[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was reading that they have apparently 96hrs of oxygen supply. If the sub still has oxygen. It can’t return to the surface that sounds like a slow and excruciating death. [/quote]

I hate to say it, but they’re better off being crushed.[/quote]

Can you explain why they can't resurface? I don't understand.[/quote]

It’s more that if they haven’t yet, there is probably catastrophic failure preventing it. David Pogue has been on this vehicle and said it has 7 ways to surface, with or without power. If they haven’t AND aren’t communicating, the craft is likely gone or obliterated. [/quote]

Is it possible it emerged and they haven't located it yet?  (ie its floating somewhere and they are trapped inside).  Or would that be easy to spot?[/quote]

One of the rescue planes is looking at the surface for them.  So yes, that is the hope - that they have surfaced and are found there.[/quote]

It is waaaaay to deep to just "re-emerge" . There is no debris field, there is no floating device. This isn't some buoy that just pops to the surface.

We're talking 13,000+ ft where the water pressure and currents are too intense for even military devices to go.

I don't think people understand how deep this is. Or the intense water pressure. [/quote]

From above ---  David Pogue has been on this vehicle and said it has 7 ways to surface, with or without power.[/quote]
