Missing Titanic Submarine- new thread

[YoSof]

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

Why would I make things up? If you go back earlier in this thread you'll see I've contributed many articles over the last 24 hours. I'm bed bound, have nothing else to do, and have done copious amounts around this in the last couple of days. Plus what would making up times achieve?! 🤔

I think basic toilet perhaps means some sort of chemical contraption.

If they are alive it's going to be very much by skin of teeth, there are specialist vessels en route now on the marine traffic site but going to be extremely close and don't they still need to triangulate the banging? I hope they can be saved.

It's a small seat type thing with bucket installed and curtain, a bit like mini portaloo.

It's been widely quoted that the 'research period' was two hours.

A beacon signal couldn't be picked up at that depth. It can't transmit far enough.

They could at least locate it. They have equipment in place to try to effect a rescue, their major problem now is finding them.

It's extra worrying, aquifer previous trip they "lost" the sub for 5 hours, and a journalist witnessed it. The CEO was saying they'd fit becomes but obviously never happened.

It's normal for these to have a beacon operated independently of main power supply, and a flashing lights that activates upon surfacing to help locate them. This had nothing.

Oh yes. I've done it many times🙄

And when someone you love it at risk, you are more likely to find it difficult to keep your calm because you are worrying about the other person.

The journalist who was on an earlier (terrifying) expedition said that the "toilet' was pretty much a ziplock bag placed under a seat.

Ok. I don't want to bicker on this topic, it feels wrong. I do genuinely feel emotions of frustration and anger at the venture - NOT at the specific individuals as humans, which is why I reiterated in my original comment that on the human level I feel for all of them and desperately hope they are saved. I feel angry that billionaires are able to swerve otherwise mandated health and safety guidelines and mandates because they can afford to self fund, etc etc. But let's leave this now.

@Emotionalsupportviper I think the lack of a proper toilet is the least of their issues

No. They showed the portable toilet. It’s basically a plastic milk bottle which you wee in and then shove in a sealed container. No idea how they do the number twos. Maybe this is why they were told not to eat first.

Right. I don't get why everyone is on here arguing over the toilet. Makes you all sound slightly unhinged.

A rescue person on the radio said that even if they do find them there’s probably no way to actually bring them up . There’s no rescue hatch , no way to supplement their oxygen without opening the pod and drowning them. Apparently nothing has ever been brought up from that depth .

It is going to seriously affect air quality, especially as fear loosens bowels.

And if anyone has died already (which is possible) decomposition may have set in - cold temperatures can delay it, obviously, but the body heat of the trapped men may mean that it is warmer in there than we might expect.

This entire thread is unhinged. And morbid.

I thought there was a US Navy sub that would be able to haul them up? If they're in a position for a winch to be placed around them of course. It seems unlikely they are in such a position as if they are able to be winched up then surely they would have floated up by now?

Well that isn’t true. It’s been widely reported that the US Navy salvaged a crashed fighter jet from a similar depth last year, using equipment which had been taken to the scene of this incident. Unfortunately they can’t deploy the equipment until they locate the sub.

The way they would be rescued is to bring the Titan to the surface. If it is stuck on the Titanic’s wreckage, then a remotely operated submersible could be used to help free it, and then in theory it should be able to float to the surface itself.

Or if necessary a submersible could be used to attach a line to it, and it could then be winched up to the surface by a ship.

Let's be honest here. There's no way that anyone is alive in that capsule if it's down by the either halves of the Titanic wreck. If the capsule is on the sea, four days in a sealed environment isn't going to be pretty. If it has somehow managed to land on a remote beach, island, they can't get out.

Horrific as that might seem it's not unhinged. It's being realistic.

God it's just so grim

You are reading it.....

Don't you think they are busy composing notes to their loved ones, expressing their last wishes about heirs etc.? Is an obvious thing they "can" do.

At least they've moved on from the "playstation controller" - constantly after someone explained the same are used on US Navy submarines

Would they even be able to locate and raise Titan? Is it even possible when they can't even bring the remains of the Titanic victims up for a proper burial?
