So apparently a sub has disappeared en route to the Titanic site.

I hate to say it, but…everyone on it is likely dead

They could just be meeting up with Harold Holt

I just hope their deaths were quick and they aren’t still alive and panicking

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

ABC news was saying that there was theoretically still about 70-90 hours of oxygen left in the sub.

[-] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

They lost contact fairly suddenly half way down. There’s only oxygen left if the structure is still intact, which…may not be the case

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

True. If so, then it would be quick due to extreme water pressure and very very ugly. Don't envy the people attempting to retrieve the sub though. Underwater accidents at depth are very very ugly.

Just heard this on the news! I want to hope they're okay, but wow. I can't imagine what that would be like for anyone involved.

I feel worst for their families - I can only imagine what they're going through now. I really hope it was quick for all involved

I read somewhere that it has enough oxygen for 4 days, but I don't know how they will find it or bring it to the surface if they do.
