Missing Titan Sub! Thread 3

[Badabingbadaboomm]

OP of the last thread has said she has to pop out so making this one as we’re almost full on the 2nd thread.

I cannot stop thinking about these poor men.

Is someone able to explain what the original plan was? Were they just going to look out of that tiny window at the titanic? Obviously they weren’t going to get out so how would they have seen anything?

There were also two screens inside I believe.

We all spend money unnecessarily.

Not to the extent they have, but i'm sure you have wasted money when it could have gone to a better cause.

I woke up in the night thinking of this and checked the news hoping it had been found.

I feel quite upset this morning strangely as the deadline looms. I cannot imagine how their loved ones are feeling.

Yeah, my head says they are dead or soon will be but my heart is still saying, "there is hope".

After your description I have just ordered it 😁

Not thousands of pounds/dollars/whatever currency.
Lesson learnt...don't fuck with graveyards.

'
I think they have about 5 hours of oxygen left.
It’s not going to happen in time is it?
If they pinpoint them now it will be 2.5 hours down, free them from whatever is stopping them surfacing, attach a line and 2.5 hrs back up.'

The calculations have a margin of error because so much is unknown. They aren't going to all die in exactly 5 hours - they may already have died, they may not run out of oxygen until later today. I imagine if they find the sub today one or two passengers may still be alive.

I hope so.

I still can’t believe they were getting away with this, as it is totally unsafe. They went missing for 2 hours last year.

I posted on the previous thread about a great film called ‘last breath’ about a deep sea diving incident that happened a few years ago, even when done in a highly regulated environment, with all the gear, things can still go wrong. it is an absolutely brilliant film and only about 90 mins long. It’s well worth a watch.

God help them all.

Like fly paper?

That's not the point.

Like I said I'm sure you have wasted money on random stuff (bottles of coke, none essentials) when it could have gone in a charity bucket for example.

By unnecessary, do you also include holidays where potentially there might be plane crashes or ferry disasters? Or going to theme parks? Or buying a nice car? All these things come with risks and people have died because of them. Should you donate all your holiday money to a good cause? Just because they are wealthy does not mean they have to donate all the money they own to good causes and if they don’t do they really deserve that fate?

Why have you quoted me in this?

The PP I have quoted in my post has commented on the charity cause, saying all the money could have gone to saving lives and finding a cure for cancer.

Read the thread first before quoting me.

I feel sick. The deadline is looming. I woke up several times last night checking the news. My heart breaks for them

I hope they now can this, it's clearly unsafe and the operator and users have just been lucky so far.

It's so sad, there should have been enough time to find them with the tech available, but clearly that tech isn't on board.

Devastated for the families. I can't even come close to imagining how it's been for the men on board 😞

Has anyone watched Take me to Titanic on bbc iPlayer? Worth a watch. The last visitors were prepared to sleep on the sub overnight in order not to miss seeing the ship. It was all so 😳. Especially watching it whilst knowing what we do now! Prayers for them all.

‘All that money could have gone to good use such as finding cures for cancer’

"It’s not going to happen in time is it?"

No it's not. The most likely scenario is that the submersible imploded under the pressure on the way down so there is not much left of it to find.

But assuming it is still in one piece then in the limited time left then given they haven't even found it yet there would be no time left to organise a near impossible recovery from 4km deep.

I found the following rescue story interesting which was the deepest rescue in history at 480 metres deep.

The PP I quoted in one of my posts said that the money they spent on this trip could have gone to a better cause i.e. trying to find a cure for cancer.

So I said we all spend money unnecessarily and that I'm sure she has too.

So please read before quoting me. Thanks.

They aren’t going to be saved. I think it’s unlikely they are still alive. The most likely explanation is they died on the day they went missing. Awful day for their loved ones though.

Sorry. That was my mistake. I meant @Mumto1boyo

Human being ‘fuck with graveyards’ all the time. We reuse them and build on them constantly.

I watched Titanic- Into the Heart of the Wreck on channel 4 last night. There were interviews with Paul-Henri Nargeolet, it made me feel very unsettled watching him so animated about the expeditions he had completed, knowing what was happening currently. It’s all so horrifying and sad.

I'm thinking today also about the firefighter who has gone missing on a charity swim across the Channel, Iain Hughes. They've just called off the search for him. What a beautiful and dangerous world we live in
