I’d flip it: what’s the point in informing the public about something you’re not definitive about? Particularly when lives are at stake.

They heard the implosion at the same time they lost contact with the sub. Why not say that? There is neither added nor diminished risk to life by revealing or concealing that.

As for what the point of informing the public is - the government serves the public and the public was interested. Without a compelling reason to keep information secret the government should share.

Your voyeurism is annoying and very off-putting.

Find yourself saner hobbies.

4/5 of your last comments are about this topic.

The government shouldn't conceal information to mislead the public without some compelling reason. Since no reason exists here, the government shouldn't have done that.

Yeah, and I don't complain we should be informed of everything and anything and what a scandal it is that we're not. What's your point?
