Bet there on the rations now. Eating boiled sweets and each others ass.

Worth 250k of anyone's money that.


Literally getting the life sucked out your fart pipe.


What a way to go

Be more mollusc like due to the restricted space

The one silver lining is the CEO of the submersible company is down there and all. Smarmy little get went to press the flesh and now he’s chewing their meaty farts for sustenance.

Should the worst happen/have happened, at least his shady practices won’t put anyone else at risk.

My friend sent me a tweet question: "what would you do if you only had 40 hours left on a submarine with strangers"

Would make a banger thread.

Murder the kopite first.


There's always one of the pricks wherever you go

Titan sub - loaded - just over 11 tons.
Titanic - displacement 52,310 tons.

I realise technology has done a lot since 1912 but it (Titanic) stayed hidden by the ocean for 73 years. The debris field is what gave her up eventually. If they could get deep sea sonar subs down to the area they think it's in, then maybe they could scan and review and narrow the field, but this thing could be powerless, so is most likely in darkness and for all they know went crashing through the decks of the wreck and would never be seen for decades.

If it’s come to rest anywhere in the vicinity of actual wreck, the odds of locating it have to impossibly small. As you mentioned, the shipwreck debris is what eventually led to Titanic’s discovery, but imagine how many other chunks of metal bigger than this sub are just strewn across the sea floor. This will just one more piece in a junkyard containing thousands of items.

I didn’t realize until I read on another forum, but nothing from that Malaysian Airlines flight that disappeared has ever been found and it’s almost been ten years. Granted, this is obviously a much narrower search area, but they’re also going to be searching for a very specific needle, located within a stack of needles. I’ll be shocked if it’s ever located.

I hope the search is called off within the next two days. There can surely be no justification to spending millions of taxpayer dollars on people who willingly signed up to go on that deathtrap. Once these 96 hours are up and you know those inside have died, get out of there.

Also who names anything 'Titan'? Just begging for trouble, should have realised that by the ship it was trying to visit. Out of the three Olympic class liners only the one named after the Olympian Greek Gods survived, while the ones named after the Gods that were defeated by the Olympians (Titans and Gigantes) both sank.

Superstitious clap trap or another piece of evidence?

If this thing is in the debris field, with how the debris field has been poured over for certain things* it'll be found so long as the weather and season for search allows, so could well be this month. Those square miles of seabed are (after the oil hot spots) the most searched and documented on the planet.

It's a home run if they've crash landed in the bow though, again recent documentation of the wreck will pick it out in seconds, the moneys there, it could be the life insurance types that fund it. The Bernoulli's brigade will be on with fluid and flow models about expected trajectory, it can't have gone that far from breach. This is also a modern composite item, the stuff rusting down there has had 111 years to decay. It's the boilers that stand last, and they're unstable in the aft section.


Olympic's screws.
