![[-] lonegungrrly 272 points 7 days ago Points to true: • Accurate to the photos seen of the comms • at a quarter power the 2 hour journey would take 8 hours to return to the surface which is how long the topside waited before reporting • Rush having issues removing the ballasts shocker. Probably had never been tested at that depth. • there is apparently a Carlos the engineer who works for Oceangate found on LinkedIn • James Cameron etc must have had something to go on to say they had dropped ballasts and were trying to ascend • it is an unprofessional shambles so definitely in keeping with OceanGate • either a very well researched hoax or real Points to it being fake: • people are doks permalink source embed save save-RES report give award reply hide child comments [-] BreakfastUnique8091 78 points 7 days ago I see your point for sure. This is way more convincing than some of the other instantly recognizable fakes, but I'm still not buying it as a lot of the strengths you list could be: 1. Someone seeing a photo of the comms and recreating the format 2. Knowing OceanGate was unprofessional and had frequent issues and so adding that into the transcript 3. Seeing how other people criticized fake transcripts and adjusting theirs accordingly 4. Hearing James Cameron's statements about this and writing accordingly 5. Looking at the LinkedIn page to add some flavour of truth to this Like I just think the very fact we can corroborate this with public sources equally points to the possibility that someone took a couple hours and used these same sources to cobble something together for attention. permalink source embed save save-RES parent report give award reply hide child comments](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/618/120/131.png)
