How 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 ago
I 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.

12,500 ft underwater? Pass.

Yeah 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. :(

What a nightmare scenario. What about plumbing and water for 96 hours? How scary. Poor passengers!

They 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…

There is only one billionaire aboard, seem like a waste of space.

There are
26402639 billionaires in the world. It may not be much when you think about it, but it’s a great start!

Would 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.

Also the link someone else posted says it has life support for 96 hours

And 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.

They 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.

Rescue 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.

Maybe they should look under water instead of under way…
