Probably a Russian sub in the area having a disco party.

anyone taking bets if they recover the sub they'll find the other occupants ripped the CEO apart limb from limb?
eta imagine being trapped at teh bottom of the ocean with the smug a-hole who skirted every safety measure and installed a video game controller for the diversity 20yo captain?

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?
James Cameron would definitely be murdering people down there.

Is there anything out there publicly that can recover something that size at that depth?
Any oilfield boat with an ROV and a crane with enough cable to make it down that far. The Navy contracts these same types of private sector vessels thru Military Sealift Command so honestly I doubt the military has anything better for this type of recovery job

Does this craptastic company have to reimburse the various government and private agencies that are expending large amounts of resources to look for their underwater death trap?

They probably died the when it disappeared. The USCG, etc are waiting for the time to run out, so they can say they tried. The announcement will happen once the oxygen would have run out. The sub probably imploded the first day.

Yea I'm sitting here thinking about some of the boats I've been on and I seem to remember some of them having several miles (4 miles rings a bell for some reason?) of cable on the deck crane drums for pulling up BOPs or something like that. It's been a minute since I've been on something like that and it was never in an operational capacity.

Somebody's gonna owe somebody something.
I think general accepted maritime law is to render assistance to vessels in distress, but that Skandi boat definitely is not going to hang around digging in the mud for submarine parts for free for very long even with the positive media exposure it'll get.
I doubt this oceansub company or whatever has hardly any liquid cash on hand at all to cover any of this shite and probably shite for insurance as well. Since they are certainly dead by now, I doubt much more happens except for private ventures in the future looking for sub pieces.

They probably drank his blood in order to stay hydrated . Desperate people will do crazy things to survive. Hope they went quick

There’s a billionaire maybe 2? down there in sure the estate can cover the costs

That vessel on scene is easily a $100k per day boat to charter. Not to mention it’s already under long term charter to Husky Energy and they are gonna want it back asap. Also of note, the general rule of thumb when it comes to subsea work is that an ROV and knuckle boom crane don’t leave the deck unless they know who’s footing the bill. That’s tens of millions of dollars of equipment that needs constant maintenance and repairs
ETA: and that $100k doesn’t include fuel

Yea, I just looked. The last one I dealt with was 4,000m max working depth on the main crane and the ROV.
I guess the only way any of this stuff gets recovered is if one of the bazillionaires family's contracts one of these deepwater well service companies out to search and recover. I'm sure someone will find the funding from somewhere to get a final answer on their fate, even though we already have one.

Well the CEO is 61 and the pilot of the ship is 77 so maybe he was onto something...

If this submarine is gone and lost, do you think it’ll ever be found or even an effort to find it? There’s still huge aircraft carriers from WW2 that haven’t been found 75+ years later

Most of the history of exploration/invention is rich assholes doing stupid shite and often getting themselves killed in the process. Precision engineered government/corporate projects didn't start being a thing until the second half of the twentieth century. This guy is harkening back to a long tradition, although admittedly much more slapdick than his brethren Elon, RIchard Branson, et al.

Does this apply to distress calls/emergency ops?
Not doubting you, just curious as my understanding is that maritime practice is to recover first, ask questions later.
