    "However, the text message, which must have been sent just before the sub failed, took longer to reach the ship than the sound of the implosion."

    Right . . . they need to explain their reasoning there because it doesn't add up.

    Or did the comms apparatus actually survive and relay the buffered message after the fact? Which in turn means it could be recoverable.

      I'd also be keen to hear the exact reason, but the text message is probably going through layers of infrastructure and software, possibly even satellite, before appearing on a computer screen, whereas the shockwave is traveling at the speed of sound in water.

      Wouldn't that be because the sound went straight from point A to point B, while the text message had to travel via carrier infrastructure? If I send a text message to a person two cubicles away, it does not go straight to their phone; but, via a cell tower. (Probably a satellite in the case of the Titan sub.)
