Missing submarine

[:eek:]

Submersible touring Titanic wreckage went missing in the Atlantic. A search is underway | CNN

Consider how deep they are and no backups on board I imagine they are dead

Yes best case scenario they died a quick death. Worst case is they are alive and running out of oxygen.

Stupid all around. This “sub” was nowhere near safe to go in.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I’m just now reading about it and just in awe. How the hell does something like that just go missing with all the technology we have now?

Hope everyone is found safe.

The ocean is a very vast and unforgiving space

The more I read about this the more I question who in their right mind would not only get in something like that but spend $250k to do it.

The ultra rich think they are invulnerable.

People just love to tempt fate man.

This is my thinking too. They probably lost pressure and imploded, something like that.

Allegedly a lot of submersibles -- including James Camerons' -- are jerry rigged like that. No thanks.

The maker of the lost Titan submersible previously complained about strict passenger-vessel regulations, saying the industry was 'obscenely safe'

They can say that, but I've seen submersible passengers on the news lately complaining the industry in general is lax on safety and construction. Maybe this will accident will change that.

Banging sounds have been heard so they might still be alive, but they can't have much air left

Must be horrible to be lost under the ocean in something like that. Unfortunately seems like little chance of survivors.

Oh at least some hope. Maybe they can be rescued somehow.

The idea of it gives me shudders. I'd rather it be a quick drowning than a slow suffocation. I hope they get found, but I'm not optimistic.

 

[Drizzle]

They would have run out of oxygen today regardless but a debris field indicates that the submersible imploded from pressure which would mean they were all killed instantly. Still horrible but it's a better alternative than slowly suffocating to death, especially if it happened so fast they didn't realize what was going on.

 

[squeekness]

Oh, yeah. If their death was inevitable then this was the better way to go, IMO. Just tragic it happened at all.

 

[Iceman]

Quick death definitely better in the circumstances, but very sad still.

The fact that there are folks genuinely happy and celebrating the deaths of these people online is extremely concerning, to say the least. Human loss of life is tragic regardless of one's wealthy status.

Anybody celebrating this is a vile human being. That's just rotten.

Submersible implosion confirmed.

I mean, the coverage of this eclipses the tragedy that just happened in the Mediterranian. A tragedy, in lives lost, magnitudes greater than what happened here.

My sympathies for those lost in a inevitable accident of hubris is limited.

 

[Arachnerd]

There's a difference between not caring, and being genuinely gleeful that these people died which is repulsive. What's happened in the Mediterranian is tragic as well, nowhere did I deny or imply that.

Both are tragic events regardless.
