Titantic Claims 5 more?

Stories like this are nothing but massive self-confidence boosters for me. I just lay here on my couch reading about people getting stuck in caves and dying, getting lost in tiny submarines at the bottom of the ocean etc and just think to myself about how freaking intelligent I apparently am.

Never once got stuck at the bottom of the ocean zoned out playing Madden or watching Netflix.

Exactly. You know how you don't die stuck spelunking in a cave? You sit on your couch instead.

I wonder if there's some kind of tripwire they can trigger in case of a situation like this, where they can choose to die instantly instead of slowly suffocating or dying of dehydration?

I don’t know, but I’d be trying to figure out a way to bust a window or something
 
Last year, the founder of tour operator OceanGate Expeditions showed a CBS team the inside of a submersible used to visit the Titanic's wreckage. The CBS video shows a small chamber, with about as much space as a minivan.

There are no chairs or seats and the passengers sit cross-legged on the floor, having taken off their shoes before entering.

For such an advanced submersible, the interior is mostly bare and simple, with just one button and a screen on the wall. The rest of the vessel's operations are run on a handheld controller that looks remarkably similar to a gaming console, complete with colorful buttons.

There's only one small toilet in the vessel's front, which "doubles as the best seat in the house," according to an OceanGate webpage that's no longer available. It added that when the toilet is being used, they install a privacy curtain "and turn the music up loud."

It recommended that passengers restrict their diet before and during the dive "to reduce the likelihood that you will need to use the facilities."

So they're also starving...great

Let's hope they never find this thing, because who would want to look inside that cartridge afterwards?

Hopefully it just imploded under pressure and killed everyone instantly. There’s no real chance of a rescue if anyone is still alive

but the news says they are banging.

probably fucking on the toilet is what that means?

Yeah, not sure what this "we heard banging" refers to. These guys are two miles deep, how do you hear banging? Somebody else understand what that refers to?

my limited knowledge assumes they are using sonor or something and that picked up any noise.

Didn't your heart almost explode and kill you from sitting on your couch?

So evidently the depth is so deep that our Navy subs can't even get to where this sub is.

I'm totally rethinking my initial "I get on it for 250K statement" because the more you read the more this seemed like a death trap from the get go. Who gets on a sub that goes down deeper than our Navy subs can that we spend billions on? That does not sound smart at all.
