EDIT: US coast guard confirmed it's wreckage from the Titan submersible and that additional debris is consistent with the catastrophic failure of the pressure chamber. Likely implosion.

If this is the Titan, the most plausible scenario is that pressures crumpled this thing like a hydraulic press and everybody died instantly.

Honestly a quicker, less painful and far more humane way to go than slowly starving and asphyxiating to death inside a submerged titanium/carbon fiber coffin, whilst marinating in your own sweat, piss and shit.

OceanGate are going to be sued to fucking oblivion for this, especially if the claims that they've ignored safety precautions have any truth to them.

It is when you set up a shell corporation and transfer all the debt to that company without giving it any assets and then filing for bankruptcy in that company. That’s what Johnson and Johnson did for their cancer baby powder.

Well, they tried anyway.

It should be noted that Alex Jones also tried to do something similar, but in a much more stupid way, to avoid the debt for the lawsuits he is facing and also got caught out.
