[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Looks like none of those 7 ways to surface worked if you're passed out.

And unlike a Cessna pilot who lost cabin pressure and passed out, there's no super sonic boom F16 to zoom in and rescue [/quote]

I doubt they passed out -- more likely they were killed instantly when the hull was breached.  Not sure what circumstances would lead to them being passed out.

So they needed to engage these "7 ways" to surface?  If so and they didn't do it - they're dead.[/quote]
