Imploding or running outta air, Titanic sub disaster, pick your death!!

[Catman10]

We do so many crazy things in life and this is a hard one for me, would you rather die instantly from implosion have to spend 4 days with 5 people in a very small space knowing that you will run out air, no communication with the outside world and stuck in a dark cold place with no chance of helping yourself get outta this pickle. I also wonder how you would deal with bathroom issues, man it would be a long wait for help, if you had a gun on board would you exercise that or wait till your last breath hoping to be rescued? Netflix movie coming soon I am sure.

Heard the billionaire owner of the company is down there as well. He went up in I think Bezos rocket earlier and has been in sub to bottom of Mariana Trench recently. His luck may have finally run out.

Be a long painful wait. I heard they have up to 96hrs of air. Be a long time probably in pitch black. Instant death would be welcome if you were sitting there struggling to breathe

Sonar has picked up noise on 30min intervals so likely they're banging on the walls, horrible situation but hopefully they can locate with a drone sub and connect a cable to pull them up. Ocean bottom is 12,500'

no amount of $$$$$$$$$$$ can get you out of that pickle

One of the news reporters said there is no way to rescure them if they are at the bottom

Sad or unfortunate situation indeed...

I Hope for the best too the friends and family (s) of those involved including the rescue teams on seen...

 

[TROLLCAT]

watched a US tv report from a few years ago and the reporter kinda called this operation pretty sketchy, the submersible is Macgyvered and used nitido game controller

Ya know I get taking on a little risk for experiences. but this is something no matter how much money I had I wouldn't risk something like that. this operation and the sub has been called into question numerous times in the past.

that said I would wait it out until I could tell the air was running out......then I'd want it to be over.

What you would do for a cheap quansheng radio about now.

If it was 4 other women then I would wait till we ran out of oxygen. That 4 day supply would only last for 2…

Other women?

this is a f**ked up situation. They have tracked down a winch rig with enough cable that can winch the sub to the surface ( if they find it ) however it just left newfoundland and by the time it arrives to the area they will be long out of oxygen before the other sub that's enroute can hook the cable to it and yank it out. Thats a big operation in itself hooking a 13000ft cable to a submersible with another submersible.

I'm pretty sure it imploded for all of the safety and communication backups to fail instantly like that. there was multiple communication and resurfacing redundancies that haven't been used.

the worst part is, the hatch is secured with bolts from the outside so even if it magically came to the surface they can still die because they cant get out.

thats one mission i wont be signing up for. Im good with the new 3d model and photos

sudden death for me please.

 

[niner]

Other women?

It’s 5 dudes in there now. I’ll take sudden death.

The fact that they go to 4000m and have glass window that's rated for 1300m tells you all you need to know about this sub. Oh yeah and the guy that brought up this issue was fired.

The five-person submersible weighs 20,000 pounds and is capable of diving 13,120 feet

I'm a bit surprised at the levity and humour in various posts. Five people are dying as we speak, or already dead.
