For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires’ son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).
They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They’ve been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they’ll make it?
No. Even if they find where it is, they have to figure out a way to a) get to it and b) bring it to the surface.
The only subs that can go down there are automated rovers, which are not designed for lifting objects. They don’t have the ability to bring the sub to the surface, and I guess the best hope would be that they could free the sub if it was entangled in something.
But considering they haven’t even found the sub yet, it would be at least 12 hours before they could devise a rescue plan if they even found it.
I can’t remember the name, but we have ships designed to rescue submarines from that depth with essentially a long ass crane. I don’t know of they still exist, but America did it to recover a soviet(?) Sub that fell to the bottom of the ocean.
Either way there’s no way they have enough oxygen to last much longer unfortunately…
