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.

The fact we are less than 15 hours until their oxygen is due to run out is truly terrifying.

If they are alive - and I still hold hope they are - I can only imagine the conditions they are in. Aside from being cramped and traumatised they have been inhaling each other's sweat, breath and waste (that toilet won't be enough to carry four days worth of shit and piss) since Sunday. They must be feeling sick as dogs 😷

Really? No

It is possible to care about more than one thing at the same time. Empathy isn’t finite!! I very much care about the Greek Migrant Boat disaster, it was truly awful and tragic and the Greek coastguard do indeed have a lot of questions to answer. More needs to be done to help those fleeing war zones and unsafe countries so they don’t fall into the hands of merciless people traffickers.
I’m also able to think that the news about the submersible is awful too.

Why would they drink each others?!

How long was the original trip supposed to take? I am guessing a matter of hours?

I was just able to open the site and I'm horrified. It says:

2023 Expedition
Currently underway
Inquire for available dates

And there's a little form to fill in (or number to call) for your inquiry that includes the question: where did you hear about us?

A passenger said at the end of their sales video "as there's more publicity, everyone will be fighting for a spot on this ship."

I can't believe this site hasn't been taken down or turned black or something.

2 hours down, 3-4 hours to explore, 2 hours back

So 7-8h

GB News (so it could be bollocks) reporting that the banging was “SOS”

They are probably a little busy right now.

It may not even be man-made… there are a lot of weird noises under the sea, and they can be transmitted a long way.

Unless it was literally tapping out SOS in morse code, it was probably just another boat’s engine or an oil platform or something.

I would file that under bollocks.

Also, it seems naval protocol is to bang hard for 3 minutes every half an hour, rather than SOS

When I look at the vids of the owner showing off the death trap, I feel real shock at his arrogance.

There were some children trapped in a cave a few years back (Thailand??) and their rescuers said they could “ Smell them” as they approached.

The smell of human waste and fear.

It must be unendurable for those trapped .

The sheer conceit of the owner putting other lives at risk beggars belief.

I imagine you'd get used to the smell though?

I tried to log on to their webpage and it seemed to be down, there are some incredible videos on their FB page, but I still don't get the gratification of going on an extreme expedition to view it through a porthole. I hope to god they are somehow miraculously rescued.

As an aside and very, very superficial under the circumstances, but isn't Stockton Rush, an absolutely incredible name.

The US Navy recovered a very expensive plane in 2022 from that depth so it can be done but not without a clock ticking.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-navy-extracted-a-jet-fighter-from-12-400-feet-below-the-south-china-sea/

The more I read this story the more absurd it gets. The step son of the billionaire guy is tweeting stuff like this:

twitter.com/audioguy182/status/1671519062965329922?t=88cblWqMW0h_woAjfqv3IA&s=19

They phrased it “a source close to GB News” and not “a source close to the rescue” which made it sound like it was the bloke who makes the tea

Survival trainers teach very definitely not doing that....it actually increases your rate of dehydration.

There is no “could be” about it 🤣

It could be a case of protecting top secret equipment. Not a matter of 'ours is better than yours' but a case of 'we don't want to reveal our technology that we have spent billions on developing in order to hopefully have the upper hand in the case of war on what is probably a fruitless task.'
