Missing Titanic Submarine- new thread

[YoSof]

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

Read that something will be heading down tonight to hopefully rescue them but they're leaving it very late. Why can't they go now?

Probably because there not on scene yet.

Does this mean they have potentially located them?

Just read that those on board had to sign away any right to sue the company for emotional damage, injury and death.

Terrifying.

terrifying that after 3 days, they might not all be alive even if they're rescued. Dehydration kills after 2-4 days

Spot on.

Some of things I’ve seen online are bloody awful.

I reported an awful post on Twitter. Some of the comments about the occupants of the sub being rich and white.

Even comments under posts about there being a mum somewhere who was anxiously hoping for the rescue of her young son and husband, essentially saying well she is rich and white so…who cares. The lack of humanity is staggering.

These cretins never miss a chance to spew their self righteous bile.

They're not all white anyway!

Unfortunately if they found them this minute it’s very unlikely they can rescue them in time.
The oxygen runs out 11 GMT tomorrow, the equipment is 20 hours away.

No, but some awful people had found out some Dawood family photographs. The mum is apparently white so naturally, undeserving of any human sympathy for the nightmare she is currently living 🙄.

Does this mean they have potentially located them?

No they have not been located.

They can send down a remote sub to search near the Titanic and look at potential locations they might be.

There are very few (2 I think) subs capable of diving to this depth and they had to get one of there there first.

Realistically if they are on the seabed chances of a successful recovery are slim and successful rescue even slimmer.

It ls awful for the families, they must be heartbroken.

I think this is the 'depth' video that people are referring too, I thought it was very interesting

Voice on R4 this morning said...
there are 5 or 7 systems to make the subms rise to surface, 7 different things they can do from inside. That none of those has worked suggests the subms is somehow 'stuck' under something.
Very easy, due to poor visibility for these subms's to get stuck.

Another subms getting on scene could in theory unstick it

The way the missing subms stopped beeping ~ hour before it reached bottom, makes me think a multi-failure. Like electricity failure + it then drifted then got stuck.
Time will tell.

I don't feel sorry for them. It's horrible & they don't deserve this fate, but they signed up knowing how risky it was, they made adult decisions. I still hope they make it out ok, too.

I couldn't watch that, it gave me motion sickness.

I don't feel sorry for them.

That says it all. The rest of the post was just hot air.

Exactly. Imagine coming onto a thread and actually typing that out and posting it. They are human beings with families out there that will be absolutely frantic. In all likelihood they aren't going to come out of this situation alive. The lack of empathy from some posters is absolutely astounding.

The news channels seem to have gone very quiet. No updates for a while

Is it true that one of the big problems with the submarine rescue is that the US/ UK/ French military don’t want to admit what their navy subs can, and can’t, do?

Hopefully this means they’re working on a plan as fast as they can and hesitant or no time to update the media. I’m not sure how the media operates really, so maybe that’s just me clutching at straws.

Yep.
I think they were foolish but I still feel sorry, especially for the 19 year old.

However I am fascinated by the whole situation as it’s like watching a movie being played over several days.

@TheTERFnextDoor it probably is a factor... submariners tend not to advertise.

To be honest, I don't believe anymore they will survive. I just read an interview that rescue mission will take much longer than their oxygen supply is going to keep them alive. This is very tragic. I think we need miracle to see these people safe and sound on the dry land.

The whole issue of what submarines can and can't do, and detection methods has been a very sensitive area for decades..

Even if you don't believe in God , say a prayer.

The Horizon Arctic, loaded up with gear that can go that deep, is setting off for the Titanic location... but may arrive too late.

re the waiver if the submersible isnt recovered how could anyone prove negligence? No evidence, black box recorder etc. It was there then it wasnt. Occupants signed the paper and I presume any dependents will have to accept that.
