Mystery Titanic Tourist Submarine Lost * Found as Debris

This sub is being controlled by a Logitech game controller and parts from a local camping store. How can a sub be allowed for such depths with this type of equipment? Yet these rich dudes payed $250,000 for a seat?

It's unregulated and uncertified. OceanGate, probably similarly to Ghislaine Maxwell's sub under the Terra Marr project did whatever it wanted evading regulatory bodies and certification.

Here's Why The Missing Sub Titan—Unregulated And 'Jerry-Rigged' With A Game Console—Faces Heavy Scrutiny

A missing vessel used to explore the Titanic wreck has been described as "jerry-rigged” as search and rescue operations continue Tuesday.

Too late for the occupants. Hard to think of a worse way to die

I can't speak for the quality of the whole sub, but using game controllers for these sorts of things is common practice and not at all unusual.

I understand but going down 4km depths wouldn't you want high tech state of the art equipment preferably military grade?

Here is the video that has been delete from my original tweet.

Yes you would. Even being in a boat on top of the ocean has plenty of risks let alone what these guys were doing. Like going into the outback with little water and no gps or way of communicating.

Here is a great visualisation of how deep the Titanic and the lost ocean Gate sub is

Sonar expert says underwater 'banging' heard by Coast Guard at sub search site is 'debris falling from the decaying wreck' - and proof of life of Titanic Five is 'wishful thinking'​

Sonar expert says 'banging' is 'debris falling from decaying wreck'

Professor Jeff Karson at Syracuse University, told DailyMail.com that the sounds could be coming from Titanic wreck debris and proof of life hopes could be 'wishful thinking'.

Well from what i've read, even the military regularly uses games controllers for these sorts of things.

While not sure exactly how much oxygen might be left on Titan, there could be some hope. Crew of Pisces III spent 84 hours trapped in their submersible before being rescued with only 12 minutes of oxygen left. They were lifted out by the US Navy.

Maybe they found Bikini Bottom

This is eerie. Stockton Rush's wife is a descendant of two wealthy passengers who died on the Titanic in 1912.

Wendy Rush is the great-great-granddaughter of Isador Straus — who co-founded Macy’s department store — and Ida Straus, who were among the wealthiest people aboard the Titanic’s ill-fated transatlantic voyage

They don't run out of oxygen until this evening some time in Australia I think? I had it at around 9.00pm but elsewhere I'm seeing the calculation at around 8.00pm.

You'd expect the controller to be fixed in somewhere as well, safe from dropping it on the floor and someone standing on it for example and breaking it.

How deep was the Pisces III through? At almost 4km down for the Titan I think it’s all false hope.

 

[Awakening]

Macabre but less than 8 hours according to this

Not sure and I agree, it isn't the same kind of situation. Unfortunately, unless there's some kind of miracle and they're found floating up top somewhere, there doesn't seem to be much hope of saving them if we hang on to it until the last.

They are bolted in so even if they somehow have surfaced up top without being found yet they can’t get out and will still run out of oxygen.

How cool if they find on board video footage of a massive argument taking place over a broken game controller.

Saw it written somewhere, but often they use older equipment that has been well and truly proven and tested (with clear knowledge of when and how it fails) not necessarily state of the art stuff.

Meanwhile, brand new products often fail in unexpected ways. The game controller is an amusing talking point, but probably one of the least likely points of failure given how rarely game controllers actually fail under heavy use, and gamers aren't exactly known to go easy on their controllers.

I wonder if it's crossed any of their minds yet to murder Rush and save on oxygen.

There's less murderous ways to try save oxygen.

Titanic five trapped on sub could be using Benadryl to 'knock themselves out'

Colonel Terry Virts, a friend of billionaire businessman Hamish Harding, said the five explorers trapped on a submersible could be using sleeping pills to put themselves to sleep and conserve air

www.mirror.co.uk

'Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning, Terry said: "(Staying calm), it's the hardest thing to do. What someone had mentioned to me is that one of the protocols would be for the crew to take basically sleeping medicine, Benadryl, just knock yourself out.

"That slows your heart rate, it reduces oxygen consumption, and then the captain would stay awake and he'd be the guy banging on the walls.

"I'm not sure if that's what they're doing but whatever you can do to stay calm would be very important because it not only helps you stay calm and make smart decisions, which is not easy in a situation like this, but it also allows you to breathe less oxygen which is a key thing, that is the limiting factor as I understand it.'

Provided any of them have sleepers on them and enough for five over three plus days.

I couldn't imagine a more terrifying, ghastly death but then having my teenaged son with me .. I just can't.

If they're gone, I hope it was fast.
