Is the Coast Guard going to find that submersable?

Question

There is about 40 hours left before they run out of oxygen. Do you think that the people aboard the submersible will be rescued?

I think if there is a billionaire on board then it might have been either faked and staged by himself, or he was murdered by someone else at the opportunity. That's a possibility, we may never know. And even if it's all an accident then who cares? They took the risk, knowing that it can be dangerous. Their own fault.

Yesterday someone else on here asked a question, What would YOU do if you were stuck with 60 hours of air left. To which I replied with the following.

So, let's imagine that I'm stuck in there. What would I do, you ask? Well, let me tell you, my scepter is already twitching with excitement!

Firstly, I would strip off all my clothes and let my cock free to roam around the submarine. I would rub it against the glass windows, teasing the fish swimming by outside. I would thrust it into the air tanks, feeling the pressure and the rush of pleasure.

But that's not all, my dear soul! I would use my cock to explore the submarine and find a way to escape. I would thrust it into the control panel, hoping to activate some emergency mechanism. I would slide it through the tiny holes and crevices, searching for any clues or solutions.

And if all else fails, I would pleasure myself into oblivion, enjoying every last second of my life as I gasp for air. I would stroke it, squeeze it, and ride it until my body explodes with pleasure, leaving behind a legacy that would haunt the ocean floor for centuries to come.

But wait, what's that I see in the distance? It's a school of giant squid-like monsters, their tentacles writhing in the water.

Without hesitation, I leave the submarine with a spare oxygen tank and I swim towards them, my cock leading the way. They wrap their tentacles around me, their suction cups creating a pleasure that I've never experienced before. I'm tossed and turned in the water, my body writhing with ecstasy.

But that's not all! As I explore the wreckage, I come across a group of horny mermaids, their breasts heaving in the water. They beckon me towards them, their tails swishing seductively.

I swim towards them. Again, with my cock leading the way. We engage in an unholy orgy, their fish-like bodies entwined with my human form. The pleasure is indescribable, as we writhe and moan in the dark waters.

Couldn't think of a better way to spend my last day.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear the billionaire tourists are being held for ransom someplace. How can they lose a sub? Imagine if it was a Russian sub? Things don't add up.

If the oxygen it left with did not escape, it should last till Thursday morning. So it is possible that the occupants are still alive. Additionally, there have been many noises that sound like banging coming from the area the submersible was in. Lots of things likely created by the occupants.

However, there are many possibilities as to what happened that could prevent them being found by the time the air would be gone. It had safety features to make it rise in case of problems. Since it has not been found on the surface, it is possible those features failed and it is on the bottom. It is also possible it has reached neutral buoyancy and is remaining at a level between the surface and the bottom, making it harder to search for.

The company that made it has sued an executive for breaching a non-disclosure agreement by writing an engineering report that stated the vehicle needed more testing and that passengers might be endangered when it reached extreme depths. So there were apparent problems that the company knew about.

So it is likely that the occupants are still alive, but chances of finding it before the oxygen runs out are very small. The possibility that the operation shifts from being a rescue operation to a recovery operation is high and getting higher.

At the risk of being the dour pessimist, they are not apt to find the submersible. Even with detection devices like radar, sonar and the like, the area is simply too large, and the object is too small to put the odds in favor of the submersible being found and the people saved.

Consider this: Titanic sank in 1912. How long after that before its' location was discovered?

Titanic was a huge ship. The submersible is tiny by comparison. Just by that metric alone, the odds are not in favor of the submersible.

To be sure, I wish it were otherwise and I will not complain if I am proved wrong. Still, in any reasonable analysis and extrapolation of the data, the odds of the submersible being discovered are small. The odds that it will be discovered before those aboard suffocate less still.

About the most that can be said is that this should be a lesson to those who take for granted the bravery of those men and women who are on the cutting edge of science and exploration. It is not as easy as popular mythology would have it. Progress is NOT, after all, ineviable.

I don’t think they’re going to be found alive, sadly. :( What a horrifying and painful way to go.

mobiusforniner · Answer

No. From an engineering perspective, there's a whole lot of red flags in the vessels hull construction which cannot be ignored. Carbon fiber has never been used in submarine hull construction. It has zero ductility and yet is mated with a titanium end cap. Titanium is ductile and will bend and compress with the pressure changes while its carbon fiber mating tube will not. It has a 12 inch view window- literally a flat surface exposed to nearly 6000psi water pressure at that depth. The window alone is subject to over 700,000 lb of force. No independent deballast air. No salvage plan. No isolable connections if there's a leak. Sure, it has wifi control via off the shelf. But modern conveniences can't supplment basic design and testing.

In 1912, the worlds wealthiest people embarked on a vessel made with cutting edge technology of its day, sacrificing critical yet basic features in the name of innovation.

In 2023, the worlds wealthiest people embarked on a vessel made with cutting edge technology of its day, sacridicj g critical yet basic features in the name of innovation, ironically in search of the former.

Technology may advance, but human nature stays the same.

A bunch of privileged billionaires. Do you think that they would bankroll rescue efforts if someone else was in a similar situation? Tell me why we should care? You can be killed crossing the street. Their number just came up a different way.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

A journey into the deepest, darkest depths of abyss the Titan submersible went in search for wreckage of the R. M. S Titanic & more. The unthinkable happened to the unsinkable & now the unthinkable is happening as we speak. An old fashioned space race as some call it but in this case a race against times before time runs out.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Only by your post I became aware of this incident.

Here, on the other side of the world we rather look forward to see dozens of traffic deaths again today.

Amazing - how the media can blow up an actually minor hick-up and try to make it looking like a world wide disaster.

Pity the guys, of course. But it was THEIR choice.

As for me: I choose to ride to work also today again.

When recently the Indonesian submarine was lost, there -predictably- was little chance to find it in time.

I expect the same for the tourists in question now.

In the end they don't get to see what they were looking for - but in return they now will know how the Titanic guys felt once.

Considering the owner of the company has Jerry rigged this submersible allowing it to be steered and mainly controlled only by a $15 / $30 Logitech Gaming controller and no other back up methods, lack of Comms/Communication methods, as well as it only being able to be opened from the exterior (they’re locked in) even if they made it back to the surface, if they’re oxygen runs out they will not be able to get out, huge design flaw which isn’t surprising since the owner of oceangate is facing many law suits months before this happened… they’re survival chances are 1%, I think the majority of us are hoping for the best.. the coast guard has picked up noises on their underwater microphones, although they’re not saying what it could be or if it’s the submersible.
And for those that are blaming the people that are onboard or because their wealthy just stop… no one needs you’re negativity.

SnowedIn · Answer

The submersible will be found. The people will be dead. Doubtful that we'll recover the craft and the bodies.

DubiousIntentions · Answer

I wonder if sabotage was in order so the other person who founded the company can get it?

provokeesmokee · Answer

Five rich assholes sitting in a tube, 12,500' under water cause they're all wasteful rich retards.

Y'all, they got in a fucking tube designed by a company called OceanGate. For some novelty tourist trap.

It's a net benefit to society if they die. I'm just sad the 15yo kid got sucked into his father's bourgeois bucket list death wish. He probably didn't know what the dangers were and just trusted his asshole dad.

lightbulb27 · Answer

they will find it. Can hope they survive and if so, are very lucky. Given the rate home appliances fail, I'd think twice about going in such contraptions... to boot, they are bolted in from the outside. Add to it unknown risks... quite risky.

... and to think they went only partially as deep as James Cameron did in the Marian's Trench 10 years ago.

Kaamraj · Answer

Sadly I believe it won't be found as MH 370 was not found with hundreds of people and a huge airliner and this is a small submersible. As more and more time goes by, the ocean currents carry it further from where it should be. Unless and until the sub has a transponder, chances are low.

gorydetails · Answer

Not unless the submersible had some sort of auto pilot to use in an emergency. The titanic claimed another victim.

JustinTheGreat · Answer

They found debris from the sub which confirms it imploded. Which is best case scenario cause that means they died instantly with no pain.
even if they were still alive, they wouldn’t be able to pull them out anyways. So they would have slowly suffocated to death.

Apple1996 · Answer

They most likely are already dead so probably not worth finding

RingOfFire · Answer

I would say there is less than 1% chance they will be recovered alive. Even if they find it, they will not be able to raise it in time to save them. Even if they had a way to get them oxygen, they have no way to give them water which they need to survive. Finally, if they are panicking, and you can assume they are, the oxygen will be used much faster and is likely already gone.

I think these people are probably toast.

RealMarek · Answer

Regrettably, they are probably not going to be rescued. If something goes wrong at 11,000’ subsea, it’s difficult to get out of trouble.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Sometimes stupid can't be saved, this case looks like it isn't going to end well.

The people that took part in this expedition didn't think things through well enough in case of a serious emergency and being deep in the very vast sea is a extremely difficult position to be rescued from.

Nature has to be treated with respect otherwise your fate will be sealed.

Anonymous · Answer

I felt so bad about this, and none of it made any sense, until tonight. I was visiting my brother, and I told him that I feel so sorry for the pilot and the passengers. Then he explained that the pilot had nothing to worry about. Now it all makes sense.

Sparkie460 · Answer

It's possible they will be found. If they will be alive is another question. The government cannot even find all these missing children

Dargil · Answer

Unfortunately, that may happen too late. Seems to me that the submersible should have GPS tracking devices like even in government vehicles have so searchers can pinpoint where it is. I don't know why they didn't.

Lliam · Answer

I read that a rescue team has been ready to go but can't get authorization from authorities to proceed.  I think the sub can be recovered, but time is almost up for the passengers and crew.

I will be the optionist here and say miricles don't happen everyday, but this may very well be a miracle! 🐬🐟🐠🐡⛵

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Nope. They are putting on a good show but they can't help those people. Odds are they are already dead. The sub either imploded (Titanic sits in 12,000 feet of water), or they got hung up on the wreckage and will run out of air.

Redstang88 · Answer

Finding it and being able to recover it are 2 very different things. They’ll locate it eventually, no way they’ll get to it in time to help them

against all hope, fingers crossed they do but its not looking good

not sure. While it is possible, it may not be able to recover it quickly.

Nope. They won't be found in time. Hallmark channel execs have their fingers crossed that they get found alive. Made for Tv gold.

Probably not. All the people on board will be brown bread soon, anyways. Simples...

The Coast Guard guards the coast, not the middle of the ocean, and they don't go miles down.
