The_DADDY Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 1 minute ago, Padders said: 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! Fingers crossed indeed matey. One interview I heard today toyed with the idea of a rapid decompression being a possible reason for the loss of contact. At 1st thought that sounds very gruesome. Having said that, if they do/have lost their lives then I think if it were me I'd prefer the quicker way to die rather than the longer drawn out way of slowly suffocating in a metal tube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, goodnight! what im reading its supposed to be able to go to a depth of 4000m which is further down than the Titanic is situated (3800) so in theory, pressure shouldnt be an issue Edited June 20, 2023 by melthebell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Daddy though, would rather go quickly than it being drawn out over days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the picture of the sub I'd have thought those external cables (or pipes) would be vulnerable to a monster shark or similar attack, or getting snagged in summat. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/titanic-search-wreck-missing-oxygen-b2360999.html Also navy subs have steel hulls, not carbon fibre.

hauxwell Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) I’ve just read that banging sounds have been detected where the sub went missing, but it also said circumstances are against those on board. When this is all over the Titanic should be allowed to rest in peace. Edited June 21, 2023 by hauxwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 How loud a noise are 5 people, probably knackered by now, banging on a sub which is a few inches thick actually going to make? Seems unlikely to be them tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very important ppl on that vessel who make a lot of contribution to UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
