That’s another thing about this that sounds absurd. What are the chances that a fist or hammer banging on carbon fiber at 12000 feet down would generate sound waves audible to a flying aircraft? It’s ridiculous.

Yes, it is.

Given that the Titan is a battery-operated submersible and has lost all contact with its surface vessel, it may have lost power.

Never send an EV to do a mama’s job. Those passengers are now gelatinous goo with bits of bone tumbling out of the crushed shell of the poorly constructed submersible now. Food for Bathypelegaic bottom feeders.

So, they can die from lack of oxygen if they’re on the surface? It would seem so, if they’re sealed in and havve no way to unbolt the door.

God always forgives. Man sometimes forgives. Mother Nature never forgives.

The planes drop sonar buoys, into the water, and the information, from the buoys, is sent back to the aircraft.

Most searches by air use sonar buoys. Planes airdrop them.

The airplanes drop sonar buoys which float. They pick up acoustic noise and forward to plane via radio. They started that in WWII.

Well if there's anything to "eat", they're going to be like pancakes.

The aircraft dropped sonar buoys into the water and those buoys would transmit any noise back to the plane.

Each end and the interior is metal.

The planes are monitoring radio waves from the sonar buoys they dropped.

“The bad news is if the passengers are stranded on top of the water, they remain out of luck until someone finds them...”

Wonder if rescue crews remember to bring the right size nut driver!
