I thought now is a good time to place bets.

1. Over/Under on how long (days) until the sub is found.

2. Over/Under on how long it take for bodies to be removed.

3. Odds that the sub imploded VS they're just dead inside once found.

4. If imploded, odds that fish have gone inside and eaten the bodies before they can be salvaged - just like how fish would eat the sea urchins I'd knife open to clear a space on my favorite rocky cove bench in southern Spain.
Okay, bad idea. Skip this one - or - insert your own gruesome ending, as creativity allows.

*You can't get slowed down by a proper inspection when you got rich suckers willing to pay $250k to be test submariners.

Thomas Dolby's wife had an iconic role, impressively iconic one might say, in the movie, The Betsy. Their union has held firm for 35 years.

How can an airplane flying overhead hear banging from a sub two miles below?
You think they are just sitting on the ocean floor?
I bet they are, but they are long since dead.


This article here says one guy signed up and paid deposit but pulled out late due to safety concerns. Says they were cutting corners.

1. Found on sonar/instruments: tomorrow
2. Pulled to surface and bodies removed: 3 weeks
3. I think they had a power failure.
4. Not imploded. They suffocated. Bacteria inside bodies will have begun the decay process. Medical examiner will be flown to the barge/ship that gathers them to open the lid before sailing back. Hold your nose.

Mars applicants just thinned a bit.

Is anyone going to place a marker on the "they are alive and will be saved" space?

There's still hope!

I don't see how they are going to be able to hook a cable to the sub so it can be pulled up.
Maybe they have a really good arm tool but it seems like it could be difficult to execute such a hook up.

If these people live, it will be completely miraculous and Hollywood wants the story rights!

Pressure at that depth is incredible.
It's an absolute tragedy.

We have so much technology doing incredible things, we forget about how so many things can go so wrong so fast. Anyone who's been in a high speed car crash gets this.

I revise my prior guess. They won't find this thing soon.

Today they've dropped buoys with sensors to detect stuff. No sounds.
And the airplanes that spotted stuff on surface determined it was not related.

ROV (remote operated vehicle) arriving tomorrow.

It's going to be the hunt for titanic all over again. Except we now know where and have better tech than when Ballard first made his discovery.

This would only be better if they had water and air and so could go on for a month. Unfortunately, they're doomed.

I think going down to 10,000 feet under water should present its own obvious risks snd if some nuts wants to do that, god be with him.
Rather than regulations coming in a overseeing every single odd endeavor, how about just a warning that must be given to all venturers, kind of like "you are going where no man has gone before. If you trust, then we will only say Good Luck".

Who was it that said Caveat Emptor?
"the principle that the buyer alone is responsible for checking the quality and suitability of goods before a purchase is made."

They are bolted into the sub, so if floating on surface they can't get out for fresh air.

If they are in the water, it's 38 degrees down low and so they are going to be hypothermic.

Basically, they're dead.

Depending on how this progresses, it's the summer of the submarine. And of Trump's indictments. And of "Hunter Biden".

I think if you are going to do things like this you should have to put $10M or so in escrow for the government to keep if the Coast Guard has to get involved

Looks like those 7 backup systems to return to the surface failed.

Doesnt sound like that Logitech Wireless Gamepad controller (G F710) used to power the Titan for $30 was worth a ****.

That device has been reviewed thousands of times by "gamers" since 2010 and it suffers from irritating connection problems. - - - Never mind that it is only compatible with decade old Windows and Chrome systems. Garbage in, garbage out.



A debris field was found by a remote vehicle from the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guard.

The 96 hour oxygen mark has come and gone.
Cant imagine being a family member.

PS. When the carbon-fibre hull arrived from manufacturing, it was 5" thick instead of the 7" thick that had been expected by company engineers. A former employee had warned Oceangate about their decision to rely on sensitive accoustic monitoring (listening to cracking or popping sounds made by the hull under pressure) to detect flaws, rather than a scan of the hull.

"Accoustic monitoring would only show when a component is about to fail, often only milliseconds before an implosion . . . and would not detect any existing flaws prior to putting pressure onto the hull," said former Oceangate director of Marine Operations, David Lochridge.
