re: Titanic tourist submarine goes missing

I'm going to guess the conspiracy possibility has been discussed?
I imagine there are lots of reasons a billionaire may want to 'suddenly and publicly die at sea in a tragic submarining accident'.
Anybody check the Argentina coast line for the sub?

Just bumping to get the real thread above the duplicate.

Good point. And this Corcannon guy is going to look out for the company’s best interest (and optics).

Is this thing really missing or do they just have no way of retrieving it?

Wtf land on it? They want to get out and take pictures??
Not calling you out baw. Just the thought behind a pilot of this thing wanting to actually get that close.

I'm not claustrophobic, but I can't imagine being bolted in to something that small with no way out on my own, for 8 hours - much less 96.
I'd honestly pray for implosion rather than stranded on the bottom waiting to run out of oxygen.

It's missing. There's no excuse for not having an acoustic beacon on the thing.
They did have an acoustic messaging system which allows phones to receive and send text messages but that communication stopped for whatever reason.

The whatever reason is implosion. More than likely the shock from that blasted the beacon as well, hence why the motherships USBL can’t locate it.

If it implodes at that depth, your brain doesn’t even have enough time to realize it’s happening.

I'm guessing vis was bad, sub gets closer to give passengers a better view, they underestimate current(s) and wind up caught up in the wreckage (loose cables)
In the video segment done by the reporter who rode in the thing, they went down two times, and missed the target zone altogether one of those times. With that type of track record, who's to say they didn't land smack dab in the middle of the wreckage and get trapped immediately. Or they simply imploded due to stresses in the carbon fiber matrix incurred by multiple trips to depth.

Probably took the names down on a napkin while driving to best buy to replace the controller for the ship.

My money is on implosion
People inside it probably had no idea what the frick happened before they died at that pressure. Be a lot better than drowning.
That’s my best bet too.
Second best, maybe some oxygen/CO2 malfunction and everybody went to sleep. I guess that could mean it’s intact and adrift below.
The mention of a search for a debris field favors implosion wouldn’t you think?
In any event RIP.

I doubt these intensive tests were ever taken for this thing.

Takes 2.5 to 3 hours to get to the wreck, so it probably was a power failure or implosion while descending.
It would stick out like a sore thumb if it landed on the wreck afterwards as it came to rest at the bottom.
Usually submersibles descend in the bow debris field and move towards the bow section.
But who knows how accurate this company was with their trips.
But they likely didn’t make it to full depth before it went dark or was crushed.

The text messaging “navigation system” has gone out on previous trips, doesn’t necessarily mean implosion.

How long does it take to travel down to the wreck? I seem to recall it taking a good while
About 2 and a half hours
