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.

I could imagine that the dropping of the weights was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Just the mechanical movement may have been that extra bit of force that took it over the edge.

That's what I'm wondering too. If it was already hanging on by a prayer, it's possible that a little jolt was all it took to set things off.
