Titanic submersible es morte (4 Viewers)

[Semper]

For the ships conducting the surface search, as soon as it's dark, no chance of finding it.

Man I thought sitting on the bottom running out of oxygen would be bad…. I can’t imaging bobbing at the surface with fresh air so close….

Maybe this has been answered already, but if it is on the surface, I imagine there’s no way they can break that window considering the pressure it’s meant to handle?

no way to break thru a hull designed for 6000psi

hard to believe at tourist pricing the cheap ceo couldn't splash out for an epirb or other locator beacon

the whole enterprise is absurd

That rules out implosion. So those guys are either tangled in something or powerless sitting on the bottom.

Makes me wonder then why the text system isn't working if that's how they were navigating.

BNO has got a few tweets about the submarine up now. Reading through them ... I get the impression that the sub is not at all lost. They seem to know where it is. It's just that it's THAT hard to perform rapid salvage at 12,500 ft.

Just thought of this little caveat also. The company asked them to limit food/water intake predive to limit bathroom usage right? Wonder if they took water down with them because after a few days that becomes an issue same as air.

Anyone seen the ETA other ROV's may get there?

I’d rather get in a barrel and ride down Niagara Falls. These people are off somehow.

Billionaire sinks going on a field trip, the whole world is captivated by the rescue.

Something is wrong with us. (not SR, I mean the world in general)

My assumption is these incidents happen frequently so they don’t sell. Not that it isn’t a tragedy. Maybe start a thread?

I think what has the attention of the world here isn’t the fact it’s a billionaire in the submersible it’s the situation. It’s thinking about 5 people stuck 12500ft below the ocean floor. Will they be rescued?

Yeah, I think that's what that Ben Coates tweet that someone posted was referencing. I agree it's messed up.

It's the fact that the US, Canada and UK are throwing immense resources at several "risk taking adventurer" millionaires while countries ignore those taking risk in search of just the opportunity for a better life.

The reason that many are interested is the allure of rich people doing rich people things. I mean a father paid $500,000 for he and his son to travel down 12000 ft to see a ship wreck that holds no real value other than to say I've seen it.

We probably could have saved way more than 5 people from that migrant boat if we gave it 1/10 of the resources going to this.
