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

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 impossibleThe 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 will find it if still intactHow 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 .
Under water currents.Sorry if I sound thick here but can somebody enlighten me ?
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.
Presumably, if they haven't already expired due to lack of water, noon tomorrow. Just getting them to the surface is what counts.How long before this turns from rescue to recovery . Friday morning ?

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.10,000 square miles of water. A larger area than the whole of Wales.
I don't see any chance of this ending well.
Plenty of potholes here if you change your mind.I haven't done it since I moved to Ireland.
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?
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.The first news statement on this said the organisers hadn't had contact for 7 hours.

Ireland..keep quiet..if Harland & Wolfe did a better job we would not be facing this crisis ;-)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
I think it's near impossible. They sometimes take nearly an hour to find the wreck of the titanic and its massive. This thing has been down there days so the current could have carried it.How complex is this search? I havent hear anything about how complex it is.
LOL and ouch!Ireland..keep quiet..if Harland & Wolfe did a better job we would not facing this crisis ;-)
