[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Communication with the sub is lost AND they don’t know where it is, 7 different ways to rise to the surface. The question is, why HAVEN’T they?[/quote] Why haven't they what? Even if they had a way to lift it, no one knows where the heck it is.[/quote] From wapo “ Navy officials have dispatched a specialized winch system, called the Flyaway Deep Ocean Salvage System, or FADOSS, that can recover heavy objects as deep as 20,000 feet — well beyond the depth of the Titanic. ” “ And even then, the system has to be welded onto a viable boat, a process that requires 24 hours of nonstop work, a Navy official told reporters Wednesday, speaking on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the service. That boat has not been chartered, the official said, putting the winch’s availability beyond the submersible’s estimated air supply.”[/quote]
