Actually a decent thread from the start. Do you trolls every think about what you are doing with your life?

Don't forget the hatch is sealed from the oustide. That means even if they are currently on the suface, they still can not open and receive more oxygen

EDIT: I am unable to confirm that these are sounds detected more recently than those detected yesterday. Checking headlines, and perhaps this pop-up on my cell-phone screen was old news. Sorry but hoping for the best.
Yup, “more sounds heard”. Sounds positive.
Yes, from the article: "Search vessels were redirected Tuesday after "multiple" aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area. Navy specialists were studying the sounds, which were heard again Wednesday, he said."

This isn't an airline, it's home made submersible that hasn't been accredited by any engineering authority anywhere in the world. He didn't want Nobel Prize winning engineers because the dude's got an ego larger than his bank balance and thinks he's clever enough himself. Nothing to do with quotas, he's a cowboy that'll hire and fire who he wants.

This is depressing and scary to think about. This is absolutely, positively something I would never do. Jeez, I'm afraid to step aboard a skateboard, let alone a board ship on basically its maiden voyage.

His exact quote was: "When I started the business, one of the things you’ll find, there are other sub operators out there, but they typically have gentlemen who are ex-military sub-mariners, and they — you’ll see a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys. I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational."
I'm sure the 18 year old that's currently dying a slow horrific death at the bottom of the Atlantic wishes there were more 50 year old white guys involved right about now.

I just learned that a manned submersible, the Trieste, went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the 1960s. Depth of over 36,000 feet. It is insane that anything can handle that level of pressure.

Yep, 23 January 1960.

But it was designed by white men. Therefore, the record shouldn’t count as it’s racist.

David Pogue, a tech journalist who’s taken the Titan ride and sounds like he knows what he’s talking about makes a case at 8:09 that it was pretty hopeless even as of Sunday based on the nature of signal loss.

In all likelihood, more noises =
a) it's a big ocean full of noises. Seek and ye will find noises anywhere, anytime
b) the whales are still having their way with the sub
It is known for sure that whales have been attacking ships lately.This post was edited 7 minutes after it was posted. Reason provided: we tried to kill them all! They hate us.64 -

Agreed - if you just open your ears in the ocean you hear a lot of stuff. No way "noises" is indicative of the sub.

Periodic banging noises every 30 minutes indicates a higher degree of entropy than is typical in nature.

US official said in recent interview that the noises were heard today and yesterday but he also said that they are not in 30 minute intervals

He didn't want experienced submariners because they bring all that pesky red tape with them. What he's also quoted as saying is that existing regulatory bodies are "an anathema to rapid innovation" who have "slowed down innovation". He doesn't sound like a quotas guy, quite the oppose, he sounds arrogant and like he has no respect for any rules.
He's a mini-Musk - get rid of those old, slow government agencies and being in ME with my ineffective pals and touchscreen control pads. He even quotes SpaceX and Blue Origin as contemporaries.
The former head of safety was fired because he was a whistleblower, not because he was a white 50 year old.

Link? Most reports I can find say they were periodic in 30 min intervals first and then similar noises were heard again four hours later.

My favorite thing about posts like this is that they get massively downvoted by people who absolutely think that way at least some of the time, or by people who are so naive as to think nobody thinks this way. They'll never admit it, but your post wouldn't even be possible if it didn't imitate the kind of claim people really make nowadays, with only a slight amount of exaggeration if any.
