The whole thing seems like bs to me - as a diversion, and-or as a way for someone to disappear. A group that is elitist, panders to young people, probably headed by pedos. The limits of the sub, how quickly it went missing, and they dont have a clue or even sufficient radar or recovery capabilities... and the ballast is set to be automatically released after 24 hours so the vehicle would resurface -- but didnt? The ballast does seem small in relation to the sub in the pics. okay sure (Timer can probably be overridden or reset).

Ghislaine putzed all over the world in submersibles and tiny submarines - some think she transported children in such manner. Her sub waasnt tethered.

I wonder... If a submersible can travel at 3.4 mph or 3 knots ... and communication was lost at about 1 hour and 45 minutes. If the submersible descended only a few feet and immediately motivated away from the launch vessel, communication would have been lost at about 6 miles. Moreover, if it was close to the surface, they could possible resurface and replenish oxygen, not be dying. If less ballast and more batteries were added, who knows how far it could go. They could be picked up, or reach land. If they did this for 4 days they could go almost 400 miles already.

Then again, maybe it is being faked- Oceangate consulted with NASA [fake moon landing] and the Titan is not tethered, supposedly has 96 hours of oxygen for 5 people [where are those huge heavy oxygen tanks??] and guide it with a game controller like a drone and used off the shelf fixtures like a camperworld light.

ONE THING FOR SURE - it is a distraction to both the public AND I am sure massive use and diversion of Coast Guard and other search assets not doing their usual patrolling of the coast.
