The Titanic

[Elbow beards]

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

Quite the opposite, hypoxia is supposed to be one of the most humane ways to go as it can cause euphoria before you pass out.

I wouldn't want to test that.

Is it possible that the banging noises are a survivor still on the Titanic?

It’s the drummer from the band, nobody told him to stop.

I think I'd still choose the "instant death by being crushed into a blob the size of a raisin" route.

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.

Nope, saw a programme where they put someone in a pressure chamber and slowly dropped the oxygen levels. He said he was so chilled he didn't want to put his mask back on. There was someone with him to help him with it.

Well there is that.

I feel for the poor mother of the lad stuck down there, what she must be going through

Any reason why it’s every half an hour, maritime code if in distress ? I’d be at it every minute or so although there’s no chance you’d ever catch me in one of those.

No need to do it all the while, saves energy, the fact that it's in any rhythmic cycle means that the searchers know its man made I'm guessing.

Spot on

I remember reading that the US recovered a crashed F35 plane from greater depths in the South China Sea last year, to stop the Chinese getting their hands on its technology. This was done with an ROV attaching a surface winch line. So they have the capability to recover this vessel if they can find it. Its just about doing it in an incredibly short time frame.

I hope they can get to it but feel it will be a one shot chance to attach a cable to it and get it to the surface asap

That's weird ??

 

[Lavinda Past]

I suppose they might as well shag each other

If there's 40 hours of oxygen left for five people, there's 200 hours worth for one.

If the skipper has any brains, the rescue team will have a few more days to find four bodies alongside him.

Sent you a test message.

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

Sounds like a bit of a maverick setup from these guys. PlayStation controller to control the vessel, lights from Camping World, etc. No backup or rescue options been set up in case of emergencies, no proper testing and adherence to standards. How did they get away with charging people for that.

And the maddest part is the CEO has gone down with them
