Damn, it must take a certain type of person to be a forensic pathologist in those type of investigations. I sure as heck couldn't do it.

The experts may've then been correct.

I seem to recall the "weak" spot mentioned by experts was the viewing port. I don't believe it was actually rated for the depths that it was being used at with this submersible.

"Suspected" human remains. Which tells you something about what it was they found (nothing much recognizable anyways).

I thought it interesting that no pictures were shown of the black carbon fiber pressure hull...just big pieces of the light colored cladding that was on the outside of the hull.
Perhaps the hull was destroyed into little pieces and was in the bags shown, or maybe the photographer just couldn't get pictures of it.

There was a video (that I cannot find) where the person was talking about the 18 bolts that secured the front dome. He mentioned tha they only used 17 because the 18th was a pain to install. I assume it was on the top.

Then my wife was watching a video from inside the craft and you can clearly see water dripping in front of the guy's camera into the sub. I assume that would be from a lack of that 18th top bolt.

I highly suspect any dripping water seen inside the sub was from condensation.

With 6000psi pressure or 400 Atmospheres, , I doubt any water entering the craft would just be 'dripping'.
I've seen near 4000-5000 psi on a drill rig at shut in on the pressure and it was scary to be working around. A leak at those kinds of pressures can cut thru several inches of steel in less than a minute.
