My guess is they are fish food, they keep on talking about “Pinging” every 30 minutes..reminds me of MH370 they heard “Pinging” too which amounted to nothing the sub probably is stuck in the wreckage of the Titanic

I thought all vessels had to be certified by the coastguard or government they are registered with.

I was rooting for a happy ending, until I saw the clip of the president saying he didn’t want to ‘hire a bunch of 50 year old white guys with military submarine experience’ - now I hope the sub, and the company disappears forever.

Go woke, go croak.

Well, those aboard volunteered, so there’s that. I wonder who is paying for the millions to send in the recovery vessels.

If the sub didn’t implode and it’s stuck down there, it’s gotta be hellish for the passengers.

Little light, not much water or food and slowly declining levels of oxygen, tight quarters with little room to move, etc.

How awful!

Didn’t Even Have a Basic Safety Beacon...

The most SOLID thing about this whole story is that it was enclosed with 17 (Seventeen) Bolts.

The people lost in the missing Titan submersible are dead-bolted in with at least 17 bolts and have no way out unless they're found

to further highlight some of the disconcerting facets of the submersible and OceanGate’s overall operation, including the fact that the craft—at least the one he went on—doesn’t have any kind of emergency location transmitter (ELT).

What kind of ELT would be able to transmit through 13,000 feet of ocean?

the US Navy has huge land-based antennae and very low frequency systems to communicate with submarines - which at operate at hundreds of feet. Nothing even close to these depths.

My question is after 3-4 days, what about the poop and pee in the sub? What does that thing smell like right about now?

I posted a link to this video earlier. The fifty year old submariner at The Sub Brief goes over what he sees as several single points of failure in the photos and available literature. He also shows the CEO making the statement about not wanting any old white guys working for him. Overall, the CEO comes across as the kind of idiot who gets people who believe in him killed.

"It seems like this submersible has some elements of MacGyver-y, jerry-riggedness," David Pogue, a CBS reporter, said on the segment.

Two new adjectives to add to my vocabulary. LOL.

Never ceases to amaze me how stupendously dumb wealthy people are.

The ‘’couldn’t change a light bulb’’ type.

[I]f the sub simply isn’t able to surface on its own. “These ROVs are not capable of bringing it back up if it’s a solid dead weight, and we don’t have a 13,000-foot cable to pull it back to the surface,” said Hendrick.

That's the buried lead, so to speak: Even if rescuers locate Titan in next 5 minutes, they have no means of hoisting Titan to the surface; the mini-sub has to use the equipment on the platform it went down on to bring itself to the surface, something those on board presumably have tried but, appears thus far, are unable to do. Facts foretell tragedy unfolding followed by big lawsuit.

The CEO, Founder, and man responsible, is on board, his last hours must be filled with some harsh criticisms from the customers.

“Stockton Rush, founder of the company that owns the missing submersible visiting the Titanic wreckage, has said safety is “pure waste”.
