News Titanic Tours Submersible missing in atlantic ocean

The underwater drone that can get to that depth isn't expected to be on site till tomorrow evening. About the same time as the Navy's salvage ship. On the 1% chance that they locate them and they're alive. There could only be mere hours to get them hoisted up. That 8 hours that Oceangate waited to notify the Coast Guard was crucial

Yea, plus don't they have to decompress from that depth? Pulling them up fast because they are running out of oxygen could kill them couldn't it?

Yea, as I said in post #253, the series of events doesn't make a lot of sense. Those type submersibles are designed to sink basically, they don't use any power while going down then when they get to the desired depth they power up to move around. If they had a power failure they could still manually release ballast to rise back to the top, but it appears they haven't. So simply attributing this to a power outage doesn't make sense. Catastrophic hull failure, however, would have killed them all instantly at a depth of 12,500 feet.

Yeah that would crush everything including the occupants in less time than it takes to say oh shit.

Sad when you think about it, especially considering there were concerns about the vessel.

Its probably the best out man, instant, or 4 days of mental and physical anguish.

Yup. Looks like they're just out of time. I hope they find it to give the families some closure and investigate what happened but any sliver of a rescue is most likely over unless they miraculously find them in the morning

They still have 30-40 hours worth of oxygen, maybe.

Just look at this POS. Exposed hoses and other things just sticking out

That looks as appealing to me as as underwater cave exploration.
 
well folks..... here's some (apparent) good news.

apparently during today, sonar detectors detected "banging sounds" from underwater, at intervals of approx 30mins.
so... IF that's true and the source is one of the men banging on the inside of the submersible.... then it has not imploded or sprung a leak and there's at least 1 still alive, and maybe all of them still alive.
I'd hope they can have multiple sonar-devices underwater and triangulate the sound to determine it's location. That would be the obvious tactic i'd think.

Regular banging sounds have been picked up by sonar devices deployed in the search for the submersible.

An internal government memo from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said banging sounds had been detected every 30 minutes on Tuesday

Four hours later, after additional sonar devices were deployed, banging was still heard, the memo said.

"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.
