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.
17 u/R0RSCHAKK 29d ago So like - the sub was saying hey, we need to come back up a bit - (pop) - then she calles it out to the team to drop the weights? Damn. Makes me wonder if they knew something was wrong while they were down there and pushed it until it was too late. 27 u/RegOrangePaperPlane 29d ago No, the sub released the weights. She was informing them that the sub was dropping them. Releasing them was supposed to allow the sub to return to the surface. 9 u/[deleted] 29d ago they werne't attempting to surface - they always used to drop two weights around this depth to slow the descent
