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?
Sadly no. It probably had a leak and everyone was instantly crashed like a pop can…
They are lost. Even if they found them alive, they can't transfer them off the vehicle. they are even bolted in. the shell is made from 5 inch thick spun titanium carbon fiber with a bonded ring and a metal cap on each end. the pressure vessel most probably shattered then everything got squished.
edit for spelling
If they're not already dead, they're going to be soon. The capsule has no hatch and can't be located, let alone dragged back to the surface. They were fucked the second they bolted that death trap shut.
I see this a lot but this thing was successfully used for a very long time and has successfully completed over 200 dives. The hull of this craft was built and designed in a partnership between Boeing and MIT it's not just some random thing made in a garage. The company is very open about the fact this is dangerous and make quite a big deal of it since that is part of the appeal for the people who sign up for this. You have to sign numerous wavers. I really cannot hold OceanGate at fault here from what I know so far. Perhaps there was something they've done but from what I've seen if the conditions aren't perfect and everything doesn't check out the cancel the dive or do an alternative one they make it very clear it might not happen and they make their money either way so they have no financial incentive to increase risk.
Just like people insulting the individuals inside. I hate billionaires as much as the next guy. But one of the guys was just doing his job and had been to the Titanic over 35 times in this thing. The operator was also an experienced diver just doing his job. Even one of the tourist was a consummate diver with experience on submarine operations. This seem to have been an unfortunate accident. Going so deep is inherently extremely risky, but these people knew what they were doing. It's off putting reading a bunch of people talking out of their asses about something they don't understand just to make morbid jokes.
Probably not. Pretty shitty way to go out to be honest.
I've read that the sub in question was only rated for 1300 ft, and they were taking it on dives of up to 4000 ft. Unless the sub surfaced as part of a safety protocol, there is an exceedingly high probability that the sub imploded and killed everybody.
The rescue would be miraculous. So, no. Sadly.
No. Chances are high that that submarine just imploded in a millisecond and they just instantly died. Why else would it stop sending pings and completely dissappear otherwise?
My guess is no. The delay in getting the search up and running. Time to search. Something went wrong, likely that didn't help them live. I'm sure they'll find the coffin and recover it.
Strange question... did you post it in 'no stupid questions' for a specific reason?
They're reporting hearing bangs underwater, so hopefully at least one of them is still alive.
Short answer: no
Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOO
Best thing they can do is for most of them to go to sleep and conserve oxygen. Good luck sleeping while afraid for your life though.
