The search for a missing submersible exploring the wreck of the Titanic is a race against time as the vessel’s oxygen supply continues to decrease. Retired U.S. Navy Captain David Marquet explains what a rescue operation would be like and the difference between a submersible and a submarine.

I am just so confused, about why this is a thing. That ship is a tomb. Anyone who goes there for “tourism” is disgusting.
In 2 days we’ll get the news that they found the submarine but it was too late. Each paid 250k for this trip. Makes me glad I don’t have that kind of 💰
Do they know if they made it to the wreckage of the Titanic?
Catastrophic Failure. If the communications alone failed they would surface with one of the 7 mechanisms designed to abort the dive. Even if they lost their radios, they could use their EBIRP. It would be a lithium battery fire, but they'd be able to begin a sequence to surface. At 2:45 into the dive they would have been 8-10,000' deep, so they were not at the wreck site yet and couldn't have been tangled in debris. Whatever happened, it seems like it was quick. Just tragic.
It most likely had a structural issue and was crushed.
The USO got them.
Opposite. This is the opposite of a T-72 tank exploding and the turret flying into the air. Opposite. It was an Implosion at 20, 000 feet underwater. Then it went straight down at 70 mph.
Those souls are a permanent part of the background down there. 250k seems kinda cheap for something that can't be replaced.
Someday the submarine will have Rustcicles.
fish food
The titanic just keeps screwing ppl
Looks like they all know how this is going to end…
Their lives are in God's hands and I hope that he grants them mercy and sends his angels to bring them comfort and peace of mind and to not give up hopes 🙏
Oh they are dead.
GO NAVY💋🇺🇲☦️🩰💯🕊️👍👍
?
As a former CubScout and BoyScout, Ill say it. THERE IS NO HOPE! They are dead or will be as NO CAPABILITY EXISTS to save or retrieve them. This is a SEARCH MISSION ONLY likely only overly dramatized because a Billionaire is involved. RIP
This is very sad but im praying continue to pray
"Navy's deep diving rescue can only reach depths of about 2,000 feet", unless there is another ship capable of going down that low it's over
Thanks for the explanation. Have gotten into an "esoteric" discussion on the internet about how submarines are pressurized, or not. How does that work? At the really heavy pressure of the deep ocean, doesn't the internal pressure of the craft have to balance out the amount of pressure exerted upon it? Would that be separate from the pressurization needed to maintain the same pressure as at the surface? Thanks for any feedback. Really hoping for the best to find these folks.
The Titanic wreck are is a graveyard. Hopefully it gets protection from greedy companies like this, profiting from a tragedy
It's a TRIP THAT ALL THAT MONEY THE PASSENGERS GOT….THEY CHOSE TO DO SOMETHING SO DANGEROUS. These poor souls are TWO MILES UNDERWATER. IN A CRAFT that is VERY RARE DESIGN WISE. NOT EVEN the most technologically advanced U.S. NAVY SUB CAN REACH THOSE DEPTHS. Then you have the very dangerous situation of resurfacing when it comes to the human body dealing with the possibility of getting the BENDS. For these guys to be SO RICH….this is a TERRIBLE WAY to go OUT. If these guys are found ALIVE. IT would be THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD. Me being ex-NAVY, the OCEAN on the SURFACE, ITSELF, has an UNLIMITED amount potential THREATS.. Being stranded 2 miles underwater is DARKER THAN OUTER SPACE. Let's hope that there isn't any underwater, civilizations that may be behind the disappearance.
They're dead
this is going to take weeks to find them.

A news team covered the making of this a while back and during the interview they stated that they built the vessel extremely fast.
It probably struck an iceberg and sank to the bottom
I'd imagine they would have noticed they were no longer getting telemetry and aborted immediately.
That said if they are on the surface they surely could have used the radio by now.
They're dead
Seems like an adventure company like this would have an emergency plan in place, instead of depending on Coast Guards of the USA and Canada to attempt an unprepared rescue hopefully.
Way too sad. Hope everything works out.
Can we talk about the perfection behind him …..
Those poor souls boarded a coffin, locked from the outside, that took them to the depths of the ocean where they probably are dead. They bought a very expensive death just for the thrill of seeing the Titanic wreckage. The ironic is that now their vessel could be part of the Titanic wreckage, entangled with it. Horrific story. Agonizing in pitch black atmosphere, hungry, desperate, panicking, running out of oxygen, relieving themselves on the floor, canned like sardines in a small space. This is a horror story
If oceangates last safety plan was to be yanked out by a giant magnet, is their business model, they had no business having passengers at all.
this search will cost millions – it sure wouldnt happen for migrants; double standard
This can't be sudden happened. Can be a well planned murder by a master minded.
Do mission on it..
Maybe the souls of that 5 people we're reincarnated from 5 people that did actually died on the Titanic and now they went back again!
What we mortals forget that there is something more to life than what we See or Know. Titanic site is also grave for over 1500 people who died an unpleasant death. We should not make it a tourist attraction. Let them rest in Peace
Time to bring out that good old alien technology they've been hiding!
Mission impossible. RIP all passengers. 😢
how can u have millions of money to make this cheap submarine omg…
The oxygen must have ran out by now , it was suppose to be an 8 trip ?
You couldn’t pay me enough to go in that thing.
13000 ft just 1000 ft more than the titanic. How believable is that
They can't stop the rescue operation at 96 hours! The submersible had 96 hours of oxygen assuming all 5 are breathing. If just 1 person stops breathing, either voluntarily or by force, the oxygen availability could be extended to 115 hours. But then, they will have to worry about the air quality at sometime… I am sure the passengers have thought about this — they are all astute business people.
It likely imploded
Please tell me the crew didn't know this was coming.
