Meece 1,957 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Sound travels very well through water. But 2 miles down is a long way. Structures within the ship might have exploded a d crushed on the way down. Also various temperature zones on the way down would affect the ability for any sound to get up. Probably not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yea when you think about it that's a long way down! Also shows how insignificant we really are compared to the ocean's. Biggest man made ship in its time. Maiden voyage and it just disappeared to the depths. Another thing hard to imagine is the loss of 1500 souls. Have to admire the men back then though. Some of the richest in the world refused to go in lifeboats and gave up their seat to women and kids went down with dignity. Wonder how that would compare today. Can't imagine the trump's and Blair's etc etc doing that. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently is was measured to a depth of almost 7 miles. Ended up looking into all sorts of crazy facts about the earth last night. But 7 miles deep is just unimaginable. I thought the deepest bit would be about 2 miles. check out the maurina trench, think that's the deepest there is and the us I think may have sent a sub to it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,396 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I think at that depth your going to struggle to hear it hitting the bottom but the boilers etc would be exploding on the way down and maybe that's what they heard ?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 9,172 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 lol no but its the deepest place there is, unless theyre looking for megatron who lies in a secret location even deeper that a jocks pockets 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
