Missing Titanic Submarine- new thread

[YoSof]

I see the first one is full, is there a new one?

It’s seems impossible and I’m wondering why they haven’t already started trying to get these potentially vehicles to the site?

They still have a bit more than 25 hours of oxygen left, it is thought.

So you think P-3 Orions or the Canadian Navy/USGC just sit in port, costing the tax payer nil money on days when they are not required to do rescues?

That really is laughable.

I woke up in the night and thought about this absolutely horrific, my absolute worst nightmare combined, enclosed space and deep water.

Of course not. I mean the ridiculous concept that as they are out training anyway this mission won't cost much.

I think a lot of people don't necessarily take these disclaimers seriously, people think it's a health and safety tickbox but have faith in the professionals doing the job. Atleast that's how I felt when I was told about risk of maternal death on the paperwork I had to sign before my c-section. It'll be a harrowing feeling when they are now realising it was a very real risk after all.

@IfOnlyOurEyesSawSouls i see a lot of people mentioning the titanic area is a grave site and it doesnt sit well with some that people want to visit it. There are lots of 'grave site' tours - auschwitz, the site of twin towers, pompai etc. I agree people should be respectful when visiting these sites but whats the problem with visiting?

The fact a 19 year old boy is on board, is just utterly heartbreaking.

I can't help but I feel this is all very ironic. Visiting somewhere with such heartbreak, terror and tragedy. Best to let things be.

Sounds of banging are being reported on the news near the site

Being able to hear bangs actually makes it worse - imagine being a rescuer and knowing that they were still alive but you weren't able to get to them in time.

With no bangs then you could convince yourself they were already dead.

It's vv unlikely they will be found in time. I hope they are though.

Tbf people don't put any lives at risk by visiting those places!

😆
True though

They have reported the banging, but also that they still may not be able to get them out even if they find the capsule. Horrific.

Poor 19 year old and his
Family

The rest on board are silly old men with too much money to waste

And no doubt the rescue operation costs enough to run a small country

I cannot fathom why they wanted to go

I hope they find them

I actually felt sick when they reported banging ,as a Mother I cannot imagine the sheer terror that the teenagers Mum is going through knowing your child is alive and suffering…I had hoped a catastrophe had killed them all, rather than suffering.An absolutely hideous situation !

If they were to locate it would they be able to use the underwater ROVs to attach an inflatable and inflate it to float the sub up to the surface? I'm struggling to think of any other way of rescue (not that I am any kind of expert).

I'm a bit confused by some of the reporting. This presumably isn't the first time anyone has reached the wreck? As one of the people in the sub has supposedly seen the wreck multiple times.

So what makes this such an unusual voyage (?). Is it that it is carrying non professional divers or the sub itself?

The banging was heard by floating buoys with hydrophones correct ? (The fed to an aircraft)? Does this suggest that they are not so far from the surface? How far down can those buoys detect sound? 😬

That's obviously how they think too

13,000 feet.....

This is a situation where you are reminded how small and vulnerable we are against natural environments and Mother Nature. No money in the world can save you. Something goes wrong in space, you're fucked, down in deep sea also and in highest mountains. I really hope they find them.

I'm the thing that confuses me, is that the sounds could be literally anything. They can't guarantee that it's the sound of those inside the sub..
they also mentioned it was completely regular, like x amount of times per 30 minutes.

I think the potential banging makes the whole thing worse, it would be absolutely incredible if they were able to a) find it and b) get them out in time.

I was also thinking about this last night! It really is the stuff of nightmares.
