    Body Float Information https://www.pawsoflife.org/Library/Trailing Water/body_float_info.pdf

    . Victims that have drowned in 30-40 degree water will not surface until
    water warms.
    2. Victims that are 100 feet or deeper may not surface at all due to the
    combination of pressure and temperature.

    theyre little more than a smear on the walls now. Gone for good. At least they didn’t suffer.

    The bodies are likely in millions of pieces. Those pieces might float?

    Zero chance any part of any of them ever makes it to the surface.

    James Cameron was on CNN saying he was almost certain back on Monday that they were all dead. I had no idea he’s been down even further.

    The Mariana Trench is roughly 4x as deep as the titanic. And it’s been explored in a sub. Check out the video Rick posted a few pages back. Absolutely crazy. Granted they were in a REAL submarine but still.

    I’ve always considered it reggae given Toots role in creating the genre. But good point. Rocksteady might be the best descriptor.

    Robert Palmer has a killer version too.

    My wife told me this.

    Heart wrenching. Kid wanted to be with his dad for Father's day, and his gift, was to accompany his dad on this doomed voyage, in spite of being terrified.

    So damn sad...

    There was some dark humor in earlier posts, but that right there is deep dark humor…

    Dark? It's not even funny if it wasn't tasteless. Immature kiddy crap. Doesn't even qualify for dad jokes. Pathetic.

    Yes, the first young man ever who did something he was scared to do so he wouldn’t lose face in front of his father. :rolleyes:

    He's dead.

    Most kids who do something to please daddy, don't risk their lives for it, let alone die.

    I know you're a courageous soldier quite familiar with the close brushes with death.

    But are you a dad?

    Most sons who do generally aren't risking their life to save face. The fact that he was willing to do something that risky to please his father is on a different level.

    The first few dark jokes earlier in this thread were funny but I’ll admit I winced a bit. Sunday I was a little bothered when the news first broke. Monday and Tuesday I was worried about the expedition. Yesterday I was a little hopeful but had very low expectations for a miracle. Today I resigned myself to the inevitable that was then confirmed by the press conference. Hate it for the families, but the crew knew that they could roll snake eyes. I don’t have a dog in the hunt and I’m over it now. Humor is sometimes needed in dire circumstances, Hell, humor helped me through stage 4 cancer; not by itself, but it was an important part of the puzzle. All jokesters are forgiven by me, including myself for my own “deep” addition.
