Me too, if I was a billionaire getting on board, I'd at least make sure there was a GPS. Apparently it has a text system using that joystick, but could have malfunctioned or be out of radar.

HeHasRisen Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 40 hours of oxygen left and it's bolted shut by 17 bolts. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway.... @Janus if you watch the first few seconds of the video I posted in post 8 you will hear that this sub is "unapproved and not certified by any regulatory body", so expecting it to have a "black box" is probably a stretch. Well, at least they went out sticking it to the nanny state and its burdensome red tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sub that is, not with the safety regulations. Permit me a moment of schadenfreude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padders Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 My thoughts are with the occupants... I'm praying for a successful rescue.. What a terrible way to go, trapped in a sub a couple of miles deep in the Atlantic, and gradually running out of air.. Fingers crossed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the porthole could have caved in hours ago, which would have resulted in an almost instantaneous death with the water pressure. Well, goodnight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
