For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires’ son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).

They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They’ve been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they’ll make it?

      i honestly don’t know if i can imagine a worse way to die than spending days trapped in a tiny tube in the middle of the fucking ocean with people i barely know, slowly suffocating suspended in a gigantic void. i hope they find those guys alive.

      There’s apparently banging in the area in 30 minute intervals. That’s hopeful.

      Getting them to the surface within the confines of their remaining oxygen limit is another story…

          Or atleast drill some air holes if they are on the surface until they can find a wrench, but I imagine whatever size wrench is needed is being carried by a lot of people out there.

            I don’t think they’ll be able to depressurize their ascension that quick without dangerous consequences. Likely they’ll need 02 before they get to that point.

      I’ve heard a lot about oxygen reserves and zero about whether they have enough water for 3+ days.
