OceanGate’s Titan submersible went missing on Sunday as it headed toward the famous Titanic undersea wreckage.
On Thursday, it was announced that the sub had suffered a “catastrophic implosion,” instantly killing all five passengers.
Search and rescue efforts throughout the week involved enormous naval efforts from multiple countries, news of which was covered nonstop by mainstream media.
However, a top-secret U.S. Navy acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard the Titan sub implosion just hours after the submersible began its Sunday mission, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
The sound occurred in the area the doomed submarine is suspected to have been destroyed.
“The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, according to a U.S. defense official,” WSJ details. “Shortly after its disappearance, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the commander on site.”
“The U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost.”
Moreover, CNN reported that as of three days ago, Tuesday, Biden had been “watching events closely” surrounding the missing submersible.
White House’s spokesperson John Kirby said at the time, “All of us, including the President express our thoughts to the crew on board, as well as to the no doubt worried family members back on shore.”
Commenting on the timeline, Journalist Miranda Devine told her Twitter followers that the Biden administration “knew the Titan submarine imploded Sunday” but “waited until [Thursday] to make it public.”
“Convenient smokescreen for today’s House Ways & Means release of IRS whistleblower testimony of DOJ sabotage of the Hunter Biden investigation,” she tweeted.
Devine was referring to a U.S. House Ways and Means Committee executive meeting that had resulted in a vote to release a whistleblower’s testimony of two different IRS employees who worked directly on the tax evasion case of Hunter Biden, according to a Thursday press release.
“That testimony outlines misconduct and government abuse at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the investigation of Hunter Biden,” the release states.
“The allegations point to a steady campaign of: unequal treatment of enforcing tax law; Department of Justice (DOJ) interference in the form of delays, divulgences, and denials, into the investigation of tax crimes that may have been committed by the President’s son; and finally, retaliation against IRS employees who blew the whistle on the misconduct.”
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) said that the American people “deserve to know that when it comes to criminal enforcement, they are not on the same playing field as the wealthy and politically connected class. The preferential treatment Hunter Biden received would never have been granted to ordinary Americans.”
“Whistleblowers describe how the Biden Justice Department intervened and overstepped in a campaign to protect the son of Joe Biden by delaying, divulging, and denying an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes,” Smith added.
“The testimony shows tactics used by the Justice Department to delay the investigation long enough to reach the statute of limitations, evidence they divulged sensitive actions by the investigative team to Biden’s attorneys, and denied requests by the U.S. Attorney to bring charges against Biden.”
The chairman went on to say that the IRS employees “who blew the whistle on this abuse were retaliated against, despite a commitment IRS Commissioner Werfel made before the Ways and Means Committee to uphold their legal protections. They were removed from this investigation after they responsibly worked through the chain of command to raise these concerns.”
James Cameron, director of the film Titanic, explained why experts in the diving community probably knew the Titan had imploded by Sunday.
Cameron, who explored the Titanic wreckage dozens of times, said he knew the Titan had imploded by Monday and that the rescue was a “prolonged nightmarish charade.”
He was sure of an implosion because the sub had lost its tracking system, which is significant because the “transponder that’s used to track a sub during descent and on the bottom is a fully autonomous system,” he said.
“It’s in its own pressure housing and it has its own battery power. So for them to lose comms and tracking at the same time—the sub was gone. There was no question in my mind.”
Cameron also indicated the “loud bang” heard by the navy occurred at the same time the sub’s communications were lost.
“I knew what happened. The sub imploded,” the director said.
He told the BBC that the search “felt like a prolonged and nightmarish charade where people are running around talking about banging noises and talking about oxygen and all this other stuff.”
“I knew that sub was sitting exactly underneath its last known depth and position. That’s exactly where they found it,” he added.
