Missing Titanic submarine

[Twinklesgolden]

How horrifying that a submarine carrying 5 people has gone missing. Apparently there’s only 96 hours of air on the submarine when it sets off.

The people on board must be terrified!

Just read a bbc article saying they still have 70hours of oxygen left.
News articles on this are conflicting!

Let’s hope the latter is the case.

The SKY report is based on comment from a university oceanologist who said he has "second hand knowledge" that a "signal" has been received, but he doesn't know when. He did refer to it as an emergency ping, but he doesn't know if a human sent it or if it was autogenerated.

I doubt this (named) person would have said anything about this at all unless he was very, very sure of his source. But he doesn't have any real detail

I also read that oxygen would run out around 11am uk time

Sorry that was meant to say Thursday 11am

I'd have thought the build up of co2 would nt be good. It has no ventilated

@Winnerturkeydinner think they have a system that converts CO2

@Winnerturkeydinner there will be CO2 scubbers, but they need power, so it depends if there is battery power left.

I keep checking sky news. It is horrifying.

It really is.

One finds oneself praying for a miracle.

I wonder do they have an emergency plan to go and stay at a specific spot near the Titanic or try to get up to the surface. When they got lost for 2 hrs last year, did they make a plan then.

I am really hoping for a miracle for them.

I keep refreshing BBC news, it makes me panicky just imagining it, even worse if there is no light.

I have just looked at a video of the inside of that submarine and felt claustrophic at the thoughts of being in it before it went out to sea.

I just keep thinking of the scenarios of how it unfolded. Would they have a bit of a joke initially before the reality sets in, then it turns to concern and fear? Anger even?

A billionaire who isn't involved in vanity projects like going into space and plumbing th depths of the ocean just because they can.

You make my point.

If their flight changes in the US then they’ll need a visa. Can’t get on the flight without it.

Exactly- the US Navy uses Xbox 360 controllers on its £2 billion Virginia class nuclear attack submarine, so nothing unusual here.

Am I right in thinking that there is one woman and four men on board?

5 men including one mans son of 19.

No they're all men

Five men. The CEO, an expert, UK billionaire, Pakistani/UK business man and his son.

That was a very interesting video, thanks for posting it!

I can't even contemplate doing Eurotunnel as it's under the water shudders I hope their end is quick as I don't see how they can be found in time.

I believe there is a women on the ship who had been on the last submersible trip which lead to some confusion.

The Pakistani businessman is also a billionaire.

The woman from the video posted at the beginning of this thread was supposed to be on it. She hasn’t updated her Instagram since she posted a picture of being on the North Atlantic 6 days ago.
