#Jack #Bioshock #BioshockLore
Finding out that Jack is chronologically 4 years old really fucked me up.
i know man, what the fuck.. hahaha
It really do be fucked man..
Wait what?
@@SycFuk2000 jack is a rapid grown baby
Bro there's a record in the game where Suchong says that he had a 19 y/o body at 1 y/o
Jack Ryan's choice of saving the little sisters also gives him something he's never had. A truly REAL family. The Wynands turned out to be a false memory implanted into his head. His birth father Andrew was extremely emotionally distant and forced his son to kill him just to prove to Jack that he's a slave and has no will of his own. Jack escapes Rapture and adopts children who have no family anymore just like him. His birth parents are dead and his imaginary parents never existed in the first place. He refuses to let this ruin his worldview and proves to his Rapture family that he is no slave but is in fact a man. A man with daughters. A man who is a father in law. A man with future grandchildren. A man with a family. A man who chose to live his life as a father and not as a slave meant to obey. He paved his own path to follow and made his own legacy. He probably resumed his fabricated farming lifestyle with the addition of his new children. He teaches his kids how to plant and make use of the land. He encourages his daughters to follow their dreams as long as it doesn't have anything to do with building underwater cities. He lives on until old age and dies being remembered not as a hero of Rapture but as a self made farmer and a great dad.
Well said
farmer? I just enjoyed all the killing
Wait atom comes from the slug things right and if I remember in an audio diary a doctor had patient who either didn't have arms or they were paralyzed but a atom slug fixed it so wouldn't he live a lot longer then the average man
I wonder if he kept his powers and weapons
@@bgheseger6937 the slug just gives you quicker regeneration of a damaged part of your body and makes you more resilient, that's why little sisters are tough and manage to survive way more damage than normal kids their age would.
As for Jack, his growth was extremely rushed artificially, he has a body of a 20 year old when in fact he _existed_ for only 4 years or so. I guess such things don't go unnoticed by the body, so it ages just as quickly as it was forced to develop...
Liked because you said "Would you kindly" at the start.
Well, thank you kind sir.
@ Unfortunately, someone decided to send bots into the comments section spewing racial, homophobic, and other slurs non stop. I don't know why they did that and it sucks that people bot stuff like that (porn bots too), but shit unfortunately happens.
@ It's okay. Stuff like that and hate comments come with being a Content Creator. It'll be alright.
@ Me too, thank you.
Riiiiise rapture riiiise
So Jack is basically younger then his "daughters" haha.
Hmmm. Then if he has the #*£ then that would be like having £!~ with a child.
@@ccyb3945 wtf
Hey those aren't his 'daughters' their his daughters.
holy crap! i never thought of that!
chronologically.
Just like Gordon Freeman and Isaac Clark (for the first game), I think that Jack being silent actually adds to his characters rather than taking away from it with the themes of freedom and control throughout the game.
Imagine Jack at a job interview
"So what skills do you have for the workforce"
*Big Daddy noises*
Wtf you’re hired
turns up the drill
Boss: Are you "really" 18 years old for the job?
Jack: *Yep*
Boss: Ok?
I remember when I found the audio diary in the game and heard a poor puppy get killed by Jack. I hated him for I little bit, but I realized when Ryan said the whole mind control thing that it was the "Would you kindly?" phrase that triggered Jack to kill the dog.
Atleast the doctor got what he deserved and so did fontaine
Boss Star This whole timeline just confuses me
@@Dabajaws
That big daddy attacking him was the best Diary
Alongside with The masha Diary
What still buggers my mind is how Jack raises five little girls alone with a voice of a whale thanks to the vocal cord surgery :P
Lmao, I never really thought of it like that.
lol it's an interesting (and actually kinda sad) trivia to think about
Jack:whale noises
He talks like Dory in finding Nemo
Its TIIiiiiiime FOOOr BEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDD
I mean he was mute before so i think he'd manage
The one thing i never understood was how Jack managed to dry out and wasn't soaking wet the whole game. Surely he would have got hypothermia.
I know right? Water resistant sweater and pants I suppose lmao.
Jack isn't fully human. I dont think something as simple as hypothermia would affect him.
Water resistant wool?
you forget that jack can heal very fast you
Maybe suchung injected a water resistant plasmid into jack before sending him off
Jack wasn’t mute he literally talks at the beginning, he just doesn’t talk while in rapture
With how creepy it was
I don't blame him for keeping quiet
I dont know, maybe a word of disgust or horror wouldnt have changed that much, he made grunts when he jumped down somewhere or got hit. So it seems kinda weird. On the other Hand it might also be a clue to his state of mind as well as the fact that Rapture isnt entirely new to him.
Elizabeth: "I can see all the doors, and behind all the doors and behind one of them incredibly...................
I see him."
Daveret Brunet just I giggle when i realize that both protagonist of bioshock, and half-life are essentially “slave” and freeman name is ironic considering that he isn’t free but is In fact a slave to godlike Lovecraftian alien being from a another Dimension. Aka Gman.
Would that make Jack an alternate version of Elizabeth? Andrew Ryan is essentially the Comstock of this Universe. Elizabeth/Anna is Comstock/Booker’s Daughter. While Jack is the Son of Andrew Ryan. He’s just one of the many different versions who didn’t get inter dimensional powers for obvious reasons. Elizabeth seemed to have a weird connection to him as she was seeing through his eyes in her final moments. That scene cemented that for me.
Jack: *big daddy noises*
@@khfreak5531 Yeah thats a theory I have heard of that Jack is an AU of Elizabeth vice versa
It's good to see that I'm not the only one who loves BioShock
Every few weeks I always play through all of them and I never get bored!
RE Immersive Gameplay Walkthroughs I’ve been playing bioshock since I was born, and me too lol
Dude you act like it's an underrated game. This game was regarded by many as one of the best game of all time, epsecially during last generation of consoles.
My experience in Rapture was unforgettable. All of the splicers I killed along with the big daddies and rescued little sisters helped make my experience in Rapture even better. First I was nothing more than a slave to Fontaine, but in the end I made a choice... a choice that ended Fontaine's life, a choice that gave the little sisters (and Elizabeth) a second chance at life, and finally a choice that ended Rapture's violent cycle.
Thank you for making this video.
The ultimate badass himself,
Jack Ryan.
No problem man.
Rapture is doomed from the start.
We all make make choices, but in the end our choice make us.
It’s stated in the Bioshock Infinite DLC that the good ending is canon
VinexTine Yes It’s true.
Otherwise the world would be destroyed i guess
Well since there are multiple realities wouldn’t all of them be canon?
@@thespellchecker9123 I mean the main reality, the one we played in
@@thespellchecker9123 by your logic, there’s a timeline where jack dies in the plane crash and Bioshock 1 never happens
I could see Jack as having grown up on a farm in Kansas, but joined the U.S Navy after finishing high school due to seeking adventure.
Okay guys, I'll keep this short. I REALLY want to stream tonight, but I'm exahusted due to not sleeping because of panic attacks. Do you guys want to see a short stream where I do the DLC / Additional Content for Bioshock 1 and just have a chill stream? Or should I wait until tomorrow when I have full energy?
TheBioshockHub whatever you feel like man
TheBioshockHub you gotta take care of yourself, but whatever you want to do at the end of the day!
TheBioshockHub a chill stream would be cool, but only if you can. I hope you can sleep better tonight
TheBioshockHub wait til tomorrow
According to Wikipedia, Panic Attacks are commonly in early adulthood. It can last seconds to hours.
I doubt you'll see this but when I was younger I got ahold of bioshock for my 360. Now, I shouldn't have been playing it I was that young, but it was creepy and cool so I use to turn the tv down all the way at night and play it on school nights lol. So thanks, you just connected all the pieces I never realized because I was stupid and didn't really pay attention to subtitles beyond objectives and just played to play. So thank you kindly, one of my favorite games and favorite plot twists. I never realized half of this stuff.
I see all of the comments my friend. Glad to be able to help!
Why do so many People brag about playing this game when they were too young for it? Thats so fucking retarded.
@@dadivderr3161 retard means slow. Is he slow?
Sill a great masterpiece to play after years and years of gameplay the memories will never fade away ever.
I always hated listening to that puppy audio diary
Me too man, me too. It makes me so uncomfortable
@@TheBioshockHub it makes me sick to my stomach and infuriates me because i use to have a dog. It will almost be one year since she passed away at the age of 15. Every time i see Suchong's corpse, i pump his body full of shotgun schlugs. Serves that jackass right for smacking a little sister.
@@TheBioshockHub most people would be unnerved by the that audio diary.
@@treyowen9213 I'm more confused at the big daddy i killed at the end of part one. Nothing survives that many bullets and just gets knocked out like that.
How could someone listen to someone say "break that puppy's neck."
Thanks to the DLC of Bioshock ending, the Good Ending is canon
Bruh as a child I never bothered to figure it out that Andrew is your father and he’s a sleeper agent yada yada gotta replay this
Jack’s journey as a mind controlled operative is actually based on the real life MK Ultra project developed by the CIA.
Pretty messed up honestly.
AChristianTH-cam I don’t follow. What project?
@@dankcatsmemes9219 MK Ultra was an experimental secret mind-control project conducted by the CIA from the early 50's to the early 70's.
@@Balls1335 Were there any successful cases? It sounds interesting tbh
@@kazzng2087 it was unsuccessful
After they escaped Rapture:
Little Sister: "Dad, can I go to Tina's party?"
Jack: "No, you're too young and I know how irresponsible Tina's parents are."
Little Sister: "Would you kindly let me go...:3"
Evil lol.
So Jack is only four?!!!!!
Crazy huh
It shows how old he is in a passport that states that he’s from overlook Kansas and was born 1936 sept. 1st♏️
Well to be fair, Jack's ability to have a childhood was stolen from Fontaine since he wanted him to be used as a weapon against his own father. He didn't care that he was placing another's person life into a slave, he didn't care that Jack was basically living a lie or was having his childhood robbed, he just wanted to control Rapture, regardless of who was the pawn at play.
@@cameronblaylock1171 Wouldn't that make Jack older than rapture? You do see how that can't be true, right?
@@cameronblaylock1171 fake passport given to him
I've always wondered how Jack managed to ensure that *everyone* died in the crash, but that he survived, lol.
A couple of notes:
Jasmine didn't get pregnant accidentally. She was already in financial difficulty, and was approached by Tenenbaum and paid to get pregnant and then have them take the fetus. "It wouldn't be like a *real* pregnancy" she was told. This is in the audio diary under her bed.
Tenenbaum doesn't tell him to become a Big Daddy to help him face Fontaine. It's that all of the doors Fontaine has gone through are not able to be opened without a Little Sister. He has to become a Big Daddy in order to get the girls to trust him and go with him to open the doors so he can *get* to Fontaine.
Does anybody else picture Jack Ryan as Harrison Ford?
More like Tekashi 6 9
FINALLY!! Someone who picks the good ending of the goddamn game because it's nice to be a good person as opposed to the eight billion other people who I've seen talk about this game who say "the bad ending fits the story better because of my pure misunderstanding about what tone is and the fact that I smell burnt toast."
YOU HAVE EARNED YOURSELF A SUB, GOOD SIR!!!
I have always thought that Jack had a talk trauma generated when he killed all the people in the plane and crashed it because of the horror of what he unwillingly was doing, I think that would explain why he doesn’t remember how the plane crashed till Ryan tells him because his mind lock those memories since the traumatic they where to Jack and caused his mute as a side effect.
I like that theory
But I exactly remember when Fontaine angrily told you that you survived the world war and the way through rapture.
Andrew Ryan says that not Fontaine
Now that I think of it, Fontaine could have possibly made up fake records for Jack to trick Ryan. Fontaine is pretty clever.
He was talking about either himself or Tenenbaum
@@goldensentinel7715 Yeah, he was making a point how he (Fontaine) made it through WW2 without a scratch and how that gave him the confidence to go through with his evil plans.
@@sentinel8758 I thought he was talking about tenebaum. Becuase he was trying to convince us she isnt what she seems and that she went through ww2 and raputure without a scratch, theres more to her than it seems.
The "Would you kindly" at the beginning was really good
Jack is only six years old during the events of the game.
No he's not
Game takes place in 1960. Jack was born in 1956. That makes him 4.
Huh
@@damanij9747 He was genetically altered to age significantly faster than the average human male.
No he's only 4
Okay, why did Atlas need to get Jack 'emotionally' invested when WYK will make Jack do whatever he needs despite his thoughts or feelings?
Yeah, I thought that was a bit odd as well. Especially when Fontaine could get Jack to do whatever he wanted at the snap of a finger essentially
That's actually pretty easy to explain. I mean after you find out about being mind controlled you still try to resist. Fontaine probably figured that it's easier to convince Jack he's a good guy and someone he can trust. He probably also thought just in case the mind control didnt work he could convince Jack to join him. Also Fontaine is a megalomaniac so he might just simply get joy over how much control he can exert over Jack by not only controlling his physical actions but also controlling how he thinks.
@@TheBioshockHub so that he doesnt question his actions basically
if jack knew the true nature of his predicament, he'd fight back. alert tennenbaum, destroy the radio, even trap himself somehow.
So my theory why he had to do this was because in the audio recording of suchong making jack kill the puppy, you could hear jack crying and saying no but the fraze was said and he still did it. I think jack like blacks out and has no control over his body but be is still in control of his thoughts and feelings.
It was nuts how spliced up Fontaine was at the end of BioShock 1. 😮
Yessir
It was amazing how spliced up Jack was at the end
Compared to Atlas though, Jack had hardly any ADAM in his system.. at most ~3100 ADAM, meanwhile three stabs to Atlas gives you 750 ADAM, which is only a fraction of his total ADAM.
Plasmids
Not Even Once
adam will do that to you
BioShock Hub:would you kindly join me in this story
me:OH HECK NO YOU CANNOT USE MIND CONTROL ON ME
Jack is the epitome of “I didn’t ask to be born”
I would love if a dlc in bioshock 2 would take place in the alternate story of jack becoming ruler of rapture
This was me half the time playing BioShock: 😨
Jack is also the living legacy of Elizabeth and Booker...
Constants and variables.
As well as Delta and Eleanor.😊
I didnt know how hard it is to make videos 😂😂i had to do it for a project yesterday it took me 2 hours to record and and edit a video that was 2 minutes long.props to you bioshock hub for doing this almost everyday
I refuse to believe that Jack is 2-4 years old.
I promise he is! Thank Suchong and partially Tenenbaum for that
@@TheBioshockHub bruh was addicted to smoking before he could talk
@@Comicsontop LMAO, I know right??
So how was he able to live for 20-30 more years when, despite being 4, looked like a 24 year old man
Did none of you listen to the audio logs before meeting Andrew Ryan
Jack is such a good man.
Indeed.
dude the “would you kindly” caught me off guard and i love it
:)
jack ryan how did he go
t out of rapture when he was younger that's dope i wonder what he felt when he saw his mothers corps and meeting his secret father
Nice recap of the story. It was good to hear this again as it pointed out parts that I didn’t remember from my play through.
I tried doing as much research into the back story as I could for this.
Really fucked up how the little sisters are older than jack
I know right?
@TheBioshockHub like imagine rasing a bunch of kids 5 to 10 years older to you while you're aging twice as fast. Good on Jack, that genetic abomination woth a heart of gold
Awesome video man! And stream when you feel like you want to stream I don’t think your fans will be very picky 😁 keep up the great work
Thank you
I thoroughly enjoy your content and admire your upkeep of Bioshock videos to this day! I've been a long time follower and I only hope you gain the following this channel definitely deserves!
You honestly have no idea how much those kind words mean. Thank you.
Ohhhhh my God, HI!! lol yes yes of course!! I can't believe you replied! I'm screaming
I try to reply to as many people as I can :D
You are AWESOME!!!!:D
I'm glad you think so
I always wondered how does Jack not mutate from using Adam and plasmids??
I feel incredibly sad for Jack. He probably loved that dog and had to watch her die in his own hands, traumatizing.
Also I'm pretty sure the good ending for Bioshock is canon. Even though I prefer the evil ending.
Don't forget its the bioshock universe witch means there are alternate realities so ether can be canon
I agreed with Khalil Pontikes Still Prefer the bad ending
Dank Cats Memes I prefer the good ending
jack avenged his father and killed a killer of his dream, saved the little ones. a true hero...
3:46 The hell is that engineer big daddy doing up there that isnt his normal animation right
Looks like he is having one hell of a time dont he XD
I always wondered what Jack was doing in the time being on the surface before he was activated and boarded The plane.
Booker's story next
Iv decided to play 1-3 on hard. Iv never been more frustrated 😂🙄
You should try Infinite on 1999 mode lol
I beat 1999 mode. Fuck that shit ( as I play thru it again) lmaaooo
They only one that was hard was the first one on hard mode since you dont get any ammo and the wrench blows of the first portion of the game. The other ones are pretty easy.
ThatXoneXguy I did a wench only run. Major problem is the range
lunatick crow Just have a clear mind
Have you ever considered talking to some of us over in the BS speedrunning community? Small group of us dedicated to mastering these games, I'm sure a handful of us would love to discuss this stuff and help with this content if you'd be up for it. If not I understand. Theres a link to the discord in the BSI speedruncom forum if you'd like to think about it. Great stuff, keep it up.
I think it'd be cool to, but unfortunately I don't know anybody
The good ending is actually canon
Oh thanks. I wasn’t gonna watch this but you said “would you kindly watch this video.” Now I have to😤
I appreciate it :D
By me watching this this raises the question do you plan on doing other characters in the future
I do, if the video gets around 50-60 likes. It just shows me that you guys actually want to see more of this
TheBioshockHub well this got 3.8k likes so you probably did it
I cant believe i only discovered this channel now, i love Bioshock, especially 1. Subbed
Glad to have you here my friend
Amazing vid, really interesting as this sorta stuff isn’t in the game or with this kinda detail. Hope we can get more of these for other characters.
If we hit 50-60 likes on the video, we definitely will
I remember loving the character atlas then Fontaine revealed atlas wasn’t even real
I always wonder what happened to jack when he was transferred to land when he was a child. What did he do when he was on land.
Bunch o h00kers and c0caine
Wait, so does his voice get fixed after the big daddy
They never said.
I would assume he would have his vocal chords repaired. Even in the 1950s vocal chord surgery was possible, even though it wasn't very common then and it still isn't really common for extreme injury to the vocal chords.
He doesn’t even talk in the game
@@Snowbird_89 he talks at the start
THANK YOU. This story has always confused the hell out of me and you explained it perfectly. Liked and subscribed my friend. Thanks for your hard work.
You're very welcome!
I actually played the game and found it because my dad showed me the game and i was amazed!
When you realized Jack was the only character that had a happy ending. Ik Delta went out peacefully and choices depends on players input, but he lived a full life along with raising a family. So it balances it out I guess.
It's bitter sweet.
Sigma had also bittersweet ending: he was able to return to his old life and even managed to come in terms with his loss. Dr. Tenenbaum also had a good ending as she returned to Rapture to rescue Little Sisters and she did exactly that.
Me: "I think I'll go watch something else..."
Video: "...Would you kindly?"
Me: "Bastards!"
Sorry!!!
On my second play through I realized who jacks mother was and I literally sat there for 5 minutes
Bit mind blowing isn't it? I've made a video on her as well, if you're interested.
I feel stupid, I've been playing bioshock since I was like 7 and I had no idea jack was Ryan's son
I find it Stupid with 2 "o's" that Fountain asked Jack to get his head squashed by a Big Daddy's Boot in an area with no, zero, not ta, zip of them in the place; and when Jack goes to leave to the sewer, Frank automatically thought process was that Jack is no longer under the "Would You Kindly" control and activates the "Code Yellow" command on Jack. Instead of seeing Jack encounter a Big Daddy and if he is under the control or not. 😤 That is just my opinion and rant, please do not take this to heart.
The bioshock hub: I’m a animal lover
10:49 I’m just going to ignore that
I didnt really know all that much due to the fact that I dont pay attention lol! Thank you for the great video!
You're very welcome!
I always love listening to the random stuff splicers say when they don't know you're there
They say some of the most random stuff lol.
That's why I love the chameleon tonic sooo much hahaha! Allows you to calmly listen to all that quirky nonsense :D
When ever I hear the name Jack Ryan, I think of the Tom Clancy's novels.
jrlauer69 opposite for me. Whenever I hear about the Tom Clancy character, I think of Bioshock
I think tenenbaum is the woman who gave birth to jack, since he was given to her as an embryo if a human boy he’d have to be born with a human birth cuz he’s not a test tube baby, so I think she gave birth to him through invetro fertilization, the little sister name makes so much more sense now too
Me and my wife still say would you kindly when asking for something
That's awesome!
I do the same thing too in general
Your channel is a blessing.
I appreciate that.
So Jack went his whole life up until this point without hearing the word “yellow”?
"code yellow"
Jack died of precocious old age. Remember that he was a 1 y.o. with the body of a 20 y.o., and the adult Little Sisters were clearly still young when he died.
okay-i got an audio diary glitch where after i got the one about jack killing the puppy, after every new audio diary, THE PUPPY ONE WOULD PLAY AGAIN!!! like any time, after the new diary, i would hear the puppy getting its neck broken. it was so upsetting😭
Great game!
Agree with you on that
You know I like the fact that this youtuber is liking and loving every comment that's awesome! Any ways I do like that this is on TH-cam. I thought I was like the only fan and I'm 12!
I try to reply or at least acknowledge all comments. I enjoy talking to the people who watch and support the content I create. :)
Thank you
i kinda miss a "moraly good leader of splicers" ending i mean… what if you could help them?
Great job bro
Thank you Brian
Great video dude !
*Sees the title and recommended videos*
Me: This is the start of a great friendship. *Subscribed*
I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos my friend!
seeing does dead body like when you go find doc steinmen in a hallway you see a dead body on a wheel chair which freaked the hell out of me and a dead body in a bath tub doctor suchungs body was scary too
Great vid! You answered many doubts I had 👌🏽
Missed your stream today but happy birthday!!
You think Frank would choses a phrase less likely to be said on accident than 'code yellow.'
How much times have you ever said code yellow accidentally?
If we think about it, Jack could both hate Fontaine and be greatful for him.
Without him he'd have probably been aborted by Ryan, but Fontaine only needed him so he can take Ryan out of the picture, and when he did, he wanted to get rid of him since he no longer needed his services.
Quite interesting to think about it
That's a unique spin on it.
And to answer the question about the letter in the Jasmine Jolene video, it's something I came up with since I made the video on Mother's Day.
@@TheBioshockHub Thanks for the respond
@@szabm3179 No problem
Its crazy to think that fontaine went theough all of that just to kill one man but then again ryan was the king of rapture a guy like that is not easy to get to as you saw many tried to asssinate him and they all failed and eneded as plaks on his wall jack was a special case
We haven't heard anymore about the movie recently. I hope they're still doing it
They are, I just believe they're really taking their time.
@@TheBioshockHub I hope so. So far video game adaptations have been hitting it out of the park
One thing I never understood is if Jack ages very fast. Then how by the time he dies as an old man the little sisters who are know old enough to be married with kids? It almost like it seems like he aged normally from the end of the game onward.
Might of had something to do with Tenenbaum cracking the mind control with the doses of Lot 192.
Keep it up bro
The most dramatic scene at the start
*opens menu*
"I chose...Rapture"
In real life we are all slaves. To money. We are brainwashed. We are going insane. A man chooses, A man obeys...so true.
So many parallels.
Are you a man or a slave? It's actually a man chooses a slave obeys
But i still wonder about two things: 1. Where did Jack live when he was on the Surface and what did he do? Has he been kept in hiding? And if so, by whom? Do Rapture-Leaders have People living on the Surface and do Stuff for them? Which brings me to: 2. How did they actually accomplish to keep Rapture a secret? With all the People going there and all the work thats been done there, especially by a Company from the Surface. No submarines wondering what that giant city is under that Lighthouse in the middle of the Ocean? I mean sure its right after WW2, but still, seems like the KGB or the CIA would be interested in that kind of Power and Secrecy. Or what about relatives? I dont think that everyone in Rapture was there with their complete Family. Nobody wondered why Cousin George doesnt write letters from his fancy underwater Palace anymore? And why in his last letter he said he was so spliced up he cant even write anymore? Also after that Plane Crash, didnt anyone look there for the blackbox or for Survivors, maybe even in that Lighthouse? I mean, didnt the Pilots tell the tower that they were being taken hostage? Fontaine killed People on the Surface and nobody cared to investigate?
Plus: How did Jack actually learn to handle guns? It seems like he was trained as a Soldier, by whom tho? There were no Plasmids that actually made you a good shot or told you how to reload or even use a gun properly.
1: Unknown, Presumably somewhere in the U.S if the plane route was from the U.S to the UK. (Which would be south of Iceland.)
2: It's heavily implied that Rapture was more like a prison than anything else as, once you were there, you were never allowed to go back to the surface, let alone write to anyone else about the city's existence. This rule especially came in not long before the start of the Rapture Civil War.
3: Most of the submarines, especially American ones, would probably be stationed in the Pacific at this time since Japan was still kind of rebuilding at the time of Rapture's lifeycle; However, here's a better question: Why would anyone suddenly be looking in the middle of the North Atlantic, especially given tensions would be rising in Cuba at the time between the United States and the Soviet Union? (Not quite Cuban Missile Crisis at this point.)
4: This kind of links back to 2; It's heavily implied that Andrew Ryan refused to let people leave Rapture once they arrived at the city, let alone write about it's existence to the outside world, because he feared that either the CIA or the KGB would learn about the city's existence.
5: Who would be looking? There weren't exactly constant sea patrols during this time, especially since most aircraft would be busy with nuclear tests in the Pacific and Eastern Europe, and Black Boxes at this point weren't actually that durable.
6: What tower would the pilots be talking to? Their nearest ATC center was probably in Iceland, hundreds of miles north.
7: That last part is unknown; Presumably there were investigations on the surface, but considering forensic science at the time was in it's VERY early stages, and most investigations relied heavily on eyewitness testimony, it's safe to say that Fontaine covered his tracks by killing or intimidating eyewitnesses on the surface.
