I remember the art of crafting the perfect google search query and knowing you'd eventually find that obscure bit of info. Now I have to quote nearly everything in my query and if a single result in the first 100 results is tangentially related, I'm grateful.
Just saw what the AP reported:
The Navy went back and analyzed its acoustic data after the Titan submersible was reported missing Sunday. That anomaly was ‘consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,’ according to the senior Navy official. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive acoustic detection system. The Navy passed on the information to the Coast Guard, which continued its search.
Seems like a more accurate analysis.
I'm guessing it was just a coincidence between the 96 hour mark and when the capable ROVs finally arrived on site. They deployed the ROV that discovered the debris in the early AM today. Based on the fact that info was already leaking prior to the coast guard announcement, it was probably known for several hours before being made public.
Edit: Yeah, they probably had reasonable suspicion that the sub was gone. But until they had evidence, continuing search and rescue seems like the prudent thing to do.
The article states that they've been lost before, but that they still had contact with the surface. Sounds like this is the first time comms has been lost.
Don't forget to enter "cut data" mode first.

Love stuff like this! This site still has a listing of a bunch of them https://tinyapps.org/system.html
I specifically remember http://www.menuetos.net/index.htm It's still being maintained!
Damn. You were pretty reasonable. Didn't even invert the colors on every page.
One doesn't even need to "win" if they're all interoperable. Kinda like picking your favorite 3rd party Reddit app. Reading and replying to you from Kbin right now, actually.
I hope Gen Z never forgets this.
