Not for the claustrophobic -
 The inner diameter is considerably smaller. Barely large enough to accommodate adults sitting. |

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?

Notice the one thing missing from the headlines is that no one said they heard s.o.s or any other repeatable sounds. Just noises which could be any thing. Could be their lungs or ear drums exploding. Or the hull creaking as it gets crushed. If I was stuck in a sub I would be doing s.o.s along with prime numbers and any other repeatable sequences I could think of.

So who does this without an operational plan if something goes wrong. This company seemed to have no plan if something went wrong.
I hope the families sue them out of existence. So if you killed the two company employees how long could three survive? |

A year or two from now this thing will wash up on a beach somewhere. They'll determine the sub surfaced as designed but they couldn't get the hatch open and they ran out of air.
I bet the billionaire would give up all worldly possessions and money to get to dry land. |

I'm sure those billionaires (if they're still alive) would no doubt trade every penny to their name to be on land again. They'd rather be homeless in Seattle right now.

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. |

44 psi per 100 ft.
5775 psi at 13,000 ft, give or take. Not super high, I've seen higher, usually contained in stainless tubing or hoses designed for the pressure and seawater isn't usually the fluid in question. Saw around 550 psi once on a gauge reading static sea pressure. Lots of creaks and groans happened all around me. Somewhat uncomfortable, especially knowing some of the coners that usually operated the sub. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's short for "Titanic Junior". Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: They named the sub "Titan"?? That's short for "Titanic Junior". There was a book in the Titanic's library, named Futility: The Wreck of the Titan about an "unsinkable" ocean liner that sank after striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic. I'm not superstitious, but I also don't know if I'd have named the submersible "Titan". Seems a lot like tempting fate. |

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.. |

The chances of being rescued is remote. There are very few submersibles that can go that deep, some that like 2.5 miles.
