Tik Tok is a news source, who'd have thunk it.

At 2:49 p.m., we lost contact with Helobious.  He was descending at the time.

It was the last attempt.

Let's get in this can

Wait, we're sinking, sealed inside?

OU sucks

 

I may not have gotten the syllable count right, yet I'm pretty sure what I typed is still correct.

Even at 13,000 Ft deep, OU still sucks!

There once was a sub from Nantucket...with a hatch so tight, it stuck it.

They screamed with chagrin, as they started to descend, Cap'n just shat in the bucket.

If you look at the video in this Reddit post, it looks like there is no ‘hatch’…the whole thing cracks open just before the foreskin.  Pretty sure they just bolt it shut from the outside.

please, we're Americans... we don't know what "foreskin" is

Said it before, saying it again....god I love this place.

Also, my destiny being "burn in hell for eternity" is a done-deal at this point.

The decision to put the shitter right at the only viewing window is Mensa-level.

I’m assuming that the tapping sound was really Morse code, and the message was, “Hey y’all, hold my beer!”

Edit: did Gatorubet see post 661 before his idiot ass started talking about Morse code? No, no, he didn’t.

Here's journalist David Pogue who rode in the Titan saying they're bolted in from the outside:

 

 

If you want to stay informed, you have to read the comments on TikTok videos. It’s called doing your own research.

You have to think that it would be well known if they imploded. I don’t know if the SOSUS nets are still maintained, but I’d bet there were more than a few vessels capable of detecting the sound  in the relative vicinity, and that they could correlate the time stamp and calculate if such a noise would match up with the bearing and distance to the wreck site. 
 

I suspect they get to go the asphyxiation route. I’d also bet that everyone on that thing has their cell phone on them, and I d be morbidly curious to see if they left videos or notes once their plight became very certain or their batteries were almost done. Something else to consider…it’s got to be very, very cold in that tub and they may die of hypothermia before they suffocate.

I'm still going with an implosion, which to me would be better than just waiting out the lack of power and O2.

But to you other point about hypothermia, they would most likely be lacking in water (irony) to drink. 3days without is no bueno.

Either way, we'll be hearing the switch to a recovery phase later tomorrow (not that they'll be found). SAR has been for the families, News outlets, just for training, & show.

The walls supposedly were heated (for as long as the batteries held out).  The switch to turn on the heat likely was on the outside of the sub, if I had to guess based on the other design "features."

Some gold from that thread:

Quote

 

We have no clue what happened to this submersible. Most of the comments about it are either pointing out an engineering peculiarity (like the game controller, makeshift nature of the submersible), or saying it's just rich people so who cares?

What I want to know is why aren't we considering the possibility that a massive creature attacked a deep-sea submersible, leaving it disabled and trapping the crew at the bottom of the Atlantic? With time running out, a visionary oceanographer could recruit rescue diver Jason Statham to save the crew and the sea itself from an unimaginable threat -- a 75-foot-long prehistoric shark known as the Megalodon.

I think it would have been heard. Most likely by the mother ship to begin with. Sound travels very quickly underwater and it would be easy to time stamp it to match the time the sub was lost  

Also, they were only 15 minutes from finishing their dive and navigating the entire way. I bet it won’t take long to actually locate them once they get assets on hand to search with ROV’s. I would suspect that they had a plan on where to approach the debris field and wreck from, and they’re not far from it. 
 

The fact that it didn’t surface on its own with the tethers to the ballast suggests it’s either stuck in the mud, perhaps snagged on debris or the wreck itself or, and this is highly possible, Oceangate’s system failed or they pencil whipped the dissolving attachments. 
 

I’d think w very wealthy families involved will foot the bill to find and recover them if the assets currently on hand fail or are called off. The thing will surface in its own if it’s still buoyant and an ROV can snip the ties to its ballast bags.

Lack of water is very valid. They surely had something onboard to drink. It’s they were going to be down for hours on end and probably had several bottles of water per person on hand or the equivalent. It’s not live on it for a month stuff, but maybe enough to last more than the standard three days.

It would be merciful if it did implode.

I wouldn’t rule out the heating system getting a little too ambitious and the thing turning into an oven for the same reason.

In the “survived and sunk to the bottom” case I read another nightmare to consider in the Reddit thread. We all envision that they sunk and landed horizontally like we see in all the photos. But it’s just as likely they they settled vertically and are standing face to face as they contemplate their fate. Hopefully shitter end down…
