The Titanic

If nothing catastrophic happened on the way down when all coms were lost with this submersible . I wonder why the drop weights on this vehicle weren`t jettisoned in order for it to get back up to the surface ? Surely these work off a dedicated power source ? Also you`d think some sort of timescale was built in to jettison them if not activated manually .
 
I hope they're found, even if it's too late, I could easily imagine one of them going nuts and killing the others to conserve oxygen.. it would be interesting in a macabre way if there was a video camera on the inside (I wouldn't want to watch it of course, but I would like to read about what might have happened in that tube)

I'm NEVER coming to your house Joe ;)

My guess is water started to get in and before you knew it the thing caved in. Hope that’s not the case but as there’s been no contact it gives the impression it’s on the bottom.

I think that may well have been their fate . But surely some wreckage would have reached the surface by now .
 
It may have been asked earlier, but they're saying it would be difficult to see if it was on the surface. So why isn't it painted bright orange and yellow instead of an Atlantic Grey colour?
And have a capsule type of thingy that bursts and gives off bright coloured dye into the water?
And an inflating thingy that operates on a dead man's handle - don't press it and it inflates sending out a beepy noise with flashing lights.
I do technology, me.

Or just a GPS tracker maybe.
 
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
This is the thing, under water, mountains, jungles, space, arctic, etc etc all want to kill you, so why do it, I've never got it
If its a wealth thing, surely you can get your kicks elswhere
 
Strange a senior official from the whitehouse has said the president is being kept up to date on events,it then mentions that the US navy have deep water capabilities that the coast guard most likely don’t and is on stand by,if that’s the case then surely they should be using these deep water capabilities ASAP ..
