shanghaibebop ( @shanghaibebop@beehaw.org ) English8•1 year agoHow does one even plan for contingencies? 96-hour life support, but can specialized rescue subs get there in time?
NotAnArdvark ( @NotAnArdvark@lemmy.ca ) English4•1 year agoI feel like a proper contingency in this scenario would be some sort of “instant death” system. Knowing you’re going to die, but waiting 96 hours for it to happen sounds terrible.

Suedeltica ( @Suedeltica@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoYeah this sounds like a bespoke Hell created just for me in case I am very, very evil in this lifetime. Inconceivable that people would pay actual money to experience this. :(

belated_frog_pants ( @belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org ) English4•1 year agoWhat a nightmare scenario. What about plumbing and water for 96 hours? How scary. Poor passengers!
johnyma22 ( @johnyma22@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year agoThey have a toilet behind a curtain. Imagine trying to hold poop for 3+ days… Imagine being the first one that poops and the odour… My eyes are stinging thinking about it…
boomaDooma ( @boomaDooma@lemmy.ml ) English4•1 year agoThere is only one billionaire aboard, seem like a waste of space.
caffinz ( @caffinz@lemmy.ml ) English4•1 year agoThere are

Chup ( @Chup@feddit.de ) English4•1 year agoWould be nice as journalist to be insistent on inquiring the duration of the dive so far.
They write it’s missing – but it is obvious where it is.
They write contact was lost, but it is unknown when. This seems to be the whole point of such a news. Was contact lost 4 hours ago or 4 days ago? Contact lost 4h ago would probably be all fine, as they mention the dive tour takes around 8 hours. 4 days ago would mean they are all dead, as oxygen lasts that long according to the article.
nihth ( @nihth@programming.dev ) English0•1 year agoAlso the link someone else posted says it has life support for 96 hours
Dulce Maria ( @DulceMaria@lemmy.one ) English2•1 year agoAnd it left on Sunday around 6am to start the 96 hr timer. Best case they lost power, dropped their load, and floated to the surface and are just bobbing around somewhere in the ocean.

Freeman ( @freeman@lemmy.pub ) English3•1 year agoThey may as well be on the moon.
Curious if they are connected via a tether of some type.
Either way, that’s not good and really sad.
korokspaceprogram ( @korokspaceprogram@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year agoRescue teams involved in the hunt for a missing submersible that had planned to visit the wrecked Titanic said “noises” had been detected early Wednesday close to where the sub ended contact with its control ship.
U.S. Coast Guard Rear Adm. John Mauger said the source of the noise was still unclear.
