Titan submersible communication logs were fake, investigation finds

It has been less than a year since a frantic search was launched to find the the ill-fated Titan submersible, which it was later discovered imploded during its journey to the Titanic, killing all five of its passengers.

Now, the U.S. Coast Guard has determined a communication log between the vessel and its mothership was fake.

The widely-shared transcript suggested the submersible crew struggled to return to the surface.

Kyle Benning has more on this unexpected new finding as the investigation into the submersible continues, and the billionaire who is now planning his own journey to the Titanic.

I just came here to read the opinions of the YouTube submersible professionals.

Giving "False Evidence" is a Very Serious Crime.

It's a bit misleading to have the phrase "communication logs" in the title when it was only ever a fictional transcript that someone typed up to cause excitement on a discussion forum.

Canada should be suing the company to recover the costs of the “rescue” operation.

They had no communication with the surface at all. There was no wired or wireless communications devices on board that death trap.

Next you’re going to say the controller wasn’t even Logitech! Probably Madkatz with a Logitech sticker

[GoodToGoIndustries]

Why would they fake having a communication link with the submersible? Is it so they don't look completely negligent?

[raymiller]

This story just keeps getting... Deeper.

I'll show myself out.

I bet the truth is more grim than we were lead to believe..

So this new guy is riding a giant staple gun to the bottom of the ocean?

"Wow so tragic, btw we're doing it again"

[sundragon]

Should we be surprised that the com logs are false? It's like tossing another log on a roaring fire.

[CaseyReads]

I thought it was already known that those transcripts were fake

[DunDun-e]

Well, this is another level if the log are falsified

[danielk]

"Lets do it again"
Just leave the titanic alone

[postminchoppa]

Can we encourage more billionaires to go down there please

[jaytc]

By all indications this whole thing was bad from A to Z. Bad building techniques, off-the-shelf parts, no serious testing, and no independent oversight or inspections. Is it any wonder that this thing failed? And now we're hearing that logs were falsified? Somebody seriously needs to be in a jail cell.

His face looks like he came from the deep ocean 😂
