The Titanic

So this sub has no beacon or anything If in trouble to pinpoint where it is?

We'll see.
Anyone going on a dangerous adventure for kicks should not be surprised when or if things go wrong. Like those clowns climbing Everest or jumping out of planes for a buzz

You have no sympathy for persons who will face a slow, horrible and inevitable death, really, is that what you are saying?

It has an auto comms beacon that sends a ping every 15 mins to let the authority know all are safe and things are working as should be. It is this signal loss that triggerred all this off

Sends pings every 15 minutes. They stopped after an hour and half.

To stop like that means it’s gone forever

Pretty much yes. They decided to go to the bottom of the sea in a fancy bathtub, nobody made them.

There's also Ulster museum, Botanic gardens, city hall or Crumlin road jail

Crumin Road gaol is unfortunately closed since Covid as all the Guides left and we couldn't get into City Hall (but it does look impressive).

Saw the peace wall and the murals and the secterianism of the British / Irish flags fluttering above what looked like fairly depressing areas, but I wouldn't have got off the bus to explore. Queens College was nice though, but nothing to hold you there for more than 15-20 mins.

I don't class Giants Causeway as a Belfast attraction, like saying go to Manchester and visit the docks at Liverpool :)

We had a 2 day bus tour. never went back for the 2nd day.

Benefit is that I re-discovered Smithwicks Red Ale,truly a thing of beauty and the food was magnificent

Looks like it. Crazy there is no secondary system. I think the outfit running this have some serious questions to answer.

They could benon the surface and they would eventually wash up somewhere. Or they are on the bottom and would likely stay there.

As of this morning when I read the info on Sky, they were hopeful it has surfaced and that the air search team would locate them.

They have air supply until tomorrow evening with the emergency 92 hours supply.
