How? A “normal” sub cannot dive that deep. And if there are military subs that can and do, I don’t think their governments would want that publicly known.

Military subs can descend to 3000ft. These guys are 12000fy below.

If you think its as simple as sending down a sub to scoop up the capsule or tether a sonar beacon to a submarine and drag it around hoping to detect a ping, then I have a bridge to sell to you.

It would be like flying a kite to catch a space shuttle.

How can a military sub only go to 3000 feet, but these capsules can go to 12,000? Just wondering why the technology is so different.

Because they're not self-propelling like submarines are.

We’ve got tons of subs in our navy; why doesn’t one of ours just go there, have the crew swim over one by one, and bring those people home already?

How are they to leave their sub to enter the navy sub?

I mean tie them up and submarine floats them up as it raises? How would they attach the submersible?

You are kidding

Do tell us, how will they bring it up to the surface when you have the answers to everything.

I am sure we do have the technology to go this deep and deeper, we just aren’t able to divulge this information to the public most likely.

They won’t bring it up and if they do, there will be no survivors.

DP. I read how another company raised a piece of the Titanic a few years ago by attaching the hull to bags of diesel gas and letting them float to the surface. If they can raise a piece of the Titanic...

because it takes days to get one there. i think they are trying

I don't believe that - there are subs off the coast all the time. There are subs from other countries as well - why aren't they assisting? It's been days since this started and at least one could have made it there by now.

all i've read is they are trying to get an unmanned vessel to the site but it won't be there until later today.

The issue isn’t only the depth, it’s also the fact this submersible weighs 23,000 tons or something.

There's no military application for submarines that can reach 12,000 ft.

To what purpose it will be there? Best hope if that they are not too deep in the ocean but floating somewhere where sub can go?

honestly not sure - because they can't really pull the Titan up anyway. But that's what I read

I heard they are in "search" mode. they aren't sure what "rescue" mode would look like. the unmanned vessel would "search"

Even if we had a sub that could reach it, how would they bring it up to the surface? Especially if it is stuck on some debris or something?

And they could have traveled WITH a search vessel on board.

How irresponsible to put people in this hazardous environment, with zero exit plan if there was a mishap.
