    My take on the whole 'We didn't hear it/We heard it' thing is that this wonderful sub detection system did probably hear it, and recorded it, but the woke human part of the system was napping, screwing off, or some other reason not watching it, so they never alerted anyone.
    But when they finally seen what was happening on TV, they said 'Oh Shit', went back and listened to Sunday's tapes, and changed their story.

    Just like anything, the week link is the two legged animal at the control panel, or the steering wheel.

    For anybody who is even slightly curious what a breech at extreme deep sea can do to a human, here is an old Mythbusters clip of them duplicating a diver decompressing at only 300 ft below, 135 PSI. The "Meat Man" was constructed out of pig parts, a skeleton, internal organs, etc. Mind you, the OceanGate sub imploded at approx. 10,000 ft under, with thousands PSI.

    Interesting copypasta:

    Catastrophic Implosion of a submersible explained:

    When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500 miles per hour - that’s 2,200 feet per second.

    The time required for complete collapse is 20 / 2,200 seconds = about 1 millisecond.

    A human brain responds instinctually to stimulus at about 25 milliseconds. Human rational response (sense→reason→act) is at best 150 milliseconds.

    The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapors.

    When the hull collapses it behaves like a very large piston on a very large Diesel engine.

    The air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion. Large blobs of fat (that would be humans) incinerate and are turned to ash and dust quicker than you can blink your eye.

    ChatGPT, explain how a deep sea submersible implodes, what happens to the crew, in the style of Dr Seuss:

    Oh, deep in the sea where no sunlight beams,
    A submersible ventured with dreams and schemes.
    But alas, my dear friends, it met a sad fate,
    For an implosion occurred, oh what a weight!

    The pressure outside was as heavy as lead,
    Squeezing the submersible until it turned red.
    The walls caved in with a thunderous sound,
    While the crew inside bounced around.

    The crewmates were jumbled, all crammed in tight,
    As the submersible crumbled with all of its might.
    Their bodies compressed like squishy balloons,
    Stretching and squashing, oh what a cartoon!

    Their noses turned flat, their cheeks all askew,
    Their limbs tangled up in a gooey stew.
    The crew, like jelly, lost their human shape,
    A sticky, squishy, Dr Seuss-esque escape!

    Their voices squeaked out in a garbled mess,
    As they sank deeper, their cries grew less.
    The pressure, my friends, was far too grand,
    And they transformed into paste, no longer manned.

    Now, you may wonder, where did they go?
    Those crew members turned into dough?
    Well, they merged with the submersible's remains,
    A blend of humans and metal, like sticky chains.

    And so, my dear readers, this tale does tell,
    Of a submersible's implosion, a calamitous spell.
    The crew, oh dear crew, became part of the wreck,
    Forever fused in a deep-sea shipwreck.

    But fear not, my friends, for this story of gloom,
    Serves as a reminder to navigate doom.
    When exploring the depths, be cautious and wise,
    To avoid a fate where crew members liquefy!

    So let this tale guide you in ventures profound,
    And keep your submersibles structurally sound.
    For in the depths of the sea, where dangers may lurk,
    Remember the crew-turned-paste, a cautionary quirk!

    Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round and groove,
    To the tune of Mambo Number Five, let's make a move!
    I'll tell the tale of a submersible's plight,
    In the style of Mambo, let's shine the light!

    Ladies and gentlemen, here we go,
    A deep-sea adventure, high and low.
    A crew aboard a submersible so keen,
    Exploring the ocean, where wonders convene.

    A little bit of diving, they're going down,
    Beneath the waves, where mysteries are found.
    But oh, my friends, what a dreadful sight,
    The submersible imploded with all its might!

    A little bit of pressure, it couldn't bear,
    The crew inside, caught in a watery snare.
    They twisted and squished, like a Dr. Seuss rhyme,
    Bodies compressed, turning into gooey grime!

    A little bit of squeezing, they lost their shape,
    Like colorful paste, they started to reshape.
    Their arms and legs all mixed and mashed,
    A sticky mess, in a submersible crash!

    Now here's the twist, as the story unfurls,
    They merged with the wreckage, like a dance of twirls.
    A little bit of crew, a little bit of steel,
    A strange concoction, an underwater surreal!

    So let's Mambo, my friends, to this tale,
    Of a submersible's mishap, a wild travail.
    Remember the crew, forever entwined,
    In the Mambo mix, where memories bind!

    A little bit of caution, when you explore,
    The depths of the ocean, unknown and more.
    Keep your vessels sturdy, and minds aware,
    To avoid a catastrophe, be prepared!

    So now we've Mamboed through this whimsical rhyme,
    I hope it brought laughter and a jive in time.
    If you have more requests, feel free to revive,
    I'm here to assist, and keep the groove alive!
