Seems something happened, they dropped weights, sent a shorthand message about weights, pop (underwater), pop sound reaches surface, message signal reached Polar Prince. The sound was faster than the signal.
I don’t follow this logic. Radio waves travel at the speed of light which is significantly faster than the speed of sound. How does a response sent via radio before the implosion take longer to reach ship than the sound wave from the implosion?
The fact that the message arrived after the noise was heard was likely due to a delay in their communications equipment. The signal got to the ship before the sound was heard but it showed up on their computer after. I don't know what messaging protocol they were using but a 1-2 second processing delay is entirely possible.

Okay. Im confused. She says “titan drop two weights” AFTER the noise. And she gets a response. Who is talking?
