[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It took Ballard 73 years to find the wreck. If you think they are going to find them if they did implode within weeks, you are sorely mistaken.

Exploration and discovery are not without risk be it on the ocean floor or in space.

after a certain number of days - i assume they won't keep looking.  is there any point in finding the vessel once weeks have passed?  even if they do find its location - i don't think there is any way to raise it.

Can a radar on a boat even identify something that far down? Or do you mean researchers might send down an unmanned device to look for it.[/quote]

no idea how they are searching the depths.  i really think we're never going to find them and will just have to assume what happened.  [/quote]

Post article had a good summary of how they are searching the depths (and why they can't bring it up from the bottom if found there) 
There's also the point that those 7 surfacing safety features may have worked and they still can't find it because the ocean is just that big.  If everyone is unconscious they are locked in and will have no way to open the door or call for help

The door bolts from the outside. They may be on the surface looking out at clear skies while they suffocate [/quote]
