If they are still alive, i dread to think how they are feeling.
Doesn't sound like there's much hope for them judging by the bits that are being released. |  | | |  |

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a workable recovery plan ready to go.
Perhaps in future just leave the site alone. It shouldn't be a tourist destination. |  | | |

I hope they have a spare controller as those things break all the bludy time (at £30 - £50 a pop). |  |

I saw on the BBC a description of the craft. I would not go in it. It looks dreadfully amateurish. The capsule is bolted from the outside
and is piloted by a computer games controller. [Post edited 20 Jun 2023 10:25]

Blimey - they're dead.
and to think they each payed $250,000 for the privilege. Sad for the families etc etc, blah blah, but I'm struggling to find much empathy. | | | |

the impression i get is that finding them is going to be extremely difficult. If they are on the Ocean floor it's going to be very, very difficult to get them back up.
I agree on the last sentence, i enjoy reading and watching documentaries on Titanic but even if i had the cash, that isn't something that interests me. | | | |

They had Nasa and other experts help design it but like you say it wouldn't fill me with much confidence. | | | |

Let the Americans do it, just to see how unsavory and distasteful they make the whole thing. Maybe they could build a theme park around it.
The Iceberg Experience Diner. They could sell a Coke Sunk instead of a Coke Float. |  | | |

17 bolts. All from the outside. Zero means of escape from the inside.
It's basically a diving coffin.
And also why it is not signed off my any of the agencies who would normally sign off this type of thing.
The CBS reporter who went on it last year got to 37 feet down and had to come back up as it failed. They are 2 1/2 miles down (probably) and only 3 subs exist in the world that can go that deep. And even then, they can't rescue them because of the issues mentioned above. |  | | |

I should really given the seriousness of the position they’re in, but that made me chuckle (too true as well, PS5 ones are crap). |  |

If that's how it all pans out and the capsule is as bad as it seems, you'd think there'd be some serious jail time involved in this somewhere. Corporate manslaughter or some such. It sounds like the families will have plenty of money to fund top lawyers too.
Anyway, hopefully they'll be found alive and well however unlikely that looks. | |

I read somewhere that the Frenchman onboard had serious misgivings about it being made of fiberglass and also the large porthole, but couldn't resist the trip. | |

I think I'm right in saying one of the 5 on board is the CEO of the company running it. He must've had a high degree of confidence in it. | | | |

They still have two days of Oxygen so a miracle could still happen.
However, No emergency beacon or distress - suggests catastrophic failure. |  |

Tho it is possible to dump the ballast in an emergency. They may be on the suface, still trapped, but out of immediate danger. Not easy to find a very small vessel bobbing around on the Atlantic, however.
The real problem would be if they have become entangled in wreckage or the vessel has been breached. There's so much wreckage from the Tianic on the seabed, identifying and locating the submersible would be hard. |  |

the owner is on the capsule also apparently. | | | |

Must have done you'd have thought. I imagine he's getting a bit of stick off his other passengers if they're just sat somewhere running out of oxygen! Doesn't bear thinking about. | |

Yeah don't suppose he's very popular. As you say it really doesn't bare thinking about, I can't think of many worse ways to go to be honest. | | | |

Hypoxia is not like suffocation, you get sleepy and lethargic and gradually drift off to sleep...... | |

See the video in the Tweet I put earlier in the thread, all looks a bit half-arsed. | |

or by the sounds of it they didn't have one of those beacons at his local Walmart so he didn't bother. | | | |

It’s more the waiting around to die that’s horrible though.
No way of saying goodbye to anybody, just sitting and thinking and waiting for what seems like the inevitable.
Horrific really. |  |

If it's gone to the bottom, probably about 0% chance of them surviving. The sea in the area is something like 13,000ft deep. Submarine disasters generally dont have survivors. |  |

Yeah that was my thinking. Knowing you're in the sh1t and have about 2 days of oxygen left until you might or might not be found. Perhaps take some time to write a note to loved ones in the hope that one day they might get to see it.
Horrid. [Post edited 20 Jun 2023 11:34]
