Gabe Newell may now be the Titan's only hope.

    Something this small could simply be floated to the surface. With big things there no way that can be done. Still difficult af but possible, don’t know if things like that already exist.

      Only the most optimistic guesses about their air suggest there is any left in it at this point. We’re pretty much at the recovery phase.

        96 hours from departure, which I’m not sure was exactly. And they’ve heard banging.

          That was the spec sheet provided by the company, but without any backing info, testing, or engineering expertise. The more digging people have done on this submarine, the more of an absolute shit show it is.

          96 hours for 5, an unethical, penny pinching, corner cutting CEO could find a way to stretch that air for almost 500 hours.

      Wouldn’t that be risking nitrogen narcosis? I mean, certain death or chance at death. It’s all about the oxygen rn.

        I dont think so because the crew compartment is/was pressurized. The real problem is that without power they likely froze to death a long time ago

          That’s a good point, and I know shit about subs. I had heard there was banging, but idk how long ago that was.

        If the sub is still at 1atm internal there is no issue…if the sub is at 380atm down at the Titanic then…again nitrogen narcosis is not the issue as that 4000 tonnes per square meter of force makes it irrelevant.

        Hmm I don’t know if works like that when you’re on a submersible. You’re in a 1 atmosphere pressure.
