[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twitter has a tracker. https://twitter.com/titanicsub/status/1671752373629485062?s=46&t=jpQrpUebV7l8eN2uMUeBaA[/quote] okay, re this air tracker--not sure if this has been mentioned before, but what if the captain of this submersible had a heart attack and that's why they lost contact? If so, there would be more air to breathe for longer[/quote] I read that the way it worked was that the mothership sent directions in text and the pilot steered with a video game controller. But apparently it was simple to steer and since there was a retired naval officer on board, I assume he could have taken over. Also, there were automatic fail safes to drop ballast for any failures, including if the batteries ran below 40%. The pilot’s death wouldn’t have impacted the loss of communications.[/quote]
