For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires’ son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).

They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They’ve been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they’ll make it?

    Sadly, I think they are screwed, they either imploded, they are trapped and dying/dead somewhere with no means of rescue, or possibly surfaced with no comms and stranded somewhere. They ded.

      I watched a news segment on these subs before this event, and the “door” is one of the caps which is bolted on from the outside. Even if they surfaced, they’d be trapped inside until they run out of oxygen…

      Here’s the video

        Wow what a nightmare scenario. You have an emergency and surface only to find no one around. You look outside and see the sun so all is well but damn the radio isn’t working and you spend your remaining time running out of oxygen staring out at the horizon.
