The US military heard it and didn’t necessarily want to give away capability of listening devices around the sea floor.

The sub was difficult to get to the debris field because it was at an incredibly deep section that few craft are capable of reaching safely.
It was frustrating they made a big deal about something we ultimately could have done nothing about in the first place. However it’s not like the whole “hearing the implosion” thing was something the military wanted to give away and at that depth we have to be careful. Don’t forget we’ve put more people into space than have been to the deepest point on the planet.
So why did they reveal that info after if it was so sensitive? I wouldn’t have thought that would have changed anything. I also have vague memories of reports of a “sound” being detected early on but then not mentioned again until after. Then again my memory is trash so I dunno
No. They heard it at the surface. You hear the equivalent of hundreds of pounds of explosives going off within a few thousand feet. It probably even vibrated the boat a bit.
It was the equivalent of a massive depth charge. They heard it at the surface near by unless the entire crew was sound asleep.
Source for all that please, I’m interested.

Definitely thought this was talking about a subreddit and I got real confused there for a minute 😅
It isn’t? I’m still confused what else a “sub” could be in this context…
Edit: after reading more it’s “submarine”, I’ve spent way too much time on Reddit.
A submarine. You remember the rich maniac who wanted to see the titanic wreck and didn’t apply to any safety regulations since it’s international water
*submersible
Submersibles, unlike submarines, have to be transported to where they are going to operate by a different vessel.
yeah still getting used to lemmy, months later
Send more billionaires to see the boat.
Tell them it is a tax haven
A tax haven is the closest to heaven they will ever get.
Did you know that property transfers below 12000ft are non-taxable? Few people know that tax laws have a little glitch where they do not apply below 12000ft.
What I want to know about that accident is, which idiot kept spreading the lie that the search teams were hearing “banging noises” every half hour, long after the sub had imploded.
Somebody was doing a little trolling
Where’s the meme
sigh “Pepperidge farm remembers” (sad voice)
Remember when there was a boat full of migrants that sank around the same time and nobody in power gave half a shit about it even though it would’ve been way easier to locate and rescue those people?
Corporate media moment, dry humping us for ad revenue
I mostly remember the non-stop memes from the moment they went missing.
Good times.
Controller disconnected.
And they were searching every fuckin where but the spot they went down
They weren’t searching anywhere at all, because they didn’t have a suitable submersible available. They were looking on the surface in case they popped up, but once the remote submersible got there, they went straight down to the wreck.
Easy there, you’re overthinking this /s
Yeah, Im still wondering if they ever had definitive results from their investigation of the wreckage.
Probably still ongoing, it’s not a fast process typically.
