No[/quote]

What about an orca? I'm not saying this would work, but we won't know for sure unless we try. [/quote]
Ha! They are two miles deep, and the submersible has 17 outer locks in place. [/quote]

They don't need to open the sub. You just take two orcas and tie a fishing net between them (maybe 50-75 feet max). The orcas then dive down, locate the sub, and scoop the ocean explorers up in the net. Then they go back to the surface and the coast guard can figure out how to get through the 17 or whatever locks.

Again, I'm not saying this will work, but it's much more worthwhile than flying a bunch of airplanes around for days. [/quote]

orcas don't dive down several miles. [/quote]

Neither do experimental carbon fiber subs controlled by video game controllers that you buy on Amazon. But alas, here we are. I say give the orcas a shot! [/quote]

This plan has about as much forethought as the movie Faceoff,  and it was successful, so sure, let’s do this. The fact that something is impossible should never stop us from trying (and by trying I mean posting on an anonymous message board about how scientists should be building a team of search and rescue orcas). I bet they’d be good for deep space rescues when we start manned missions. Isn’t deep space and deep sea practically the same thing? [/quote]
