A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"US medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of presumed remains"
So... bits and pieces of organic matter that may or may not be human. I assumed that they all were blown to smithereens in the accident, so I'm curious to know what they found.
Bones and/or teeth? That’s probably it though.
This incident was the other way around, but it gives a good indication of the forces at play: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin
It was super interesting to see the parts they recovered in the video.
Where is this video?
It was at the bottom of the article when I saw it
There is a break in the story where they have three links, and the last one says something about the video of the wreckage.
Presume that similar to air incident investigations, there'll be a forensics investigation on the wreckage to formally determine the cause of the incident.
However, the difference between the two situations is that aircraft have fully documented designs and maintenance reports, whereas this craft appears to have been cobbled together with zip ties.
That's crazy. I imagine that at such depths, organic remains take longer to decompose than usual.
From what I've learned from the titanic I'm pretty sure they decompose faster as I know that even the clothes and bones of the titanic victims have decomposed we were only able to count victims based on the souls of their shoes that being the only part of the bodys that didn't decompose
Most likely eaten rather than decomposed by microorganisms.
Every animal that dies and falls to the sea bed is pretty quickly consumed by the bottom feeders.
Here is a video of a whale being consumed on the sea floor.
To be fair, it went down in 1912 and the wreck wasn't discovered until the 1980s, so plenty of time to be decomposed/eaten. I have also read that bodies tend to leave behind feet in water (sometimes even wash up to shore) because the shoes prevent creatures from scavenging the feet.
Normally remains will be eaten by scavenging critters before they have a chance to decompose
How? I thought they turned into like a mist or whatever?
Maybe one of the families will have something tangible for a funeral/memorial service. Some folks need that sort of thing to make it easier to grieve and eventually move on.
Not a surprise really, I hear there were once humans in there
