For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires' son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).
They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They've been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they'll make it?
I think the boat got crushed and they died on the first day its terrible but at least they probably died before they even knew they had a problem
I don't think it's looking good. If they're at depth, I don't even know how they would be rescued
I've read that the sub in question was only rated for 1300 ft, and they were taking it on dives of up to 4000 ft. Unless the sub surfaced as part of a safety protocol, there is an exceedingly high probability that the sub imploded and killed everybody.
It's 1300 meters and 4000 meters. That's around 4000 feet and 12000 feet, respectively.
If they're not already dead, they're going to be soon. The capsule has no hatch and can't be located, let alone dragged back to the surface. They were fucked the second they bolted that death trap shut.
Idk sounds pretty bad to me
Folks, the Titan submersible is a capsule that travelers are sealed into ** from the outside.** The passengers could be adrift on the surface, the air could run out, and they could theoretically suffocate on the surface. It's locked with bolts from the outside. Yeah, the 96 hours of oxygen could be stretched if the passengers conserved their oxygen. That is, if they are not a part of the debris field that was located near the Titanic. Each passing minute now is increasingly likely to change this from rescue to recovery.
Calling it Titan and having it going to the Titanic is quite a coincidence, especially as both seem to be ending tragically. Calling the Company OceanGate (with the -gate suffix being tied to scandals like Gamergate, Contragate, Pizzagate, Partygate, Chinagate, Deflategate, Watergate, etc.) is quite a coincidence too. That little conspiracy theorist inside my head wonders if they aren't somehow related, like a group suicide pack wanting to be remembered for being brave or something. It's probably just two weird coincidences, but boy howdy is this weird.
1st thing I thought when I heard they were missing is, yep, it was an iceberg.
At this point, no. As I'm writing this comment, they barely have an hour of oxygen left. Yeah, they're dead for sure.
I don't like millionaires/billionaires but I wouldn't wish that kind of harrowing ordeal on anyone. I hope they survive somehow.
My guess is money will save them. I'm only slightly joking
I think we all hope they get rescued but if they are on the bottom of the ocean the odds are not in their favor. Even if they are located in time it will take forever to attach a line to the craft and pull it up.
Why didn't they have a plan of action for this? Why did they not think to put a location beacon on the craft, or a means of communication????
Well, they did have a means of communication. And it stopped working. Beacons don’t work underwater. There aren’t any other options.
Lost subs don't tend to have happy endings. Was there ever a successful rescue at all?
Doubt that these guys will be found alive. Maybe in a few years someone will find their submarine
Short answer: no
Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOO
Nope.
