Your escape to reality.

Hello and welcome to the skeptics guide to the universe.

Today is Thursday June 22nd, 2023, and this is your host, Steven Novela.

During the minutes week, our Bob Novela, Kera Santa Maria, Jane Novela, and Evan Bernstein.

Good evening everyone.

So the big news this week is the story I've actually been following in real time all week

is the loss of the submersible Titan, which was a private submersible that took five people

on the attempt to view the wreck of the Titanic, right?

One pilot in four passengers.

And I'm just supposed to say that we just learned fairly recently as we're recording

the show that they determined that the submersible met with a catastrophic implosion and the

debris, like two separate debris fields were found with the pieces of the sub consistent

with this catastrophic implosion and that's unsurvivable at that depth.

Very close to 1,600 feet from the wreckage of the Titanic.

Which is the only reason they found it because it was close to the Titanic.

They had something to sort of work around at some point in the vastness.

So it's kind of like they got down there and then catastrophe happened.

Well, that's where the debris ended up.

Right, yeah, you're right.

You're in a bump.

You don't know how high.
