So it seems a whole lot of people knew exactly what happened all along but no one said anything.

This whole story stinks, I ain't buying what they're selling.
Game theory this with me. You're some submersible / oceanographic wonk or have some adjacency to some. Evereybody in your community confirms a loud sound consistent with an implosion. And a sub with dodgy carbon fibre structural engineering just went missing. Do you risk being the douchebag who tried to shit on a rescue efforts or do you let events play out?
Well, we've seen again and again that those who know better are severely punished for going against media narratives but it's interesting to see that same dynamic play out with an event like this. Interesting as well that suddenly it all came out the moment the media's oxygen countdown clock reached zero. It was like an embargo was lifted.
It's not just the implosion story either. As soon as the countdown ended they suddenly announced they'd found wreckage in the what you would imagine was the first place you'd think they'd look. I wouldn't be surprised if we learn they'd known about that for a few days as well.
