The sudden lose of communication to me screams catastrophic structural failure..
In which case, there wouldn't even be time to scream…
It wasn’t really sudden. Best they had was text messages that were occurring at a 15 minute interval. They stopped 1:45 into the dive.
They waited until 30 minutes after they were supposed to be back to report it missing (which I think is standard)
They had two communication systems. They had the text messaging and an automated "ping" that went every 15 minutes. Both stopped suddenly at 1:45.
