I just wonder if you guys are obsessed like I am over the horrible situation happening now with the lost submersible Titan, and the five people inside. I can't at this point see any possibility that they have or will be saved. It's very sad.
conserve oxygen
On our little bit of news we are getting, there is still hope they are alive as they are picking up pounding noises. They say there is enough oxygen until tomorrow morning.From everything I have heard I think they are gone. If so, I hope it was quick.
I am seeing all the news reports from BBC, CNN but of course, who knows what the truth really is...for example, suppose the oxygen tank was not filled right up and it's already finished? Stuff like that can happen and who would ever know? But still, of course the great effort has to be made, just in the now unlikely hope that they are still alive and can be saved!On our little bit of news we are getting, there is still hope they are alive as they are picking up pounding noises.

Yes, unfortunately the news doesn't have to be accurate any more. Fact checking by them is a thing of the past.I am seeing all the news reports from BBC, CNN but of course, who knows what the truth really is...for example, suppose the oxygen tank was not filled right up and it's already finished?

I feel the same. Even if they find it there's not many vehicles that can get it to the surface. They can't open it until it's on the surface. Hopefully it's found on the surface or not deep. I've seen that scenario on the news too. So there's hope then. But that's in such a large area the rescuers are working night and day to try and spot them. I'm praying for a miracle. Those little children that survived lost in the jungle lately tells me Miracles do happen. Let's hope.I pretty much lost hope for them to survive when I heard a couple days ago that even if they made it to the surface they are unable to open it from the inside to get out. But Miracles do and have happened when all hope has been given up.
I agree. You just don't know what's going on really...so you can't evaluate the risk you may be taking.I'm not too hopeful about their chances as they've been missing since Sunday and are nearing the end of the sub's life support capabilities.
I read that the company tried to save money on safety features, including viewing ports not rated to the depths they planned to visit.
Submarine Tourism Company Owner: "They say there's no such thing as bad press."
Everyone on Earth, thinking about freezing to death (or asphyxiating) in the dark, or possibly being crushed to the size of a walnut by the incalculable pressure of the volume of water overhead: "ummmmm...."
Fingers crossed, but not with much hope.

OMG!!!!The sub imploded, debris from it found near the Titanic by a remote vehicle.
I did not hear that. That's too bad. I'm sure they suffered, just hope not too bad. What an awful way to go.The sub imploded, debris from it found near the Titanic by a remote vehicle.
