Which is worse - being stuck in the bottom, in the cold and the dark as you fade into unconsciousness or bobbing on the surface of an empty sea, bolted into a cylinder filled with the sloshing vomit and excrement of your fellow crew, peering out the porthole, freedom just out of reach on the other side of the glass?If the sub imploded that would be mercy. Waiting to die in a situation like that is living hell.
As this sub was built from scratch, you have no real safety certification, the builder must have known that there might be some kind of malfunction eventually. At those depths , there is no room for mistakes. A problem just waiting to materialize. I would not have gotten on a sub like that,built from scratch.?!Titanic tourist submarine goes missing in the Atlantic Ocean
Crew confirmed to be aboard $250,000-a-trip Titanic sub lost in Atlantic
Search and rescue mission is underway for a missing Titantic tourist subwww.independent.co.uk
Can a submarine get lost?
Well, for years it seemed to work.As this sub was built from scratch, you have no real safety certification, the builder must have known that there might be some kind of malfunction eventually. At those depths , there is no room for mistakes. A problem just waiting to materialize. I would not have gotten on a sub like that,built from scratch.?!
Are there any new news about the case of the lost sub?

....A CANADIAN AIRCRAFT searching for the missing Titan submersible, which failed to return Sunday from an expedition to the wreckage of the Titanic, detected “banging” in 30-minute intervals coming from the area the divers disappeared, according to internal e-mail updates sent to Department of Homeland Security leadership and obtained by Rolling Stone.
“RCC Halifax launched a P8, Poseidon, which has underwater detection capabilities from the air,” the DHS e-mails read. “The P8 deployed sonobuoys, which reported a contact in a position close to the distress position. The P8 heard banging sounds in the area every 30 minutes. Four hours later additional sonar was deployed and banging was still heard.” The announcement did not state what time the banging was heard, or what was thought to have caused it.
The Boston Coast Guard declined to comment on the reported “banging” sounds, as did the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The U.S. Fleet Forces Command, the DHS, and the U.S. Coast Guard did not respond to requests for comment.
An e-mail sent Tuesday afternoon from the president of the travel and research group, the Explorers Society, stated, “It is being reported that at 2 a.m. local time on site that sonar detected potential ‘tapping sounds’ at the location, implying crew may be alive and signaling.” The Boston Coast Guard, which is leading the rescue efforts, did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the reported tapping sounds.
Hopefully they will be okay.13,000 feet of strong steel cable, a really strong winch, hope the thing has an anchor point, and surround it would buoyant materials.
The question is can they get that setup before the air runs out.
My question is....
Who are/were the passengers?
That might be a clue....
If they were bored Russian oligarchs looking for fun....they are going to be just like the SS Minnow.
There’s going to be some hefty lawsuits over this.
Yes they did. In fact the word "Death" was mentioned three times in the agreement. That should have been a warning sign right there.I can almost guarantee that they signed "hold harmless" agreements. There is no lawsuit pending.
Yeah, I thought that 'bubble' on the sub looked a bit sketchy, from what I have seen, those deep submersibles have a small, porthole with very thick glass.
