The Titanic

10,000 square miles of water. A larger area than the whole of Wales.

I don't see any chance of this ending well.
Well, its bad enough having to think of them being stuck in that sub, but at least if they had to be lost somewhere in an area of 10,000 miles it wasn't in Wales.
 
The first news statement on this said the organisers hadn't had contact for 7 hours. Is that true? Did they wait THAT long before they asked for assistance?
 
Got to be freezing down there too, almost hope they got squished from the pressure, probably better than the alternative

The sub has a lot of ways of surfacing, even if things go tits up. It's likely they wanted to be sure before creating a search party like this.

By the sounds of the previous expeditions, they’d lost contact for hours at a time before so it might not have rung alarm bells until the seventh hour.
 
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
Ireland..keep quiet..if Harland & Wolfe did a better job we would not be facing this crisis ;-)
