Underwater microphones designed to detect enemy submarines first detected Titan tragedy.

I suppose there was some discussion on whether to conceal or reveal the tech and that’s why we’ve only heard of this now.

All this while I was thinking the billionaires are going to die because search and rescue operations in any state experiencing a period of fascism are more focused on pushing boats back out to sea.

Not doing actual rescues, that would build experience, test out gear, and maybe even invent new contraptions for future rescues.

Karma, if you like.

We get it.

You want to be edgy because you can't imagine how the resources spent and trained in a submarine rescue operation are completely different than the ones that would be useful in a surface ship rescue operation. Nor how resources stationed for North Atlantic operations wouldn't be able to reach the Mediterranean anywhere soon enough.

Or how "pushing boats back out" would be coastal work and that has virtually zero relation to open sea.

But you enjoyed watching these humans die because they're billionaires instead of refugees. You don't care about human life, you just care about political point scoring.
