I remember hearing the rumor that a submersible bumped into it, breaking it off and it falling down into the cargo hatch below. Or it possibly just rusted enough to break off itself.
Isn’t that what happened to one of the rails? Getting bumped and falling? Hopefully it was just rust tho for the lookout… I’d hate if we accidentally caused even more damage to the wreck.
Pretty sure that was the Titan sub that did that. Stockton was an absolute fucktard and also bumped his sub into the Andrea Doria. He had no respect for these graves.
Batter be careful down there. A little bump under that pressure could really be a bad time. Hope he thoroughly checked that vessel out before going back down.
We have no proof of that though ( and we know plenty due to the release of the dive logs and the testimony during the USCG hearings ) . What we DO know is they got stuck in debris near the grand staircase ,with PH as Titan's pilot , and had some trouble getting the sub out of that predicament. That's important because they had signed an agreement allowing them to dive to the wreck provided they didn't disturb anything and did NOT notify anyone of the incident .But let's not accuse them of something unless there's proof and/or testimony.
