A top secret military acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard what the U.S. Navy suspected was the Titan submersible implosion hours after the vehicle began its mission, officials involved in the search said.
The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, according to a U.S. defense official. Shortly after the submersible’s disappearance Sunday, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the commander on site, U.S. defense officials said.

“The U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,” a senior U.S. Navy official told The Wall Street Journal in a statement. “While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.”
The Navy asked that the specific system used not be named, citing national security concerns.

Agreed. But, I'm not really sure what he's saying when he says that within the community, they understand that there was an emergency ascent going on. How would they know this? Just a supposition maybe?

My guess - he prob knows a bunch of people involved in the SAR since that's a small community and people are sharing stuff with him and others they are buddies with privately.

It is going to be very interesting if the truth of who new what and when is eventually revealed.

 

[Tassi Devil Diver]

Will be very interesting to hear @Subfiend take on this most tragic incident.

 

[Gone for diving]

Look on the bright side,

Everyone got to test their high tech toys,


Military, ROV's, sonar, etc,

Had this been communicated earlier, they would have stopped wasting our tax $$$ to do the surface search, chasing false tank banging sound and just get right to find the debris field right next to the Titanic.

Like “accidents and incidents” where some people know the deets and let you know they know, but don’t deliver the info. Except good guy Cameron delivers.

Will be very interesting to hear @Subfiend take on this most tragic incident.

He is a lawyer for OceanGate and was scheduled to make this dive before life got in his way. I doubt he will tell us much.

So, what? You’d have told folks that there was no hope?

Was the timing of finding the wreckage peculiar, maybe? Perhaps just after hope was lost?
