I've seen some that are metal. Get Richard Dean Anderson on the phone.

Implosion an hour and half in seems the likeliest scenario to me, otherwise it seems likely at least one of the fail safe's would have brought them to the surface unless they are snagged on something. Or perhaps they're bobbing around on the surface in their ocean coloured tomb waiting for the oxygen to run out. Again I might be being thick but surely it would have a device fitted to track it at surface level as this is one of the most likely scenarios if something went wrong? |

Radio waves and water don't play nicely together and 4000 metres deep is a fuckton of water to block any signals.

Yeah I'd have thought it would have something once its surfaced so that radar would actually work. Surely to christ? |

If you’re talking about a black box recorder style transmitter, those are only detectable from a few km away

What if they held it outside the sub at arms length? Maybe waved it about a bit?

Considering orcas are attacking boats these days I think getting whales and similar involved could be a mistake, maybe one had a pop at the sub?
Or it imploded all by itself.

We'll never know. This is going to be one of those stories that keeps on popping up from time to time where a new theory has been developed, and a whole documentary follows these people with the new theory and it ends with them not finding the sub but there's still hope. Repeat ad nauseum.

Apparently they've got a rover on the sea bed now, transmitting images up top
It's making me feel claustrophobic

I was gonna suggest dolphins a few days back, but they can't get much under 400m.
Then I thought trained sharks,but that has potential downsides.
I was under the impressions that things like sound/vibration could be pricked up pretty well under water, so you'd think there'd be some kind of wind up shaker-banger-thingy that tapped out morse code.

On my flight the other day, the lifejackets had a monkey for attracting attention.

Was it one of the monkeys that you pull down hard on, or one of the ones you blow?

The problem, apparently, is that they'd be banging on carbon fibre and not steel. Which, sounds like banging on a log, not ringing a bell according to one expert chap. So much more difficult to pick up and pinpoint. |

It's literally a tomb isn't it. 17 bolts sealing you inside.

It's 2023 ffs, I can't believe a more watertight (no pun intended) escape route hadn't been thought of? We're down to banging tin lids?! There was a guy on Dragons Den a while ago with some distress beacon thingy.

Debris field found apparently
A debris field has been discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic, the US Coast Guard has just announced.

Admittedly people are probably digging up the worst and most deluded content but there is a bit of a Mark Rylance in Don’t Look Up vibe from Oceangate.
