Now you smooth brains may say “but wait gasman, this thing went down on Monday”. Easily explained by reporters bamboozling the time due to the sub diving in UTC time
You dont know wtf you are talking about bro… pipe down

I'm sure recovering the crushed tube would be very easy if it would have held together. Being carbon fiber with titanium endcaps, the end caps may have survived the implosion and might be recoverable. Aint no bodies coming back from this though.
Eta: there's likely just small pieces of the tube left scattered around. Carbon fiber is not very malleable and would have largely blown and splintered apart

Do we even have any submersibles that can also be used to recover the missing sub?
We are fresh out of Howard Hughes.

I just find it interesting the experience the people have.
the 2 adventurer guys have done these type dives a bunch
they also repeatedly recovered stuff from the titanic wreck.
they were pros at this kind of stuff, and one would assume, inspected all the equipment before hand.
and the pakistani was close to being the richest guy in pak. a pakistani bill gates/elon/bezos, and was involved with the seti institute, you know, the guys searching for aliens.
$250K would be chump change. don't need to find the cheapest ride.
now we have nasa admitting they were involved "somehow"
and the "lost gal" to boot. her accts seem to have been "cleaned up" since monday, but her friends were havin' meltdowns that she was on it.
I think there are more facts to uncover before this is done

Anyone who’s crazy enough to go that far down into ocean depths where it’s nearly impossible to get rescued has a death wish. It’s like going to outer space. It’ll be a miracle if they find the sub at this point.

Though not directly related to the current event, the link below details the sinking of a WWII Japanese submarine. I had heard of this story years ago, but this video describes in detail the tracking, attack and destruction of the vessel. It includes the actual audio of the submarine's screws, explosion and breakup. IIRC, it was one, if not the first taped audio of a submarine breakup. 109 sailors went down with it.

Some of the ballast is abandoned construction pipes that are sitting on shelves on the side of the thing, and the way you detach the ballast is you get everybody ob-board to lean to one side of the sub and they roll off,' he explained.

the super rich are just living in a different reality
there has been nothing about any of what I've read and seen about this little excursion that would EVER make me interested in going even if someone paid for my ticket

Im trying to wrap my mind around the sub "imploding" and the sheer physics and violence but its difficult.

Seems like they got what they paid for then.
"Sub" par results.

Yea, I doubt they get anything back from it.
I guess a better way to phrase my question is, even if the sub was intact and the people were still alive, is there a vessel that could even rescue a sub that deep? I don't think there is, but my knowledge is limited to deep sea documentaries.

Burning alive would certainly be bad but imo, this is worse since it started out as a pleasure trip and then a horrific nightmare of hope one second and despair the next …for days.
Witnessing the slow suffocation of other passengers all the while, knowing that you’ll also experience the same slow suffocation … has to be beyond horrific
