Here’s a link to Royer’s paper:

How do you make sense of the new hydroacoustic data? Take the survey and share your perspective:

A lot of people have been asking in the comments about the previous survey, which was about what area people think Ocean Infinity should search in. You can find that here:

And thanks again to @marcusrf7, tommoore39, @CalloftheWildOfficial, @ClassicalContrarian, @jspallino, and @lisagregory5192 for your support. You guys are the wind beneath my wings and I really appreciate it.

Regarding the implosion of a sinking aircraft, to sink it would need to flood first, which means it could not violently implode.

Great episode.  I would agree that additional data, even when it yields a negative finding is still valuable data.

The Saga continues….Reminds me of a movie scene.  “We have thousands of probe searching the galaxy.  I want proof!  Not leads!”  Same situation with MH 370.

The conundrum is that such data can't rule out anything. Had an impact been clearly recorded, then we could reveal one or more unknowns about it. This data just reduces the odds that an energetic crash occurred in the SIO.

I've become completely fascinated by the MH370 mystery. Every time I think I've understood it, a new detail changes my perspective. Your videos are some of the most well-researched and thought-provoking I've seen. I really hope one day we finally learn what happened to everyone on board. Thank you for keeping this investigation alive.

If Ocean Infinity happens to be in the neighborhood searching, they might be convinced to retrieve that lost buoy closest to the suspected crash area. At least that is an object they have a good location for. You never know until you try.

That vacation spot that Dr Royer was at sure looks idyllic. On behalf of the audience I’m glad that he was happy to take calls up there.

I think it's unlikely the 777 would have had any large implosions as it sank. I'm not an expert, but was an engineer at Boeing for 10 years and did work with the 777.
First the obvious, if the airplane broke apart, then it would have filled with water rapidly. And filled with water equals no implosion.
If the airplane stayed mostly together, then it would have floated until it was nearly full of water. Unlike what's sometimes shown in movies, an airplane won't sink below the surface with the fuselage still full of air. A back-of-the-napkin calculation shows the fuselage would need to be around 90% full of water for the airplane to sink.
Next, an aluminum airplane fuselage  is going to have a low crush pressure, it's not designed to withstand negative pressure. Combine these two -- a maximum of about 10% crushing by volume, and happening at low pressure -- and I think it might make less noise than even a smooth landing on the water.
So are there any other parts on the airplane that could implode? Yes. The ones that come to mind are the water tanks (fresh and waste water), the hydraulic reservoirs, fire extinguisher bottles, and the pilots oxygen tank (and a lot of smaller things that I'll ignore).
My wild guesses are as follows: The oxygen tank might be strong enough to not implode (and it's not that big anyway). The hydraulic reservoirs and fire extinguisher bottles are likely too small to make a really loud noise. There are 3 fresh water tanks. I think each one is 120 gal (450 l). These tanks are not designed for negative pressure, so would probably fail at only a modest pressure. Would these make enough noise to be heard? I really don't know, but I'd lean toward no.
The last thing is the waste water tanks. There are 3 waste tanks, the bigger two are 83 gal (314 l). These tanks ARE designed for negative pressure (aka, a partial vacuum). They will probably withstand more external pressure than the fuselage or fresh water tanks before imploding, but still not a lot of pressure. In normal operation the "vacuum" in the tanks is probably around 7 psi (1/2 bar). I'd be surprised if the waste tanks could even make it to 50 psi (3.4 bar) of negative pressure before failing. Would an 83 gal tank failing at maybe 30 psi make enough noise to be heard???

It’s getting very frustrating this search. They really need to fit enhanced tracking on passenger jets.

The narrative requiring the fewest number of assumptions and with the greatest explanatory power is that the pilot put the plane in a deliberate dive to lose altitude  quickly, then leveled out and glided the plane to the surface. This is supported by doppler descent rate data, seventh arc data, lack of hydroacoustic signals of impact and the condition of debris found that indicated a soft impact. Why the pilot would have initiated a dive and leveled out could be explained by multiple hypotheses. It could indicate a conscious decision and preference of the pilot, or it could indicate that someone was trying to stop him. But it does not appear that the plane was on autopilot.

I read an article about their being an American Hydrophone network in the Indian Ocean. The govt refused to allow the searchers access to their data.

So great! thanks, as always!!

2 audio experts discussing all things sound and they still have an echo on call… gives me hope!

ASHTON FORBES: WELL THAT SOUNDS FISHY

Thanks for the interesting update! I subscribed to your channel because I'm always so interested in the plane search. Keep up the good work, Jeff👍.

Recently joined viewer here so I've been working through the back catalogue of podcasts. So interesting.

26:30 Omg. As a ship captain who has deployed and recovered science gear over the side, that bit about catching the equipment in the props was such a gut punch 🤦🤦🤦

Thanks for keeping this story alive, I hope we get answers soon. 💔🌏🌹

I remember drawing 2 lines on my small iPhone from those 2 Australian ‘underwater listening ports’ near/off the Perth area……they pretty much both crossed over the Maldives (and beyond). Which kinda looks like where your ‘Red Star’ location is here in this episode by ANOTHER listening apparatus.

Makes me wonder!!!
