Have Man Utd offered them free tickets yet, never normally miss an opportunity

The guy on TV this morning who has been down in this sub and saw fuck all chance you take said it has a built in system that after 8 hours it automatically comes up to the surface along with other systems that can raise it.
Personally I think it's in bits at the bottom.

I have visions of them pulling out the sub, popping open the door and a 137 year old bloke staggering out, “did I hit that iceberg?”

The Chilean miners! That was another of these type of things that caught the attention.

Time and place for gallows humour, this isn't one in my book.

That’s exactly what my beloved grandad (God bless his soul) said when he he suffered catastrophic, life-changing injuries on the very day Auschwitz was liberated (falling out of the machine-gun turret).

If they can locate them, then I think there is a chance. There are more ROVs that work effectively at that depth than submarines.

Why didn’t they make a submarine-sized ROV and go down in that? Job’s a good’un.

They've got to hurry. Oxygen runs out at midday tomorrow, apparently. Really grim business. I can think of no worse way of dying.

Joan of Arc might demur.

I think the downside is probably the 90 hours of being stuck in a small box with 4 people knowing you’re going to die.

Like Christmas Day at me nanna’s.

Probably not quite 200, there'd be lots of exertion and hyperventilation involved, especially in cramped quarters like that.

Especially if someone knocks a crafty one out.

I have visions of them pulling out the sub, popping open the door and a 137 year old bloke staggering out, “has Wesley Sneijder signed for United yet?”
