CHILLING WORDS..."The deep sea “accounts for over 95 percent of Earth’s living space” and remains largely unexplored, according to the Smithsonian Ocean Portal. And only about 23% of the seafloor has been mapped, according to 2022 figures from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Human engineering and exploration of the deep ocean are limited by harsh conditions, such as increased water pressure, darkness and extremely cold temperatures — placing any deep sea mission at high risk.
“Light is virtually absent in the deep ocean,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Habitats found in the deep sea are vastly different from other Earth environments and life below the surface have uniquely evolved to survive unforgiving conditions."
AND BY THE WAY...Our Navy knew the thing blew up within two hours of its' decent. And notified the Coast Guard...
It has emerged the US Navy had detected a sound consistent with an implosion when communications were lost with the Titan, an hour and 45 minutes into its two-hour descent to the wreckage, on Sunday.
The Navy analysed its acoustic data and found an anomaly that was “consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost”, a senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Associated Press on Thursday.
According to reports, the information was shared with the US Coast Guard, which decided to continue the search operation and “make every effort to save the lives on board”.
