The sounds were spurious apparently. Was obviously an implosion as they have found the debris. It would’ve happened immediately when they lost contact. Reports have come out that he has admitted cutting corners and that the 7 inch Perspex window had an alarm on it in case it started to concave as i...

Might be difficult for families to sue the sub operator as it seems they signed detailed disclaimers warning that things could go wrong including death. Not sure how much certification was needed to allow passengers on board though. I tend to agree here BUT I would be putting a specialist onto thos...

Thanks for replying.

No worries, there is more coming out of the woodwork as well! Seems the CEO is a bit of a snake oil salesman!

What are they basically saying?

A lot of stories coming out about safety etc, the CEO effectively sacked a senior director for trying to insist that the sub was independently inspected prior to launch amongst other things

ClaretDiver

A lot of stories now coming out that do not paint OceanGate (the sub operators) in a very good light!

This could be the turn we need! What a ball by Stokes!

PS - no credit cards involved with any part of the car hire. All cash

Then I suspect it was a dodgy car hire firm in the first place…just pay it, would you refuse to pay it in the UK? Would you moan about a foreigner coming here, driving like crap, getting a fine and dodging it??

On a dive that was supposed to last 8 hours I think we can pretty much conclude that they're well aware that there has been an issue. Agreed! Awful scenario and can’t even imagine what is going through their minds, if they are even still alive! I do hope they are found but it is increasingly unlike...

There again, it is a grave, where hundreds of people gave their lives when the tub went down. Their bodies are still there. Yet people want to pay a stack of cash To go down and do a bit of ogling. It may have been "an adventure", but it's a bit sick, really. It seems worse because of its recency. ...

No bother at all, you are just being professional

I only caught some of it on the BBC earlier that the 5 people onboard might not yet even be aware they are being searched for and unaware of any problems.

I would suggest at this point they will be aware of a problem…whether under water or on the surface…

Report it to who though! We knew what we were doing as we knew from watching people do it in Egypt and St Lucia that you needed to do a proper course and we never got around to it Took a risk because I'd always wanted to do it - box ticked!

Of course, I've scuba dived in Turkey (where health and safety are very clearly optional) - ended up with me and the instructor sharing a respirator on the top of sunken wreck as my air tank ran dry Truly hoping you reported this as that should NEVER happen… Christ on a bike if it ever did where I ...

I don’t think we can start deciding who should be rescued and who shouldn’t. Do we not rescue anyone who is doing leisure activities on the sea? Divers, swimmers, fishing trips etc. I understand , given the money involved that you’d feel this way and I agree that they should do the right thing and ...

The same organisation that saves anyone who is in peril on the seas I’d imagine. But that shouldn’t be the case and there should be some kind of insurances in place. However, as I have already pointed out, this craft is not approved by any regulatory body and so I hope and pray they get them out bu...

I have considerable sympathy for the homeowners who are struggling right now to keep food on the table and ultimately a roof over their heads. The people I don’t have sympathy for is those who have 1 or several buy to let mortgages. These people are mainly responsible for rental prices increasing a...

The frightening thing about all of this is that the sun is not even approved by any worldwide regulatory body and that paying customers have to sign a waiver giving up all their rights should they wish to travel on it…crazy that this has not been shut down before now!

Sky have released 8 of their commentating team! That only leaves 5….cost cutting exercise evidently!

If you're worried about the amount of time that ambulances are taking I'd focus on the bigger picture rather than Just Stop Oil. I was reading the statement from Martin Duffy's (primal scream keyboard player) son on his death and one of the things in there was how they waited about five hours for a...

You do know that they publish where they are going to protest on their website the day before I take it? And I know this is going to be hard to take, but you do realise all of the above happen every single day because of bad weather, road works, accidents etc etc etc And I am sure the first thing o...

So what they've upset a few people not wanting to lose a few minutes travel time. No doubt the black bus protesters in the USA upset other white passengers. No doubt anti apartheid campaigners upset the white minority in SA. No doubt a few race goers were upset when a protester ran in front of the ...

Why are people even questioning Tonys request?? Is it that hard to just accept a request rather than try and be the big ‘I Am’!

I don't know if that is a joke or if you're serious, but the irony is that if you started a protest group about shark finning and it gained a bit of traction, I'd actually be better informed about what shark finning is and why it's bad. At the moment I know nowt about it, and if it wasn't mentioned...

ClaretDiver

I think I might start up my own protest group….JSSF….Just Stop Shark Finning….believe you me, if this is not tackled seriously in the next decade this will have as far reaching effects as oil production….

I've always thought the message should be more along the lines of "lets try and wean ourselves off oil", surely if we turned the tap off things would stop working pretty quickly.

No more clothes, no more trainers, no more mobile phones etc in their current guise!

If you are referring to the 1 same side as Barclays where that used to be across the road from the big wine shop I think it’s shut down.

That was Chocolate Box, think there is one opposite Boots in the centre
