I’d prefer a trip to space, maybe the Moon or Mars.
Everest, at least there’s a great view before you die.
I heard a reporter say on the radio that there is an old naval signal pattern or something like that to repeat the bangs on the hour and then again on the half hour. This is why he explained it’s thirty minutes apart. But I don’t know who said that. I looked for it on the net and this is all I found:
I was under the impression this was Titan’s first journey to explore the Titanic. This article seems to suggest it has done this trip several times before? Or is it a case of a grandstanding friend trying to hype up his past explorations on this vessel?
I believe those scrubbers only function as long as there is power to them and the circulating fans.. no power no scrubbing from there on. I suppose the claimed 96 hours of oxygen depends upon the scrubbers fully functioning the entire time.
At any rate, I see where you got it.
Oh and while looking I did see this comment on a Reddit site, six or so down:

Not SOS to my knowledge, but also nothing confirmed - origin or pattern. If I’m not mistaken you’re supposed to bang one time every 30 minutes so that I can be picked up on sonar. It wouldn’t make sense to signal SOS since it’d be a waste of valuable oxygen and by the time the sonar reads it, it wouldn’t be picked up as ‘SOS’ — but I’m happy to be proven wrong :) I think if it was even a semblance of SOS they would’ve said something though like “repeated pattern” or “bursts of noise”.”

The wife of the captain, Stockton Rush, is a great great granddaughter of two wealthy Titanic victims, the Strausses.
And I saw this while looking but don’t know where, did not copy the source and can’t find it now.
“Some guy on CNN saying that banging for 3 minutes 30 minutes apart is a well-known distress signal in the military and that’s proof they’re still alive and that’s a good thing. To me that just makes it worse if these people are still alive 4 days into this nightmare”.
“Mister Titanic”, indeed.
I don’t think the idea was for it to smell of human waste. This was in the article about how on a past trip, they
“had to change both their diets and routines, adding part of the change to the “low residue” diet was because there are “no facilities” in the machine.”
I presume that means no doing No. 2 down there.
How cold is that ocean water way down deep like that?
41 degrees.
Yeah, for a normal 12 hour trip. People can only last so long even if they ain’t eatin. I’m sure they are not in a good place.
“Everest.
At least I could see until the very end.
The people in the sub are in the darkest dark possible.................”
At least, if you died at the top of Mt. Everest, you would die closer to God and in the light, with a magnificent view of all God created. Being in that sub would be like a preview of Hell. No thanks.
Yes, it seems to me they are/were dead from that moment. The ‘banging’ could have been a workman fixing something on a ship a hundred miles away. The loss of power seems to me to be the indicator of hull breach and immediate catastrophic implosion..........................
Correct. If they lost total power, which seems likely, then they had no control for the electric motors or steering, and therefore would be drifting with the currents. That sub could be anywhere by now........................

... and each journey of the vessel.....more stress cracks form in the carbon fiber...........
