- Scenario of Implosion: The most plausible theory suggests that the submersible’s hull succumbed to the fragility of its carbon fiber material, resulting in the instantaneous demise of all five passengers.
- Mechanical Failure and Desperate Measures: Alternatively, the submersible might have encountered a mechanical breakdown, leading them to manually release the ballast tanks and ascend. In this hypothetical scenario, they would presently find themselves adrift atop the water’s surface. However, the absence of any sightings, even days later, casts doubt upon this explanation, despite their possession of signal-emitting equipment.
- A Reckless CEO and the Toll of Negligence: The CEO of OceanGate, also serving as the pilot, emerges as a risk-taker inclined to cutting corners, likely driven by financial gains. Ex-employees, past interviews, and independent sources consistently paint a picture of a company that prioritized frugality over safety—an issue that the CEO failed to address earnestly. Consequently, the submersible’s compromised quality could be the catalyst behind the implosion or mechanical failure.
- A Desperate Struggle at Titanic’s Depths: Although less probable based on the available evidence, the haunting possibility remains that they are currently trapped amidst the wreckage of the Titanic or in its vicinity, resting on the seabed. In this grim scenario, locating and rescuing them would demand precious hours, leaving them with a near-zero chance of survival. These unimaginable circumstances entail enduring freezing temperatures, potentially resulting in a tragic demise by suffocation or freezing. It is my fervent hope that this scenario remains nothing more than a remote possibility, given that among the passengers are a father and a son.
The Weight of Accountability
In light of the reported lack of quality control and alleged deceit within the company’s website, if accurate, OceanGate should be held accountable through legal action. Sadly, the passengers’ fate appears increasingly bleak, leaving little room for optimism or the prospect of enduring days of suffering.
Conclusion
The missing Titanic sub and the expedition it undertook represent a remarkable chapter in the ongoing exploration of the Titanic’s legacy. The dedication of the experts and the shared passion of the passengers demonstrate the enduring fascination with this tragic event. Through their efforts, we could have continued to uncover new details about the Titanic and honor the memories of those who lost their lives aboard the ill-fated ship. Until they were lost.
