re: Titanic tourist submarine goes missing

Maybe on the way down they encountered some hungry sawfish who decided to saw off the bolts holding the front section on:

Hopefully they find the sub soon. For our non oilfield baws who aren’t well versed in subsea ROV ops, rigging that thing up and connecting it to the crane at 12,000+ feet ain’t as easy as it sounds. But you give an ROV pilot enough Red Bull and nicotine and they can get it done

I think these wealthy folks just wanted to get off the radar/grid. Staged this whole thing and are on their way (probably already there) to a secluded island. Likely chilling with Tupac on a beach right now.

The same submersible got lost for 5 hours in 2022
WHAT A CLUSTERfrick ON AN OPERATION

A CBS correspondent who tried the now-missing tourist submersible said on Tuesday that the vessel got lost for several hours during a dive in 2022.
...he was in the control room of the submersible's mother ship at the time, he tweeted on Tuesday, adding that the crew shut off the internet on board.
"They could still send short texts to the sub, but did not know where it was," Pogue wrote. "It was quiet and very tense, and they shut off the ship's internet to prevent us from tweeting."

Because the submersible, called the Titan, goes so deep underwater, the only way it can communicate with its mother ship is via text messages, per OceanGate. And the Titan isn't able to reliably navigate on its own, so it has to receive instructions from the ship on the surface.
The Titan can take up to 10 hours to reach the ocean floor and return, according to the website of the organization that operates the submersible, OceanGate Expeditions.
After the Titan got lost, one of the people who went on that dive told CBS that the group was lost for around "two and a half hours." However, Pogue tweeted on Tuesday that the Titan was lost for around five hours.
On Pogue's podcast, "Unsung Science," the reporter documented how the crew on the ship ran into communication issues with the submersible and struggled to help it navigate to the wreck of the Titanic — which passengers paid $250,000 each to see.
The occupants and pilot in the submersible were unable to find the wreck due to the confusion, and were underwater for a total of more than 10 hours before being told to resurface, per Pogue.

The CEO of OceanGate, which is operating the missing Titanic tourist submarine, explains that the company didn’t want to hire any experienced “50 year old white guys” because they weren’t “inspirational.”

yet, they are probably calling in a bunch of 50 yr old white guys to try to save their dumbasses.

Here is a good question. 5 people onboard breathing oxygen. You have a pocket knife and are stuck onboard. Do you attempt to kill the 4 other passengers to give yourself more oxygen and a better chance of being found?

There's a chance the end caps and some of the shite on the back might still be recoverable. I'm sure the carbon fiber shell or the sight glass is what let go.
There's about 0% chance that there's an in tact "submarine" down there to find.

Yeah no doubt. But even if there is, there’s a close to 0% chance that it could even be recovered before the supposed oxygen supply runs outs.

Nah, that thing collapsed. Maryland picked it up. Gas man posted a link to it. Unless someone was out there blowing things up at coincidentally the same time, it definitely popped. They MIGHT find the endcaps is my prediction of how this shakes out.
Is there anything out there publicly that can recover something that size at that depth?

There’s light touching that saw fish. Light stops around 1000m below the surface. This submersible went to depths of over 3,500m where It’s pitch black, freezing, and the pressure is unimaginably immense

This is assuming that the vessel didnt implode.
what's the best case scenario, survival and charged with the murder of 4 people?

Fox Biz just reported that the USCG is downplaying these reports of banging noises. Wow...I was hoping these people might be found. This sounds like a purely recovery op at this point, not rescue.

Probably not a good establisbed acoustic profile of banging a PS2 controller on a titanium dome for comparison. Tough to know what they heard
