Last year, a purported transcript of communications between the Titan submersible and its mother ship circulated widely on the internet.
But the head of the U.S. federal government team investigating the disaster said that the entire transcript is a fiction.
Two miles down, where seawater exerts vast pressures, an implosion would have made the violent collapse of the vehicle’s hull instantaneous.
Despite the log’s air of authenticity, the federal team saw through the pretense for a variety of reasons.
Significantly, Mr. Neubauer’s team gained access to the records of the actual communications between the submersible and its mother ship, which remain an undisclosed part of the federal investigation.
