I didn't see anything in the article saying there was evidence (not sure there can be). So, unfortunately this is still just speculation (no matter how compelling it may seem) and the mystery remains. |

Yeah…the actual witness accounts of the Signal Lantern being shown seems to have been obviously ignored. |

Well, this will teach me to fully read the article before linking to it. Sorry of the mistake. Dave |

Dave Lol. Don't feel bad. I've done the same thing once or twice. Dan
PS. It will probably be taken out and destroyed by the "cultural cleansing" mobs before the mystery is finally solved. |

Ok school me please. I understand pressure blast / wave.
How did that impact crew inside a metal submarine?
Wouldn't the hull show damage from the pressure wave
Impact? |

still a good article, just not as advertised. Not judging. I am glad you posted it. |

Try reading the original article, as published on PLoS One. Apparently, eyewitness accounts were contradictory about other details, so may not have been reliable about signals, either. |

Seems to be the most logical explanation. From the positions of the crewmen in the sub, the cause of death was most likely an instantaneous source. That rules out drowning; no one would be expected to simply sit still and drown.
C.Caribe is probably right – once the violent mob finds out about this, they will grab their torches and "storm the castle". |

The Hunley Project released an official statement saying they do not consider the mystery solved: link Based on the history of this vessel a group of brave men undertook what they must have considered a suicide mission based on prior experiments with the Hunley. They, ultimately, are the only ones who know what happened. |

Interesting; a complex subject. I'm hoping to see the Hunley in October when in Charleston.
Any tips from previous visitors? |
