I wonder if there's any chance they find them alive? I can't imagine how terrifying it must be if they ARE still alive.

Seems equally, if not MORE likely, that something failed and it's either stuck in wreckage or just sitting there on bottom while they slowly asphyxiate. I mean it's designed to handle the pressures of that depth. Yeah, something could've failed that led to an implosion, but it could also just be disabled and sitting there well within its operational limits. I mean you're cruising a wreck - how hard would it be to have snagged a cable or something? If that's the case, I'm just not sure what they can get out there in time. There are just a handful of submersibles that can operate at that depth and fewer still that can manipulate items. There's no way they can get something on scene on time - is there? EDIT: Evidently the Alvin is still in Massachusetts at Woods Hole. Is there anything else like it in the world? And I have to believe the process of making it seaworthy for that kind of dive is a matter of months, not days. (EDIT) Nope - nevermind. Woods says the Alvin is on the West Coast. So it's out. Feel like these folks are boned. Last edited by DJ's left nut; 06-19-2023 at 03:30 PM.. |

They probably let someone drive who identified as a submarine captain.
This makes me put additional thought into one my ideas....Now I suddenly want to target a wealthy audience to take on midwest adventures. The more you charge the better they'll see the deal. |

If you all want to read the gnarliest description of a worksite incident ever, look up the explosive decompression known as the Byford Dolphin Incident.

And yeah - it's a pretty incredible demonstration of what pressure can do. 'Spaghettification' does not sound like much fun... |
