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 would say that all reasonable efforts should be made to rescue or recover anyone and everyone who has gone missing. We can figure out the rest once we exhaust all optons, or have them back on the boat.
I think they discovered the crush depth of their sub was a little shallower than they thought it would be, and are all already dead. The search team says they heard a banging sound, but they’re next to a huge old wreck full of old garbage that is a probably the source of a lot of banging sounds.
Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued?
A couple billionaires
I hope not.
I think there's a chance they succumbed to hypothermia long before they ran out of oxygen.
I don't think it's looking good. If they're at depth, I don't even know how they would be rescued
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.
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????
What a horrible way to go. Hopefully rescuers succeed.
That being said, judging by the photo, if they are still viewing everything through a screen, what was the point going down with the submarine and not just sending a robot with a video feed?
I'm pretty sure this picture is taken from outside the viewport judging form the vignetting around the photo
Being realistic, they're probably gonna all be dead, and may never be found
Negative. I don’t think we’ll even find wreckage, and if we do, reaching it will be difficult and expensive.
With all the news I keep hearing. I dont think they will survive. I guess thats one less billionaires in the world. Probaby for the better.
The horrid reddit takes are leaking into lemmy. I don't like most billionaires but you really think they deserve suffocating in a small metal cylinder? You don't even know these people
Yes. They wouldn't hesitate to do the same to you if they thought it would help their portfolio. There isn't a billionaire out there that hasn't exploited people for money.
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.
1st thing I thought when I heard they were missing is, yep, it was an iceberg.
The rescue would be miraculous. So, no. Sadly.
Probably not. Pretty shitty way to go out to be honest.
