Thoughts on this entire thing? 13,000 - 14,000 ft deep in that thing, no communication apparently unable to operate it. Only hope is to hit the side of the thing to hope somehow it can be heard, then located, then one of the few vehicles capable of getting the deep getting there in time to somehow hook you up to a line and pull you to surface before running out of oxygen. My goodness
Imagine paying 250 gs to queeze into that death trap willingly. I can think of a lot of other things that kinda scratch could get me
What a nightmare! I've seen too many old ww2 movies, I would NEVER get in a submarine! Is there a bathroom on board? Imagine just sitting in that thing on the ocean floor banging the walls of it waiting to die.......
The "captain's chair" is also a camping toilet but being that they are only supposed to be down there for hours and not days, guessing that either the stress of the situation either acts like an imodium or that bucket is FULL
The crazy thing is that it might not even be on the bottom of the ocean. They could be trapped in a fishing net or floating on the surface in one of the most remote areas possible. The fact that there are no ways to monitor where this thing is... How?
Hell NO I ain't ever going in a submarine. I would be like level 9.9 claustrophobia maximus. I would either fight everyone or make love to everyone on board, or some hallucinogenic combo of both.
Ive been thru the U505 at least 4 times thru the years at the Chicago Field Museum, not much room thats for sure ..... https://www.msichicago.org/explore/whats-here/exhibits/u-505-submarine/
I couldn’t imagine being trapped in there at all or going in the first place. Hopefully by some miracle they get found.
the captain (the owner of the sub/company) should take his belt off and use it to lessen to the total oxygen consumption inside the vessel to give others another couple hours. Second thought, the chances of rescue are near nil, would a couple extra hours just be torture to the remaining?
When they deploy the sub, does a ship remain close by with emergency equipment and or at least tracking capabilities?
the sub has no beacon on it, it goes too deep to run a tether, so the answer is - the ship stays close by but has no tracker capabilities if the sub looses power. (at least to my understanding) Just guessing here, but I would think they would drop the sub some distance off and let it fall and get pushed by current towards the titanic. If you just dropped it "straight down" it might end up miles off the target. I think they are out of oxygen based on estimates now. Time to try to fall asleep and make sure you're right with the Lord.
its now being reported that the ROV's have found a debris field within the search area Could the banging have been the sub imploding under pressure? They have NOT said the debris is the missing sub.
Reports that parts of the debris belong to the missing rov. I guess we will all learn it's fate at 3. Just horrible all around, but I'd take instantly crushed over slow suffocation.
