that the manual release was some form of hydraulic release. I would hope they used filled hydraulic cylinders to hold the latches closed with a valve inside that could release the pressure. That system could also incorporate the fail safe that would dissolve in seawater over time an release the pressure holding the latches closed.



It didn't need to implode. All it needed to do was to develop a small leak and water would start spraying in, slowly increasing the pressure inside the vehicle and the volume of air inside would get smaller and smaller as the pressure inside the vessel increased.



There is a difference between searching for someone at sea and the bottom of the sea. It's like climbing Mount Everest where climbers are told that once they are above 26,000 feet, they are in the Death Zone where nobody can help them.



The money being spent searching for a craft containing 5 people could be put to a better use either ferrying people in a safer vessel or preventing them sailing on overcrowded vessels.

It seems like there would have to be some system to handle the carbon dioxide in the sub. It can't be released outside of the sub at those pressures. We had to undergo confines space training and wear gas detectors to go inside large hydraulic system tanks to make repairs. It doesn't take long with one person inside a 1,500 gallon tank for the CO2 levels to set off the detector even with a 2 foot diameter port open in the side. We would run an air hose inside the tank to put air in opposite the opening to flush the carbon dioxide laden air out. Simply releasing more oxygen from pressurized tanks inside of a sealed pressure vessel won't get rid of the CO2 but it would increase the pressure in the vessel. At least in space the CO2 can be expelled into the vacuum of space.

Was going to reply but I'm blind now thank you.

I seems a French ROV has found a debris field near the Titanic. I assume on the sea floor.

BreakingDebris field found - US Coast Guard

A debris field has been discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic, the US Coast Guard has just announced.

Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information.

We will bring you more details shortly.

well ....from the 2 word description..... IF it's the Titan.....it doesn't sound like it's intact. Because if it was intact, it wouldn't be described as a debris field.
Hmm. interesting. And it must be obvious this is a NEW debris field (not part of Titanic itself).

It sounds like...... the vehicle HIT the seabed at some speed OR it has completely imploded due to a hull breach.
 
Coast guard to wait until 3 to break the news that they dead
 
my guess the delay on reporting is because they knew it imploded. #conspiracytheories

Maybe they are still trying to notify the families of what they found before they release it to the public. That's my assumption at this point.

Yeah otherwise it would be bush league. Like the UFC announcing fights before the fighters signed the contract
