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?
Lost subs don’t tend to have happy endings. Was there ever a successful rescue at all?
The deepest rescue in history was 1500ft. They went to 13000 ft in a tube not up to safety standards, they are well and truly fucked. Even if emergency mechanisms made them surface then they’re still locked inside because they can’t open it from the inside, floating somewhere right beneath the surface of the ocean.
This same company, OceanGate, had lost a sub for 2 hours on a previous trip. So maybe encouraged recklessness.
