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 can’t remember the name, but we have ships designed to rescue submarines from that depth with essentially a long ass crane. I don’t know of they still exist, but America did it to recover a soviet(?) Sub that fell to the bottom of the ocean.
Either way there’s no way they have enough oxygen to last much longer unfortunately…
They do still exist:

But unfortunately we have gone from it will take a minor miracle to save them, to it will take a major miracle, along with at least one of our core assumptions being wrong.
With the news of the potential debris being located, the odds of rescue are even less. The coast guard is set to give an update on the debris in about an hour.
