Last I heard, $200,000.00 to take sub down to look at Titanic.

This is a dangerous form of entertainment. Doesn’t sound good. Prayers for them all.

I bet the passengers signed a very lengthy waiver.

So much for a ‘trip of a lifetime’.

If it didn’t come back up in the allotted time, they are most likely dead. IIRC, the Titanic is under 12,500 feet of water. That equals over 5,000 PSI on the hull.

Any chance, you think, that they are still alive wherever they are stranded, and rescuable? I wonder the dimensions of their craft, number aboard and air supply timeline? Probably cold too, if they lost power. Wonder if the craft had CO2 scrubbers or such to p[rolong survival time if they needed rescuing?

Just a question of time until a Space Tourist rocket makes the same one way trip.

Oh, no. How horrific. I remember hearing about the Russian submarine that couldn’t surface and how they died. This is terrible.

Maybe they are all marooned on a deserted island, and the professor that was onboard is trying to make a cb radio out of coconuts as we speak.

Hope they are all OK, though it doesnt look good right now. Had an uncle in the military who served on a nuclear sub. We always worried a bit for his safety when he was off on tours.

I am not seeing how there is much chance for a positive outcome. Being a submariner and having 7 patrols under my belt one thing I learned, there is 0 room for error.

It is unlikely they have even the smallest of reserves capable to sustain a dive much longer that the 10 hours planned.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wreck_of_the_Titan:_Or,_Futility

Futility is a novella written by Morgan Robertson and published first during 1898. It was revised as The Wreck of the Titan in 1912. It features a fictional British ocean liner named Titan that sinks in the North Atlantic Ocean after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking are famous for similarities to the passenger ship RMS Titanic and its sinking 14 years later. After the sinking of the Titanic the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly to the ship's gross tonnage...

...Although the novel was written before the RMS Titanic was even conceptualized, there are some uncanny similarities between the fictional and real-life versions.

It is not clear how many people are on board the missing vessel.

Not clear? Where's the manifest, huh?

HMS Titanic? Since when did the Royal Mail Ship get a commission?

Why is the US Coast Guard doing the search and rescue 370 miles off Canada. This is not a US problem is it? I don’t mean to be rude about it but was the tour an American company, American crew, and did they go from an American port?

Apparently five-person submersible.
