What John said, and another possibility is that WWII was so long ago, people forget. Not everyone, but more and more people born every day who never learn about it.

I try to inspire Numbah One Son to read history. He has no desire. The tech in WWII was so primitive! Or something. I dunno.

But he wouldn't recognize SS lightning bolts.

I would argue any person of any age should as many of the Nazi symbols are still used as tattoos. I'd want to know if someone's ink means they're likely a Nazi/white supremacist/whatever.

Because the (name of symbol) also continues to be used by non-racists, typically adherents of neo-pagan religions, one should not simply assume that a particular use of this symbol is racist, but should carefully judge it in its context.

Nearly three weeks after its submersible vessel Titan imploded, killing all five people on board, OceanGate is suspending all exploration and commercial operations.

The organization posted on its website on Thursday that it would no longer be sending individuals down to the wreckage of the Titanic, or elsewhere.

OceanGate suspends operations after Titan submersible implosion

Organization will no longer send individuals down to Titanic wreckage or elsewhere after five killed on sub

Was the Titan Sub's Text Message 'Transcript' or 'Log' Released?
Social media users appeared to be taking the viral "log" at face value, despite there being no evidence of its authenticity.

Claim:
A transcript shared online documents the final text message communications from the Titan submersible.
Rating:
False

About this rating

In early July 2023, TikTok and YouTube users published videos promoting what they referred to as a "transcript" or "log" of the final text message communications from OceanGate Expeditions' Titan submersible.

On the morning of June 18, the Titan (which technically was a submersible and not a submarine) lost communication with the Canadian research icebreaker Polar Prince shortly after beginning its descent to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. Five passengers, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, were on board when the sub apparently imploded on the same morning, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

When this article was first published (archived), our findings were inconclusive. Initially, we were not able to determine if the transcript was real or fake. As such, we rated the claim as "Unproven." However, on July 12, we updated the rating to "False," thanks to new insight sent to us from "CBS This Morning" correspondent David Pogue, who had spent time documenting the OceanGate crew and the Titan in July 2022. Pogue's detailed message to us appears near the end of this story and contains key insight regarding this matter.

In what follows, we'll detail everything we know about this subject, including a picture of the Titan's laminated short codes, video of what text message communications looked like on the screen inside the Titan, Pogue's credentialed thoughts on the rumor, as well as the discredited transcript itself. We'll also lay out how thoughts from film director James Cameron aligned with what appeared in the messages that were being shared online.

US Coast Guard recovers remaining parts from imploded Titan submersible
Titan imploded as it made its descent into North Atlantic ocean to explore the wreck of the Titanic on 18 June

The US Coast Guard has recovered remaining debris from a submersible that imploded on its way to explore the wreck of the Titanic, killing all five onboard, deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean’s surface, officials said Tuesday.

The salvage mission conducted under an agreement with the US navy was a follow-up to initial recovery operations on the ocean floor roughly 1,600ft (488 meters) away from the Titanic, the Coast Guard said. It said on Tuesday that the recovery and transfer of remaining parts was completed last Wednesday, and a photo showed the intact aft portion of the 22-ft (6.7-meter) vessel.

Investigators believe the Titan imploded as it made its descent into deep North Atlantic waters on 18 June.

The multiday search mounted after Titan went silent captured attention around the world. The submersible was attempting to view the British passenger liner that sank in 1912.

The Coast Guard previously said it recovered presumed human remains along with parts of the Titan after the debris field was located at a depth of 12,500 feet (3,800 meters).

The materials were offloaded at an unnamed port. The Coast Guard’s marine board of investigation is continuing its analysis and conducting witness interviews ahead of a public hearing on the tragedy.

If I were a family member, what would haunt me is wondering if they felt, saw, or heard anything that showed that something catastrophic was about to happen. It wouldn't be the physical pain of death, but the agony of knowing unavoidable death was moments away.
