The Titanic

[Berts Neck]

Given finite time, I would say reasonably easily. Obviously time is of the essence and even if they can get a line on it, it may not pull free if well and truly snagged

I just have this image of a line flopping about in the water and maybe a small area it can attach to..is it magnetic ??..In truth I do feel very sad for the individuals and their families..an absolute hell on earth..there is a bit of me that thinks that certain individuals have perhaps achieved so much in their lives, make risky undertakings like these as a stimulation..it is like the freeclimbers,can barely watch it on TV..the bloke who came down from the edge of space and his line got tangled..ffuck me, have done most things in life but would never put my life or families life at risk.

if they have heard the tapping then they must have a smallish search area to cover, how far would the tapping travel at that depth?

Water is a fantastic medium for sound travel and no problem with hearing it at the surface

Felix Baumgartner? Had a problem with his visor heating but his suit itself was fine, his problem was the near terminal spin early in the jump, although he managed to correct it. He's also probably saved a lot of lives in space exploration, they learned a lot about going extra-vehicular at those altitudes from that jump.

Sound can really travel through water, there's no interference like there is in the air. It travels slower but can be heard thousands of miles away.

They would need to triangulate its position using different sonarbouys. This can be done pretty quickly.

Assuming they can locate it and it has a lifting eye, an ROV could attach a line to it pretty quickly. I worked with ROVs a long time ago and they were pretty good then. There is still hope.

It will have lifting eyes that they use to put it on the mothership

is there a toilet?

Yes
