Missing Titanic Submarine- new thread

[YoSof]

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

A previous American journalist said he resigned himself to his fate and said he had an almost supernatural experience.

The Anglo Indian CEO and his son, hopefully the father will be calm and will model to his son, if he’s religious this might be something they both do to calm and comfort themselves.

Panic and thrashing about wouldn’t help anyone.

And likewise, you also don't know.
This is a conversation forum. We are allowed to imagine, speculate etc.

Yes, I think there will be a light on the front of the submersible and lights within it, though of course they may be off to conserve battery

No way will the toilet be able to cope with 5 men for more than the expected dive time. They were told not to eat and drink for quite a while before "boarding", so that would help with the toilet situation maybe but hunber and thirst would make them even less able to cope with the situation

I thought it said in a video the lights on the inside were “off the shelf” camping type lights. No something specialist. I wonder if they would have run out of battery by now.

With my parent hat on, I cannot imagine what it would be like knowing your child is two miles below the surface of the ocean and not knowing whether they’re alive or dead. It makes me think of poor Winnie who never found her son’s body after the Moors Murderers abducted and killed him. To live with the knowledge that you have no knowledge must be intolerable. The nightmares the loved ones will have is heartbreaking.

If I was from an insanely wealthy family I think I would do everyThing I could to finance a rescue mission just to attempt to reach closure.

It was a 10 hour dive, 2.5 down and back, plus 4 to 5 hours viewing time. And it does have a very basic toilet.

Sorry, I meant recovery mission in the last sentence, not rescue. Interesting Freudian slip in that although I don’t believe there will be a happy ending , I’m still optimistic enough to hope against hope.

"Surely that's the kind of thing that would crop up when you're doing your risk assessment, so you'd have a plan for that. And that wouldn't affect comms either (probably)."

I am not sure what plan there can be to free a submersible when you only have one and there aren't many in the world that can go to that depth.

I see the French have sent a depth robot that may be able to cut cables etc if that is what has tangled the sub.

Ultimately, it is not possible to eliminate risk in something so extreme.

We keep being told how cheap and easily available beacons are, though. Why no beacon?

You are making that up regarding the times.

Very basic toilet? What does that even mean? A bucket?

This is a bit like mountaineers and climbers who get lost or have accidents and need to be rescued.

I always think they they chose to do stupid, dangerous things, so they are actually really lucky that there are other people who are prepared and willing to rescue them - by putting themselves also in danger.

Very basic toilet? What does that even mean? A bucket?

Apparently it means ziploc bags in a box with a privacy screen.

What good would a beacon be? They are all locked into the submersible.

That in itself would rule out the expedition for me.

It has been widely reported that they went down at 8 am and were due back at 3 pm. That is 7 hours.

And that's going to last four days?

The sooner they'd located them, the more time there would have been for a rescue attempt. We are three days in to four days' worth of oxygen supply, and as far we know, they still haven't been located. A beacon would have the potential to really help.

I cant imagine at this stage in the game that they give a shit, pardon the pun. Cool, calm, collected etc nobody knows what way they will act when literally faced with death and they know what their deaths are likely to be if they are still alive. They will also know how little time they have left.

Pretty sure the quality of toilet facilities are low on priority when you know the oxygen is running out

And that's going to last four days?

I wouldn't have thought so, no.

Which is why I mentioned a few pages before that if they’re rescued you’d hope with their vast wealth they’ll donate to rescue charities or the countries gov departments who are helping them. I mean they probably will but I really hope they do. I’ve noted here but happy to be proved wrong that it seems like it’s mostly men who go on these sort of expeditions, rarely women.

They have no chance. They had no chance in the first place the moment it went missing. I think it'll take another few days or so to locate it and then another few weeks to raise it out.

There will no doubt be a film made about this one day...

Someone has posted a recording of the banging noises on Twitter but not sure how credible it is.

Do you have any idea of how sitting in a sealed capsule with an overflowing bucket of wee and piss with four other males is going to affect air quality and mental health?
