Titanic tourist sub goes missing sparking search

Regardless of how respected and qualified he certainly is, that does not grant him access to classified intel without clearance. But if there are unclassified sources, that provides a plausible explanation.

What's classified about any of this?

What's classified about any of this?

Wouldn't you think that data from the SOSUS network, which exists to track movements of foreign submarines, are classified?

No. We (French) saved the Americans from speaking proper English.

I have some surplus French army rifles for sale. Never fired and dropped only dropped once.

Not to be gross or in sensitive,
But would there be anything left of the passengers to find?

How it works and where it's located but not that it heard the implosion of a private vessel.

All data gathered are classified until they are reviewed and declassified by someone with the appropriate authority. If that happened within a few hours, I would be surprised but, once again, it would provide an explanation.

A couple issues with that. They could've easily told the public about the likely result and continued the search until they had confirmation. Second is that we got the reporting of the banging on sonabuoys almost instantly after it was heard. Which likely turned out to be oceanic background noise, or the Titanic collapsing.

I think when you are a situation like this, it often feels safer to say nothing until you confirm.

You get less blame for getting it wrong after silence than getting it wrong after opening your mouth.

Also you’d need to go through the chain of command before to release information.

The English tried to teach the Americans to speak English but largely failed…

 

[BoltSnap]

we saved Europe from speaking German.

You just don't want to learn foreign language and don't want others to also.
