www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-65953872Potentially 5 people on board who have paid an eye watering sum too be there and it’s lost The hope is it’s surfaced quickly and just not been found yet but if the hull has been compromised or it’s stuck on the ocean bed it’s not good news, there is nothing that can rescue form that depth!

You couldn’t pay me 250k to get in one of those things and go down to the bottom of the friggin ocean. Some people clearly have more money than sense.

I know it’s morbid but how will they die? If what’s been said about a rescue mission that far down being close to impossible, you can only hope there was a breach and a presumably quick/instantaneous death. How long could they survive if nothing catastrophic has taken place? It’s horrendous to imagine. It’s like being buried alive. No way I’d do something like that with the potential for such a horrific death. |

I mean who knew you could stump up 200 grand and go take a look at the Titanic? Disaster tourism for the super rich in the modern age, crazy shit! As stated below, beyond horrendous for anyone who signed up to it. |

The bbc says the sub can support 5 people for 4 days. So I assume that’s how much oxygen they have if the sub is in tact. It’s fucking horrendous to imagine being in that sub right now. But there is an extensive search taking place so maybe there is some hope? Or maybe there is no hope and they have to be seen to be doing something?

It puts me in mind of the Kursk submarine disaster a good many years back where a lot of Russian naval sailors died a slow and terrible death a terrible way too go |

The submarine set up looked a bit of an half arsed shambles from what I’ve read. Most tourist submarines are positively bouyant in case of failure so they can surface without power. At those unbelievable depths I don’t think it could. It’s terrifying that it had no way of navigating itself and a modified gaming console to direct it. Only a miracle can save them.

I think I’d just rather bite a cyanide pill than go through that and survive. |

'No back up, no escape pod': My trip aboard the sub CBS journalist David Pogue was invited to travel on OceanGate's Titan submersible on a press trip last year, to reach the wreckage of the Titanic. He told the BBC that passengers were sealed inside the main capsule by several bolts that were applied from the outside and had to be removed by an external crew. He said he initially thought the sub seemed improvised: "You steer this sub with an Xbox game controller, some of the ballast is abandoned construction pipes." If the sub became trapped or sprung a leak "there's no backup, there's no escape pod", he said. Sounds horrific. |

Or slowly suffocating to death. |

It shows the world we live in today when the media are all over this story with live updates and millions are being pumped into a rescue operation.
Yet when 700 odd migrants die on a boat, a coastguard can't even be fucked to check on the boat when it's having trouble at sea and not moved for hours.
Know your place in society.

I think I’d just rather bite a cyanide pill than go through that and survive. If you are referring to an underwater version of the film "Alive", then surely they still need oxygen to breathe and that's the issue here - it runs out in a couple of days. All thats been established as far as I’ve seen is that the sub can maintain 5 people for 3-4 days. So we are assuming (maybe presumptuously) that this is referring to breathable air, and then assuming (maybe presumptuously again) that this therefore means there is 15-20 days worth for 1 person. But maybe those assumptions are wrong and; 1. The air supply is reliant on an electrical supply that runs out in the aforementioned time, or 2. The air supply level is predetermined, and does not adjust based on what is being consumed (eg constantly measuring co2 levels and other elemental levels and maintaining the air quality that way) in which case it makes no difference to ability to survive how many of you are alive in there. Imagine they launch a rescue mission in the coming days and get down there and find one has wrongly made these presumptions and bumped off everyone else. That would be quite the whoopsie daisy. |
