| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The version of the Spanish expert Jose Luis Martin that the passengers of the Titan deep-sea submersible did not die immediately, as they fell on top of each other due to the fact that this ship began to "like an arrow" vertically sink to the bottom, does not hold water. This was stated on July 12 by Russian submarine experts interviewed by a Regnum correspondent. So, according to the historian of the submarine fleet, captain of the 1st rank, officer of the submarine fleet Nikolai Cherkashin, such versions do not inspire any confidence and are designed to "squeeze a tear" from a gullible public. He categorically criticized the reasoning of the Spanish expert, who believes that the "Titan" turned into a vertical position due to a power failure. “The death happened in seconds. And there were no worries or tears. The passengers did not even understand what had happened. They sat and suddenly disappeared. Fraction of a second! The device was shattered into pieces. No facts indicate that the apparatus had any problems with the power supply. It's not about the power supply, but about the strength of the case itself. In addition, the shape of the apparatus, which was not suitable for such dives, was chosen - cylindrical instead of spherical,” Cherkashin stated. Even more skeptical of this version was Evgeny Chernyaev, the hero of Russia, the commander of the Mir-2 deep-sea vehicle of the laboratory for the scientific operation of deep-sea manned vehicles of the P. I. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. “This is complete nonsense. Where would he get the ballast to make the apparatus "sink like an arrow"? And why should he stand upright? The device maintains its position in the water not at the expense of electricity. It must be balanced in advance,” Chernyaev said. He does not inspire confidence in the explanation that all the people gathered near the front porthole and thereby created such a load, which turned the Titan into a vertical position. According to him, if you take into account the size of the apparatus, it becomes clear that its passengers could not crowd in one part of it. "And even if he stood upright, his speed would change by 10-15 meters. In a minute! What arrow?" the expert was outraged. Developing this idea, Chernyaev stated that the Titan's hull was not designed for such depths and could not be used as a manned vehicle. He did not pass the normal tests. According to him, simply lowering the device to a depth is not a test. It must be carried out in a special chamber, when the entire body is equipped with sensors that show at which point which deflection. As for whether the passengers of the Titan could understand what was happening, Chernyaev admitted that before everything happened, they could hear some sounds, such as grinding. But people still would not have had time to understand what was happening, since the process very quickly "acquired an avalanche-like character." Earlier, IA Regnum reported that, according to the version of Jose Luis Martin, millionaires on the Titan, a few minutes before their death in pitch darkness, fell like a stone to the bottom along with the device that had lost control and realized that they were dying. The underwater vehicle of OceanGate Expedition, designed to deliver tourists to the site of the sinking of the Titanic, disappeared on June 18 in the Atlantic Ocean. Communication with him was lost less than two hours after the dive. Five people were on board: OceanGate Expeditions founder Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman and billionaire Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleiman, and French aquanaut Paul-Henri Narjolet. The wreckage was discovered a few days later at a depth of 3,800 meters. To date, OceanGate has suspended all research and commercial operations. More from regnum.ru Spanish expert Martin said that the billionaires on the bathyscaphe "Titan" did not die immediately [Regnum] Millionaires on the bathyscaphe "Titan" did not die immediately. For a whole minute in pitch darkness, people fell like a stone to the bottom along with the Titan that had lost control, realizing that they were dying. This was reported by the British daily newspaper Daily Mail, according to Spanish submarine expert José Luis Martín . “Imagine the horror, fear and agony. It must have been like a horror movie,” Martin said. The expert suggested that an electrical failure left the submersible without movement, as a result of which the Titan changed position and fell like an arrow, vertically, with the porthole down. In this case, the fall lasted from 48 to 71 seconds. After those 48 seconds, or one minute, there was an explosion. Martin compared the explosion to "piercing a balloon" and said that it was caused not only by the great depth, but also by a sudden increase in pressure. As IA Regnum reported, the bathyscaphe of the OceanGate Expedition company, designed to deliver tourists to the site of the sinking of the Titanic, disappeared on June 18 in the Atlantic Ocean. Communication with him was lost less than two hours after the dive. Five people were on board: OceanGate Expeditions founder Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding , Pakistani businessman and billionaire Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleiman, and French aquanaut Paul-Henri Narjolet . The wreckage of the bathyscaphe was found a few days later during searches at a depth of 3.8 thousand meters. Later, various hypotheses began to appear as to what caused the incident. So, Professor of Florida International University Eileen Maria Marty noted that the destruction of the body of the apparatus occurred in just a fraction of a millisecond. The historian of the submarine fleet, captain of the 1st rank, officer of the submarine fleet Nikolai Cherkashin suggested that faulty batteries became the cause of the explosion on the Titan. One of the creators of the Mir deep-sea manned submersibles, Hero of Russia Anatoly Sagalevich, suggested that the Titan hull most likely collapsed. Jasper Graham-Jones, an associate professor at the University of Plymouth, said the cause of the explosion could be microcracks that appeared from water pressure during regular diving. Chris Roman, professor at the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island (USA), adheres to the same version. Former Royal Navy submarine captain Ryan Ramsey suggested that one of the possible causes of the disaster was the erroneously designed bathyscaphe hull. The company OceanGate Expeditions, which organized the dive of the Titan, continued to invite guests to tours to the ship that sank in the Atlantic. Those who wish are invited to choose one of two expeditions to the bottom of the Atlantic: from June 12 to 20 and from June 21 to 29, 2024. The cost of one seat in the bathyscaphe is $250,000.
