Tourist submarine exploring Titanic wreckage disappears in Atlantic Ocean

They said they have a 1% chance of being rescued and they are hearing noises at the titanic every 30 min intervals

Sonobuoys ( Sonobuoy - Wikipedia ), dropped from a P8 Posidon ( Boeing P-8 Poseidon - Wikipedia ), they are banging on the hull every half hour and the hydrophones on the sonobuoys can triangulate it from the sound.

Just brutal. A devastating implosion would be the light switch just getting turned off. Going out this way is infinitely worse. They're most likely just sitting at the bottom of the ocean in pitch black darkness waiting on their oxygen to run out. Literally sitting around waiting to die. It's horrifying to think about.

They don't know where they are. That thing could've drifted who knows where. You're looking for a needle in a haystack. Just consider how long it took them to locate the wreckage of the Titanic and it's fucking huge and they knew the general area where it was.

The Titanic wasn't making noise asking to be found and they basically found it on the first "serious" attempt with 80s tech.

Sonar and especially the ability to see greater detail in what it sends back have come a LONG way since then.

Leadership wasn't as inept in the 80s as it is now
 
I am slightly amazed or confused at how poor our equipment is being the earth is mostly water. The sonar, item identification/locating etc. as a diver i understand the challenges and dangers of deep water but we have the space station and multiple mars rovers.

Is it because there is no future underwater like there may be in space? So if the sea is gonna rise, let’s focus on space exploration instead of what we have to work with here? Never thought about it much before but space is equally dangerous
 
Some dark humour I just came across

We've got amazing water tech I'm sure. The Navy just probably doesn't want that info out there.

they don’t hire experienced white guys because they aren’t inspirational.

It all sounds good until something goes wrong. The whole initial point of the civil rights movement was equal rights for all. That's something everyone should be able to support. But somehow it got twisted into rationalizing open discrimination.

The biggest difference, besides getting there, is that the vacuum of space is only 1 atmosphere (-15psi). The Titanic is at +5000 psi. Obviously it's more complicated than that but, there's a huge difference in structural requirements.
 
The main question is does this little sphere have a universal docking collar to match up with the DSRV, Mystic or EQUIVALENT.

1 atmosphere is 14.7 psi from my diving training in the service.

I think it's easier to go to space than it is to go to the bottom of the ocean.
I know that sounds counterintuitive, but a spacecraft only needs to withstand a few PSI of pressure after it gets there. once you figure out the 3 minutes of rocket not blowing up you're set.
what's the hull pressure at 12K feet of ocean depth?
you can send radio waves to space. not so much at bottom of the ocean depths.

It has no docking capability at all.

A seismograph. We'll hit a roof bolt with a hammer every hour. They'll use triangulation and pin point where we're at. When we hear 3 explosions, they have found us. This is a last resort for locating if an emergency happens, people are trapped and the electronic tracking fails
 
Not to be morbid or insensitive, but how does human decomposition work in this scenario if the unit is still fully sealed?
 
At this point, living or dead, at some point this turned into a large port-a-potty, so the question becomes, what kind of graffiti did they write on the walls????
