    Probably the second best news their families could have had. They wouldn't have known a thing.

    Sorry lads you'll have to go on this Everest trip without me ...

    ... I went out for a farewell beer and got myself lost.

    We all have to go sometime but that's a terrible way to leave the world ...

    ... and, if the craft has totally disintegrated, they may never be found.

    Rather that than to have spent the last 4 days (in darkness?) waiting for my oxygen to run out.

    That's a very good point mate.

    Also as I said earlier these people, and possibly the Canadian authorities, will be sued to oblivion. It's all very well having a contract but, if it was constructed as well as the submarine, it won't take much pressure before it buckles.

    Looks like they are gone. RIP to them, only consolation is it sounds like it would have been quick. Couldn't imagine what it would have been like sitting on the bottom of the ocean waiting for the oxygen to run out.

    Best news for the relatives. They were bever getting back and the end would have been instant.

    Sympathy for the young lad mind. Who in God's name would risk their own son in a shaky enterprise like that?

    The only consolation is that the season hasn't started yet ...

    ... and we might just get away without a minute's silence before the first game.

    What I don't understand is that a couple of days ago they heard tapping sounds which they said was Morse code for SOS.
    If it was an implosion...that doesn't make sense.

    Looks like the sounds were unconnected.

    You make a good point and, yes, this will soon turn into another 9/11.

    'Did they claim they heard noises to prolong their involvement/fee.'

    ''Are the Russians involved.'

    'Have they faked their own death and gone to live in Seaton Carew.'

    Not saying you are in any way ...

    ... just speculating about how this will pan out.
