That's it.

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?
They forgot to charge the pad and didn’t bring the USB cable, so no. They’re doomed, unfortunately.
Or they thought having their lives depend on the 'stable' experience Bluetooth provides would spice things up. Nothing gets that blood pumping like a 'could not pair with device' at 3800 meters below the surface.
At this point, I'd be surprised if they were ever found. Assuming the sub is still intact and not wondering aimlessly, the sheer size of the search area makes it difficult to find the sub.
Idk sounds pretty bad to me
They're reporting hearing bangs underwater, so hopefully at least one of them is still alive.
If they're deep down, it's unlikely. A good outcome would be something failed, but they could get up and are now lost on the surface, but from everything we've read about this it doesn't seem likely either.
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.
The rescue would be miraculous. So, no. Sadly.
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????
My understanding is that chances are slim to none. I understand that whatever malfunction happened that cut the contact, has some likelihood to have been a much greater malfunction than just radio, and that they’ve quite possibly already been dead a while.
And even if not, my understanding is that they’re scanning a massive swath of sea and it’s very much a needle-in-a-haystack situation. I wouldn’t be surprised if the only reason such an unlikely operation is taking place, is because the people involved can afford it.
THey dead
Is this the actual sub? It's just a tube, this looks awful.
I'm not sure that they have a 5 star restaurant built in... but obviously, deep sea subs need to be smaller in size or they just won't work.
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
Probably not. Pretty shitty way to go out to be honest.
