For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires' son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).
They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They've been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they'll make it?
No. Chances are high that that submarine just imploded in a millisecond and they just instantly died. Why else would it stop sending pings and completely dissappear otherwise?
It really depends on how they went. Sudden implosion of the hull, quick and easy.
Floating around for days until your air runs out, wondering if someone will find you... Not so much.
I don't like millionaires/billionaires but I wouldn't wish that kind of harrowing ordeal on anyone. I hope they survive somehow.
Sadly, I think they are screwed, they either imploded, they are trapped and dying/dead somewhere with no means of rescue, or possibly surfaced with no comms and stranded somewhere. They ded.
With all the news I keep hearing. I dont think they will survive. I guess thats one less billionaires in the world. Probaby for the better.
At this point, I'd be surprised if they were ever found. Assuming the sub is still intact and not wondering aimlessly, the sheer size of the search area makes it difficult to find the sub.
Sadly no. It probably had a leak and everyone was instantly crashed like a pop can…
My guess is money will save them. I'm only slightly joking
Best thing they can do is for most of them to go to sleep and conserve oxygen. Good luck sleeping while afraid for your life though.
I think they discovered the crush depth of their sub was a little shallower than they thought it would be, and are all already dead. The search team says they heard a banging sound, but they’re next to a huge old wreck full of old garbage that is a probably the source of a lot of banging sounds.
Nope. Our orca friends made sure of it.
Nope sadly a 250k coffin
I mean, I hope they survive but I'm not holding my breath.
Either way I hope someone like James Cameron makes a movie about it. A 21st century Das Boot could be good
I think we all hope they get rescued but if they are on the bottom of the ocean the odds are not in their favor. Even if they are located in time it will take forever to attach a line to the craft and pull it up.
Why didn't they have a plan of action for this? Why did they not think to put a location beacon on the craft, or a means of communication????
Probably not. Pretty shitty way to go out to be honest.
Negative. I don’t think we’ll even find wreckage, and if we do, reaching it will be difficult and expensive.
