They had up to 96 hours of air in there according to experts, so I think today is the final day they could be rescued with ideal conditions. Assuming they didn't freak out in there and use more oxygen than necessary, which... yeah...
There's also a possibility, however slim, that one or more passengers is dead, which, although morbid, would increase the amount of air available to each of the remaining passengers, I think?
That's a good point, it feels wrong to hope somebody died but that's kind of their only chance at this point.
