According to my rural-raised coworker, that submersible implosion was apparently a conspiracy.
According to him, The people aboard the sub came up with a plan to escape their debt. There was nobody aboard the submarine, and it was designed to implode as a permanent diversion.
This seems to be the least crazy of all the ones here so far. Plausible but very improbable.
Why force your child to come with you?
I do think that if you’re going to fake a death this is just about the best way to do it, though.
Maybe the just disappear like in witness protection and this dude didn't want to leave his son alone? It's too far fetched though. Given all the questionable things Oceangate did, independent verification of the implosion sound waves and finding the actual debris, it is extremely improbable it was staged.
