Thanks. Every other news item seems to indicate a transit time of 2:30mins actually but good enough. We don’t know when exactly a failure warning was generated - at 1:45 or before, hence some unknown variables about actual depth of implosion…Crude math: 12,000 feet and I think they said 2 hours to get down.
12,000/120 = 100'/min
1.74x60x100 = 10,500 feet is maybe the depth
As to why 1,600 feet away? Currents maybe...
I had to Google thatLMGTFY

If it's TRUE they were on their way up to the surface.
Is it possible with carbon fiber, that it was slowly crumpling? That's why it was not as definite a loud bang?
I kind wonder in the military is just saying that to down play their capabilities
I guess the Admiral has never worked in materials lab before.It didn't go "bang", it went "crinkle".... Think beer can in a view, not strapped to a cherry bomb...
You need to work in a materials lab to appreciate the energy release of a crush...
oh god, i hope not.James Cameron told Anderson Cooper during the CNN interview posted up thread, that Titan dropped ballast (perhaps the crew heard the crack) and started to ascend before the implosion took place.
