2.5 miles below the surface in a small touring sub sounds dangerous. Hope they are found ok.

A submersible used to take people to view the wreck of the Titanic has gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean, sparking a search and rescue mission.
The Boston Coastguard told the BBC on Monday that an operation to find it was under way.
It is not clear how many people, if any, were on board at the time it went missing.
Small submersibles occasionally take paying tourists and experts to view the wreck of the Titanic.
Multi day trips to the wreck cost tens of thousands of dollars and one dive to Titanic, including both the descent and the ascent, reportedly takes around eight hours.
The famous shipwreck sits 3,800m (12,500ft) down at the bottom of the Atlantic. It is about 600km (370 miles) off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
The passenger liner, which was the largest ship of its time, hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York in 1912. Of the 2,200 passengers and crew onboard, more than 1,500 died.

Stuck in the wreckage is my guess.

What’s the rescue plan in case something goes wrong with the sub?
Nothing will go wrong with it, we won’t need a rescue plan.
(I hope this isn’t the reality out there)

You edited but it was pretty cool clicking the quoted article and it pulling up the link.

How could anyone be expected to know such a thing?

Even with stupid amounts of money, that is not an adventure i would ever want to go on.
If something goes wrong, there is nothing you or anyone else can do or help you with

Same thing as small plane - nothing.

Cross your fingers. Hopefully James Cameron's woke arse is the only one onboard.

Elon to the rescue..........probably.

Sounds bad. There are no small problems and little room for error in that environment.

Add another thing to the list of things I would never ever do.

If they can’t find it my guess is it imploded

I was today years old when i learned that the Titanic wreckage is only a few hundred miles off the coast of Canada… Not sure where i thought it was, but considering the vastness of the Earth’s oceans, that’s not too far away .

Maybe they hit an iceberg down there.

Ironic

This is why they call it a bucket list.

I'd be crushed...
