Missing Titanic Submersible

This is absolutely horrific. They said tomorrow at 11:09 am the sub will no longer have oxygen for its 5 passengers.

"The task was huge: Finding a craft the size of a minivan in an area twice the size of the state of Connecticut and up to 2½ miles deep.

Deep water, high pressure: Why the Titanic sub search is so complex

Data as of 10 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday.
Eight ships included in the mission are shown.

The search was stepped up Wednesday in one area where Canadian P-3 planes detected what Carl Hartsfield of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution described as “banging noises.” Analysts have not yet figured out what was making those noises.

The submersible, named Titan, carried a pilot and four tourists toward the wreckage of the Titanic, which rests 12,500 feet below the surface on the ocean floor about 900 miles off Cape Cod."

The latest on the Titan submersible tragedy and what's next in the investigation

The around-the-clock search for the missing Titan submersible engrossed the world for days. But after news of the catastrophic implosion that killed the pilot and his four passengers near the Titanic shipwreck, investigators are focusing on how it happened — and if it could have been prevented.

“We have to retain hope as part of what we are doing as a human community to find the explorers and bring them to safety,” she said.

A U.S. Navy official said Wednesday that a special naval salvage system that could be used to haul the Titan to the surface had arrived in St. John’s. Officials were in the process of identifying a vessel that it could be attached to, and once one is chartered, it would take about 24 hours to weld the system to the deck.

They probably had some kind catastrophic hull failure or it would have floated to the surface like it was designed to incase of power loss. God Bless the crew and their families.

A Canadian military surveillance aircraft has detected underwater noises during its hunt for "Titan," the missing Titanic tourist submersible, providing a glimmer of hope for the public about the five people on board. Mike Armstrong explains how this discovery is impacting the operation and the vast size of the search area, while Eric Sorensen explains how sonar buoys, a technology first used during the Second World War, could play a critical role in the search.

Plus, it is the deepest successful sub rescue in history. Roger Mallinson was one of two men rescued from a Canadian-made submersible stuck at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in 1973. Redmond Shannon speaks with Mallinson about how he and his colleague Roger Chapman became trapped, how the pair survived and his empathy for the five people on board the "Titan."

One question arises. How will they get oxygen into the Titan should they find it & haul it to surface? The billionaire, Stockton Rush, is/was under heavy scrutiny because he didn't want to pay to have the sub completely certified to avoid any future catastrophes.

One was, the looking glass is only pressurized to go 1,500 meters under water while the Titanic's location is 4,000 meters. And Stockton never advised any passengers of that danger.

Some are speculating the glass exploded from the pressure being so deep. The news said there were 3 prior trips to see the Titanic. Seems as though Stockton Rush' bull headed attitude got the best of him while 4 others had to pay with their lives.

I have a gut feeling the vessel has perished!

The Titan submersible imploded, killing all 5 on board, the US Coast Guard says

The U.S. Coast Guard says a missing submersible imploded near the wreckage of the Titanic, killing all five people on board.

apnews.com

“You’re talking about totally dark environments,” in which an object several dozen feet away can be missed, he said. “It’s just a needle in a haystack situation unless you’ve got a pretty precise location.”

The area of the North Atlantic where the Titan vanished Sunday is also prone to fog and stormy conditions, making it an extremely challenging environment to conduct a search-and-rescue mission, said Donald Murphy, an oceanographer who served as chief scientist of the Coast Guard’s International Ice Patrol. The passengers are also facing temperatures just above freezing.

The Saudi-owned satellite channel Al Arabiya showed a clock on air counting down to their estimate of when the air could potentially run out.

What a horrific way to go, gawd I hope it goes quick for them if they dont miraculously make it.

I'm so damn claustrophobic, you couldnt get me inside that thing even on dry land, just the though of being in their shoes makes me start to hyperventilate

Must be nice to have a quarter-million to piss away on shit like this.

The pressure chamber has not yet been found. But the titanium end caps of the pressure chamber have been found, along with the outer frame and the tail cone cover.

Do you suppose that the crew's cell phones and laptops survived, or were they obliterated?
