We have pics of the Titanic wreck, so clearly someone has been down there before? How did they live to tell the tale?

I think the first to take photos was an unmanned sub. But there have been manned subs, like Alvin, which is a spherical sub made out of titanium. The lost titan is different because it’s a tourist sub, not made by a huge research institution like Wood’s hole like Alvin.

Then why can't one of the subs like Alvin go down and get them.

They don’t know where it is. Even if they could mobilize Alvin that quickly (which they can’t because there is a long list of checks and safety protocols that organizations like Wood’s Hole requires), without coordinates, it would be like one amoeba trying to find another amoeba in an Olympic sized pool.

It's a FIGURATIVE needle in a haystack. A literal needle in a haystack would be a needle in a haystack.

It’s a literal drop in the ocean.

If you were going to go on a super risky excursion like this, would you bring a suicide method with you? Can you even buy cyanide pills?

Hasn't it been four days as of now? I think time has run out.

It was said that they might possibly have enough oxygen to last into tomorrow. They had 4 days worth and started out on Sunday morning.

DP. I heard the O2 will run out on Thursday afternoon. France is send an underwater robot that can go down to 16,000 feet, it's supposed to get there this evening. Hopefully it finds something.

Those pics were taken with a remote rover.

Then how did we get artifacts?

I swear I cannot with some of you people.

I'm watching the CBS video and I have so many questions about the woman who saved to visit Titanic for THIRTY YEARS and started crying when she saw it. Like, I get it, everyone has a dream, but why is THAT your dream?

Makes sense. Thank you.

Yes, remember in the movie, the divers are using robots to film and that's how the necklace was recovered?

The drawing is recovered. Rose has had the necklace all along.

+1 if not out of air, then food and water. Plus sitting there with bodily waste.

Not being able to stand for four days sounds awful. Not even being able to stretch out to make yourself comfortable. Just horrific.

Yes you're right, I appreciate the correction.

Rose found the necklace in her pocket after the ship went down. She keeps mum
and returns it to the ocean as an old woman at the end of the movie.

The first reflex when you're trapped and panicked is to open the hatch, which here means instant death.

If there is no hatch, then they might turn on each other.

I pray they find peace, whatever the final outcome. Most of all, I pray for that young man. I have an 18 year old son. My heart goes out to this young life.
