[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it crazy to think that the mother sub couldn’t have had some type of cable attached to the submersible? The submersible would have been found very quickly. There are already fiber optic cables spanning the oceans now. Maybe that type of cable could have been used? [/quote] It’s not crazy, but if you think about the dimensions of the dive, it doesn’t make sense. To reach the titanic, the titan sub has to dive 2.4 miles. 2.4 miles of any type of cable is very heavy to transport and would create an enormous amount of drag, which would drain the batteries. It could also get snagged. It wasn’t feasible for such a deep dive. [/quote]
