Tourist submarine on expedition to Titanic wreck goes missing

Something they said is the size of a minivan, over 12k feet deep, with no communications or any way to ping it? I doubt they ever find that thing. I hate those people will lose their lives but seems like a lot of mistakes were made with that contraption as far as safety goes.

Navy Rushing Deep Sea Salvage System To Aid In Titan Submersible Search

The Navy has other deep-sea rescue, and search and salvage capabilities, but the depths around the Titanic exceed some of their abilities.

It doesn't look very impressive......especially when it's going down 12,000+ feet.

Biggest mistake was getting in it!

I love the stat "the only 5-person sub in the world that can reach the Titanic wreck" cause I'm betting there's a 2 or 4 or 6 person sub that can. Useless statistics. Ridiculous.

The question is can it reach the surface?

So they repurposed an industrial hot water heater?

This will make a decent movie one day.

Read that you cannot open it from the inside, so even if it breaches the surface, if you do not have a 1 1/2" socket with a 4 foot handle on a surface craft you are gonna die. "Shudder"

Couldn't imagine the hell they're probably going through down there knowing they're down there with no hope for rescue and limited air

If ... they are still breathing air.
Prayers sent for all involved.
