Quote HistoryQuoted: What are the sounds they are hearing? Does it replicate dashes and dots? They wouldn't want to admit that...too much outcry of not being able to rescue them as it proves they are alive. All that coin to take a dive, and no synthetic recovery rope? Stuff is light as fuk when in water, no need for steel cable. What an effin shit show man....prayers to the family and friends.. 2.3 miles of synthetic recovery rope, what could go wrong |

Personally for me, if wanted to dive deep-sea, I just go the route of Disneyland, and their new "Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage" ride that is about as far down as I want to go.

Quote HistoryQuoted: How much time would they need to surface safely, assuming they were found immediately? They are two miles down. News said the descent takes about 2.5 hours, so I'd assume at least that to return in a controlled fashion via manipulating the ballast/buoyancy tanks/floats. |

They descended on a platform that took them most of the way there, and then their sub had the power to descend beyond that to the Titanic wreckage. The submersible they're in does not possess the ability to return to the surface on it's own. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: News said the descent takes about 2.5 hours, so I'd assume at least that to return in a controlled fashion via manipulating the ballast/buoyancy tanks/floats. The decent is unpowered, they leave that in gravity's hands. I suspect you could ascend really quickly, but I suspect it would depend on the structure of a submarine as to how fast something could be brought up. They descended on a platform that took them most of the way there The platform only goes down to about 30', then releases the sub. |

the whole thing sounds sketchy as fuck but hearing on the news this AM that it is bolted shut from the outside with no way of opening it from the inside gave me a feeling of claustrophobia
metal tube the size of a closet 5 people inside small closet bolted shut form the outside/trapped inside one little tiny ass window 10 hour trip in tiny ass closet with 5 other people there is not a damn thing about this that sounds fun/cool/interesting  I really hope there is a miracle and they are found safe and sound but damn this was a stupid thing to do |

Mindblown, and I can only hope we are in error at how primative this operation was, but this literally looks like a couple of guys with a few bucks of borrowed money banged out a service and basically flew by the seat of their pants on the whole operation. I can't wait to see their new "Chernobyl Experience" reactor zone exploration adventure tours - complete with K-19: Widowmaker radiation protection suits. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I saw a video once, where they brought up a deep sea diving bell from such depths that was bolted shut from the outside. They pulled the first 1” bolt out, and it blew 100’ across the deck and high pressure water jetted that same 100’ as well, as a seal leaked and the inside was full of sea water the same pressure as the sea had been at 10,000’ or whatever. You would have died even if you had a scuba tank to breathe from. Fuck that. I wouldn’t do it for $10,000 , if it was a nasa level funded / safety nazi set up, zero zero zero chance I’d use this jerry rigged corner cutting company. Happened during one of the first unmanned bathysphere tests, per the wiki. Oops. (A bathysphere is a hollow steel sphere with a window that gets lowered over the side and is suspended by a cable. A bathyscaphe is that same---thicker---ball hung beneath a gasoline filled blimp, that drops slowly onto whatever you want to study. Dump the ballast, and it rises much faster than it sunk.) As noted in the other thread, hypoxia is indeed supposed to be a pleasant way to go. They however would suffer CO2 poisoning before running out of air, and it is not at all pleasant. As many US/German wartime submariners could tell you. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Seems like a rescue beacon would have been an important part of the emergency plan. Maybe I’m weird. Was there no emergency plan for if the sub gets stuck or lost? As an owner I would want a damn beacon running any time it was underwater. Have this totally separate from any other power, have a hand crank just incase. Though it looks cheesy and has some cheesy parts I bet it wasn't cheap. |

Basically bolted into a large trash can at the bottom of the ocean, like that wouldn't cause claustrophobia. The only things missing from making it a completely terrifying movie, are the spiders and venomous snakes.
A serious question; did they do any tests on the "expedition members" for claustrophobia, or anxiety? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: even if found while they are alive is there any way to refill o2 from outside at any depth even if it is bobbing on the surface to get time to open it? It shouldn't take very much time to unbolt it should it? If they were smart they put a fitting or two on there somewhere. But, what if they didn't? What if none of the subs occupants didn't know this either? Spooky if not. Something about that British billionaire as well. |
