    The Earth is flat and the real reason Titanic sunk was because it fell off the edge. The submarine went too close to the edge and the waterfall flowing off the side caused the submarine to drift over the edge of the world and fall off.

    I’ve just seen a stupid conspiracy theory about this - that the US government knew the sub imploded almost immediately but they went through with the search attempt in order to distract from what’s going on with Hunter Biden right now.

    There is no limit to how dumb these conspiracy theories can get. It would not surprise me if Fox News said that the democrats sabotaged the submersible to prevent them from bringing back Hillary’s emails that had been hidden on the wreck of the Titanic.

    I saw a guy saying it had all been a simulation for the people inside the sub as if the govt faked it and just kidnapped them

    The submarine is staying down there because the pilot knows the Canadian wildfires are going to set the atmosphere on fire. They need to outlast the fire and repopulate the earth with the DNA they found on silverware from Titanic survivors.

    That it went missing due to the controller used. I find it utterly absurd to believe that a submarine of such high caliber could possibly go missing due to a low-grade Mad Catz controller. In my opinion, when you’re dealing with equipment as expensive and sophisticated as a submarine, you’d expect nothing but the most advanced and reliable controls, not some generic gaming joystick. It’s quite a far-fetched conspiracy theory if you ask me.

      I don’t know why people got so fixated on the game controller. Realistically they were just using it to give a computer some USB commands, and these controllers are excellent for that. The real difference between cheap and pricy ones is stuff like latency and better vibration. So no reason not to use the cheap one from a reputable brand

        Not inherently a problem no, but the one they were using was wireless, and apparently reviews were full of connectivity issues. You’d think they’d pick something proven and reliable, like an official wired Xbox controller.

    Some government knows where the sub is, but they can’t tell anyone to not show their actual surveillance capabilites.

      That doesn’t sound that far fetched at all. I bet US has sacrificed thousands of Ukrainian soldier’s lives just not to disclose their valuable secret reconnaissance capabilities. What difference would four more people in a submarine do to change their mind?

    The missing Titanic submarine was actually a covert operation by Russian President Vladimir Putin to sabotage the Ukrainian gas pipeline project that was being funded by Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, who were on board the sub. Putin hired French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, who had previously explored the Titanic wreck, to plant explosives on the pipeline that runs near the Titanic site. However, the plan went wrong when British billionaire Hamish Harding, who had recently traveled to space with Jeff Bezos, discovered the plot and tried to stop it. A fight ensued inside the sub, causing it to lose contact with the surface and sink deeper into the ocean. The other passenger, Stockton Rush, founder of OceanGate Expeditions, was an innocent bystander who got caught in the crossfire. The sub is now lying at the bottom of the Atlantic, with all five passengers either dead or waiting for a miracle rescue.
