I'd expect a tourist sub to have emergency tanks that can be emptied using simple mechanical means when the sub loses maneuvering capability; maybe even a dead man's switch that causes the sub to resurface. And I'd expect emergency resurfacing actions to release buoys with beacons. So my assumption is that the sub got crushed or is stuck in the wreck of the Titanic. Which means there is no help possible and they are lost already.
But maybe I wildly overestimate the sophistication of their rig?
I also don't understand why they wouldn't operate on a tether, but maybe that was too expensive?
- chinathrow 3y agoYou should check out the CBS report and watch through it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29co_Hksk6o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29co_Hksk6o

- lolc 3y agoAh right, yea that part was interesting.
