|I heard this on the car radio, it doesn't look good. Over 9 hours since they heard anything, thye'd be running out of air by now. | | | |

Don't care how much money I had, no way would I spend any of it to sit in a tin tube to go down 2 miles to see a sunken ship. Hope they are found safe. |  |

They just interviewed a bloke on the news that did the trip last year, he said we all knew the risk before getting on board because the waiver we signed mentioned death three times on the first page |  | | |

Agreed.
They could have bought the Swans instead.
I hope they are all found safe and well. |  |

"Underwater noises have been detected by a Canadian aircraft in the search area for the missing submersible, according to the US Coast Guard. Searches yielded negative results but will continue. The data has been shared with the US Navy experts for further analysis, the Coast Guard said.
Search crews have heard banging sounds at 30-minute intervals, according to US media. CNN and Rolling Stone cited internal government memos saying banging had been detected, and reported that after additional devices were deployed four hours later, noises were still heard. The memos did not clarify when on Tuesday the banging was heard, or for how long.
The Explorers Club, of which two passengers in the missing sub are members, says there is “cause for hope” based on field data, asserting that “likely signs of life have been detected at the site”.
The submersible’s hatch appears to be bolted from the outside. So even if the sub has surfaced and is spotted by search operations, the danger is not over, as the crew inside would still need to rely on emergency oxygen to breathe until the hatch is opened by rescue teams.
The Titan crew is estimated to be down to about 30 hours of breathable air. "
Experts reckon it takes any rescue "sub" approx 8 hours to reach the sea bed, and there's only a 1% chance of getting them out alive!! |  |

The thing is when you got all the money in the world people don't say no to you and you think you're invincible. On the flip side why the fleck would you even want to go down there? |  |

They have more money than common sense. As for hunting in Africa, they should be shot. |  |

Hopefully wrong but the chances of these people surviving this situation has to be extremely slim.
It just makes you wonder how some people can put themselves into a vessel of this kind, get bolted inside so there are no means of escape with the vessel itself being controlled by a ‘Play Station’ type control pad… sheer madness. |  | | |

Agreed totally.

Right am I the only who thinks it's inexusable that this sub was not attached to a line (flexible cable or whatever) to either a ship on the surface or to a bouy. Yes 4 miles of cable is not cheap...but if you are charging 250k a pop...surely it's in everyone's interest.
Maybe I'm missing something...but this simple measure would have been a life saver. [Post edited 21 Jun 2023 23:22]

Yes I know a cable could snag somewhere around the wreck...but at least you would know where it is. [Post edited 21 Jun 2023 21:58]

I thought the same thing. It seems madness not to do it. | |

yeah I couldn't believe that when I read it - a craft 4000 metres down being steered by a play station handset - for that reason alone I would have been out. | | | |

Reports seem to suggest this expedition took place in International Waters no official maritine procedures needed to be followed , risk assessment , coastguard involvment and other H+S rules have been overlooked .
Myself , hand over £ 200 k to sit in a unauthorised accident waiting to happen , no way .
That said , lets hope there is a good outcome and all are safe . | | | |

even if the sub was on the surface, they couldn't get out as its bolted from the outside | |

I think there's some kind of curse surrounding the Titannic the deaths when being built and hitting the ice berg on her maiden voyage and the "unsinkable " sinking . Today I found out the wife of one of the 5 trapped in the submersible is a direct descendant of a couple who perished on the original trip in 1912. | | | |

Bit of a design fault that I’d say. It’s not as if you could open it accidentally at depth due to water pressure. |  |

Debris found which indicates it’s not a happy ending. Very sad. | |
