The US Navy says it recorded a sound “consistent with an implosion” just after the Titan was reported to have lost communications with its support ship on Monday.

Do not stay there, do not even use the bathroom, the area has bee taken over by live-ins, it is not a place of rest, you won't find a spot to rest your weary head as the live-ins have all these highway cones and barrels marking out their spots, they use their generators all night so you won't get rest in the first place, not to mention it doesn't feel safe.
