"catastrophic loss of pressure"?

Wouldn't it be a catastrophic increase of pressure? They were at the bottom of the ocean.

Yes? I want to agree, it's an increase of pressure from the surrounding waters.

Nice going with the breaking report. At least they went painlessly.

The hubris of CEO Stockton Rush caused the death of 4 other people.

It's sad but ultimately this is the kind of thing that can happen when you explore the frontiers of humanity's reach. People die every year climbing Mount Everest. It's inevitable that space tourism will eventually result in tragic accidents. I applaud these people for their bravery and passion to push forward the means by which we explore our world. I hope that future explorers are able to learn from the mistakes that were made and that future endeavors will be safer because of it.

Hmm I wonder what were the tapping sounds that were detected by sonar in 30min intervals then. So sad.

Apparently it may have been the Titanic itself shifting.
