Titanic Tourist Submarine Goes Missing

Pretty poor that there is a fair chance the vessel is on the surface somewhere, still unable to be found or send any signal, and the occupants still run out of oxygen.

Fair enough on the sea bed, or entangled in the wreckage and lack of gps, radio, tracking, tethers have all been sort of explained by the boffins. But to have zero means of communication, survival or exit even if lost on the surface seems a bit, well, shoddy. If the support boat that took the vessel out there went down after bolting them in, they’d all have died in there even if they only submerged for half an hour and came back to find it gone? Hideously tragic but also very disappointing.

Seems to be more rules, regulations and safety procedures just to sit at my desk at work.
 

Its the young lad that I feel really sorry for. I'm struggling with the others tbh because they're morons. I sincerely hope that a miracle happens and they all get out of this safely. Truth be told though, they really have brought this on themselves and all for such bloody childish, nonsense. The young lad though? He's little more then a kid and his moron Dad has put him in this absolutely awful situation. Its just sickening.

On the exit point, I do remember seeing James Cameron bolted into a capsule for one of his dives and thinking 'bloody hell, do not like the look of that'. Maybe an intrinsic part of the design for something like this? Like, better/safer pressure resistance without a hatch that is one more thing that can fail under pressure?

Totally with you on the comms point, you'd think an automated beacon that pinged as soon as hit air would be attached.
 
About 20 hours of oxygen left.

If it's in deep water they need to locate it very soon. I imagine any attempt to bring it up will take a while.
 
A French robot will be arriving on the scene later today. You'd think that will be their last hope before air runs out.
