Tourist(s) missing in submarine while trying to reach the Titannic

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/u-s-coa...-sub-1.6446841


Quote:
A search and rescue operation is currently underway to locate a submarine that went missing during an expedition to the Titanic.
The U.S. Coast Guard was looking for the submarine Monday morning after it disappeared during the expedition from St. John's, N.L. The infamous 1912 wreck is located more than 600 kilometres southeast of the province in the North Atlantic Ocean.
The trip to the Titanic was being run by OceanGate Expeditions, a U.S.-based company. It uses a five-person submersible named Titan to reach the wreckage 3,800 metres below the surface. OceanGate's website advertises a seven-night voyage to the Titanic for US$250,000 per person, or approximately CA$330,000.
"We are exploring and mobilizing all options to bring the crew back safely," an OceanGate spokesperson said in an email to CTV News. "Our entire focus is on the crewmembers in the submersible and their families."


Those tours are a series of five eight-day missions to the Titanic with the money raised by tourists going towards Titanic research. Posts on social media show the ship launched from the St. John's area last week.

Did they really have 5 people in this?? Or do they have a larger version??

I'll throw in suicide if a person can sharpen a game controller into a blade.

What else do we have? Was there a tiger in the sub? Does it having spinning mixer blades that periodically sweep through the passenger cabin?

I hope these guys get out somehow, but if they do, they should never ever take any kind of risk again. They will have used up all of their luck.

Heard on radio this morning, even if they can get to it, they don't have a way to raise it. It doesn't have any hook points. Because of the fiberglass construction. That's why when they launch it , they push it down a slide off the boat.

Meanwhile the occupants get tossed around like shoes in a dryer, covered in puke and shit while waiting days to slowly suffocate in the darkness.

What a ****ed up way to die.

Can you imagine how desperate you have to be for an adventure to actually pay to get into this death trap? It boggles the mind

Hook point or no - what's gonna manipulate the hook into place? Again - there are maybe a couple of crafts in the world that can get that deep AND have anything that can actually clutch/grab an object.

If it's not on the surface or maybe mid-water, there's just nothing that can be done.

Still not enough time to bring them up. If they aren't dead now, they will be dying in that sub.

Unfortunate but their choice. I'm sure any one of us could have helped them find a better way spending a quarter of a million dollars though.

Dumdums didn't know they could see the exact same thing on youtube for free with 100% less risk.

Assuming normal breathing cycles and that their math is correct of course.

Considering how panicked they must be, that oxygen must be depleting faster than their formulas suggest.

I may have missed it - had this sub successfully made the trip down to the Titanic & back up again prior to this trip?
