    I’m not sure which of all the potential scenarios they could be in are the worst.

    Floating on the surface, seeing the hope of survival through the window whilst being able to do nothing about it; trapped on the ocean floor being able to see nothing but each breath; or the sinister creaking that forewarns sudden breach and implosion.

    I’m just going to tell myself they’ve all turned pirate and made for the Carribbean. No tragedy here! No sireeee.

        Knowing you have about 12-15hours left. And the owner of the company is on board.

        I mean even if they find it NOW, is that even enough time to bring it up? The whole process with depressurization is quite slow, they would have to get oxygen supply down there. Not even talking about the means required to get down there.

        Edit: The failsaves should have apprently brought it up to the surface. Even if the crew is passed out.

      One thing that struck me as really odd though. With all the safety mechanism in place to get the thing back to the surface and they paint it fucking white? That thing should be neon yellow or something.

      Also, wouldn’t they run out of oxygen relatively soon? I guess they expect the sub to be found quickly after resurfacing. Real nightmare stuff…

      You got it all wrong. They crash landed on a deserted isle. This is all according to the prophecy: Five passengers set sail that day For a three hour tour, a three hour tour. […] The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle …something something

      Or even if they have the electricity to be able to see at all.

      It occurred to me that their final moments could truly be: trapped in an airtight tube, 3,800m below the surface, dwindling air supply, and no. light. Pitch darkness. No way to know if anyone is coming, how long you’ve been down there, or if the sub will instead (mercifully) give way to the pressure and crush you instantaneously and without warning.
