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 if someone wants to dive to the wreckage of the Titanic again, they should ask the Russians for the Mir bathyscaphe, which definitely works reliably.
Nope sadly a 250k coffin
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 think the difference is in knowing where the capsized ship is and having a survivor count at all.
Meanwhile it’s a race against time for an unknown location of a submersible that sits in a relatively rare class for depth.
I’m not that hopeful but regardless of who they are, it’s a rather distressing thought putting yourself in anyone’s shoes from either incident.
Being realistic, they're probably gonna all be dead, and may never be found
Probably not but shit to hear them die in a sub cool place to die tho
I don't think they're gonna make it. Infact don't think they have. The sub either imploded and killed all of them almost immediately or they ran out of oxygen but I doubt that one
nope. with the amount of time they've been down there so far and the volume of space inside the thing, they would have exhaled enough CO2 to have all at least lost consciousness if not suffocated
I thought I read they had CO2 scrubbers and enough o2 to extend their life support to 96 hours or so, is that not the case?
Though thinking, if they lost power the scrubbers won't function without manually pumping air through and who knows if that's a possibility. I would specify two backups for the scrubber power along with other mitigation, but the way this has gone I am confident they have nothing like that.
Nope sub rescues are hard in shallow lakes. In the deep ocean they are boned. Unless they surfaced consider them dead
