The Titanic

The thing I don’t get is if the submersible was going to the titantic wreckage then surely that’s the area where it will be ? They know where the wreckage is so why the fuck are they searching an area twice the size of the USA ? Sorry if I sound thick here but can somebody enlighten me ?

Because they seemingly lost power very early on in the descent so it could have drifted anywhere

If it got stuck at the Titanic,or hit something and crushed by the pressure then yes. If it failed on the descent, or the ascent back, then it could be anywhere. No way of knowing but going off when they lost contact with it it looks like it hadnt got there yet

This is nearly 4km under the sea. I'd imagine trying to find a small vessel, either trapped or subject to the influence of currents/ocean, would be almost impossible
Plus the Titanic site itself is massive.
 
How long before this turns from rescue to recovery . Friday morning ? Are there any salvage companies out there with specialist gear needed who may attempt to find the submersible and recover it . Guessing with very wealthy families involved in this tragedy it maybe recover their bodies at any cost . Or at least try .

They will find it if still intact
 
Can I just say, as someone who has tried potholing you're fucking mental. :-)

Dont think it helped that the first time I went down one it was a Grade 4 and it put me off for life.

I haven't done it since I moved to Ireland. All the local ones worth a trip are very prone to flooding if it rains due to a karst landscape....it can be great here one minute and pissing down the next. Never fancied mixing much water with caving......divers are a different thing altogether

Presumably, if they haven't already expired due to lack of water, noon tomorrow. Just getting them to the surface is what counts.
