Carbon fiber tends to deform catastrophically whereas metals bend.

Everyone knows that Snopes is not a real source of factual knowledge. They have an agenda that they support.

Haha! Good one!

Perhaps Starlink garbled comms and when the command was sent to “ascend” it was received as “implode”.

OK that’s silly but I would not be surprised if Musk gets dragged into the lawsuits by some means or another, just because of his deep pocket.

No radio is usable under water. No GPS, cellular phones, nothing. Submarines must nearly surface and drag very large antennas just to receive ELF radio signals. This is why inertial guidance systems are used on submarines.

Underwater communications must be done using sound. That suffers from a great deal of ocean noise, multi-path reflections, and frequency dependent absorption. If you want to talk to something deep in the ocean, you have to use a long wire.
