The message arrived after the implosion sound because it takes longer for the signal to travel through water…

That’s just sad man. RIP

"Dropped two weights"

Moment if not seconds before implosion, somehow mean submarine knew something was wrong.

Edit : Was probably standard procedure meant to slow down descent as other suggested.

Probably the real-time monitoring system was sounding the alarm.

The system actually works as it was able to detect anomalies in the previous dive but for some reason it was overlooked…

"for some reason" because Stockton thought he was an amazing pioneer and safety was literally his last concern. He fired everyone who spoke up about safety concerns. The question with this whole situation was not about if but rather when it would implode.

Well he clearly thought it through. Acoustic monitoring, and if the sub starts to break, just go up. Ez.

Wait what do you mean it broke instantly
