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?
My guess is money will save them. I'm only slightly joking
depends on if its o2 depletion or implosion
the second one is quick and easy. the first one would be tough. imagine dying breath by breath. most people aren't afraid of death, it's the dying part...
That depends on if their CO2 scrubbing lasts longer than their O2 supply. Your body can't actually feel a lack of O2, the feeling most people associate with suffocation is actually your body detecting a build up of CO2 in your blood. If they can keep scrubbing the CO2 out of the air after they run out of O2 then they'll just start to get lightheaded, kind of drunk feeling, tired, and eventually just pass out and die. You actually barely feel it happening which is why O2 sensors are so important when working in poorly ventilated confined spaces. I know this first hand because I work with bulk liquid nitrogen and I've damn near knocked myself out a couple times via an inert gas cloud. One moment you're perfectly fine, then you just start to black out and it dulls your senses so much that you don't even have the brain power to process what's happening. Them running out of oxygen more slowly will extend that process a bit but it still isn't a painful process and the thought numbing effect from your brain running out of oxygen keeps it from even feeling particularly alarming.
So as long as they can keep scrubbing CO2 then at least they won't die a particularly "unpleasant" death. That is assuming the sub didn't just pop from pressure like you said.
Idk sounds pretty bad to me
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.
They're reporting hearing bangs underwater, so hopefully at least one of them is still alive.
They forgot to charge the pad and didn’t bring the USB cable, so no. They’re doomed, unfortunately.
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????
Lost subs don't tend to have happy endings. Was there ever a successful rescue at all?
Negative. I don’t think we’ll even find wreckage, and if we do, reaching it will be difficult and expensive.
I told my wife last night that I was glad to be broke for once in my life, lol
I don't care how much money I had, there's no fucking way I would have gotten on that thing or done anything that involved going down into the ocean at that depth.
From what I've heard by experts, no. That chance is now extremely slim. Basically they then need to be found on the water surface. It's a complex logistical challenge to lift a submersible at these incredible depth. I think certainly not done over a day or two even working around the clock.
And what's worse now is they've apparently heard banging noises which indicates they are submerged. :-(
Nope sub rescues are hard in shallow lakes. In the deep ocean they are boned. Unless they surfaced consider them dead
My understanding is that chances are slim to none. I understand that whatever malfunction happened that cut the contact, has some likelihood to have been a much greater malfunction than just radio, and that they’ve quite possibly already been dead a while.
And even if not, my understanding is that they’re scanning a massive swath of sea and it’s very much a needle-in-a-haystack situation. I wouldn’t be surprised if the only reason such an unlikely operation is taking place, is because the people involved can afford it.
They didn't have radio communication. Water is really good at blocking all signals.
