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?

    I imagine it’s prolly hours of gasping for breath before that though.

      depends if they can get rid of the carbon dioxide.
      if there’s a constant low carbon dioxide atmosphere in the sub, they’ll suffocate peacefully, as humans can’t detect lack of oxygen, just too much carbon dioxide.

      That’s why you go moronic in a decompression in an airplane, body doesn’t get enough oxygen, but can get rid of the carbon dioxide, and you don’t notice you’re suffocating

      depends on what the co2 vs o2 levels are
