What happened here?

Irony.

Cosmic irony.

Just for discussion points, I'm trying to list the likely outcomes of this disaster. This is based off reddit/twitter threads.


1). The sub was poorly constructed and has collapsed in on itself and all of the travelers are dead.

2). As of this morning, they have about 60 hours worth of oxygen remaining. They are at a safe depth, but they've lost power or the ability to steer using the PS3 controller and are waiting for help.

3). They've actually hit the surface but nobody knows where they might be and they are waiting to be picked up. The door is bolted from the outside so they can't open it without help and the clock is ticking on oxygen.

4). They're stuck somewhere on the decent and are simply waiting to die.


This is a miserable situation. They should have just gone to see the Edmund Fitzgerald
Between this screw up and the orcas ramming and attacking the ocean, I think I'm gonna stick to the pool this summer. The ocean needs time to chill out.

The three passengers paid a minimum of 250K each to travel to the bottom of the ocean in a homemade submarine controlled by an off-brand playstation controller to gawk at a mass grave. If you ever wondered what exactly is meant by the term "late stage capitalism," that's it.

If they are dead, it would fall under a category that my father would call a "rich person death" by which he means that someone died doing something that a middle class or poor person wouldn't have the ability to do. He often cites JFK jr. or Roy Halladay crashing their planes as examples.

Don't forget the shark in Hawaii biting that fisherman's canoe and the shark in the Red Sea that ate the Russian ex-pat off the coast of an Egyptian resort.

All 4 of those seem like they're either dead or will be dead in exactly 60 hours. None of them seem like they end up alive. Remembering all the way back to a couple weeks ago when that kid jumped off the dinner cruise boat for....reasons......finding somebody or something in the ocean is impossible, and gets impossibler exponentially as time passes.

The descent is four hours. They lost communication at two. My guess is the pressure halfway down either collapsed the sub like an aluminum can or popped hatches which depressurized the cabin and collapsed their heads and lungs like aluminum cans as the water rushed in. I'd be shocked if they weren't dead at the two hour mark.

Yeah, oceans are vast fucking expanses of darkness. Malaysian Air Flight 370 still hasn’t been found after 9 years of the most expensive and exhaustive search in history. Hell, the Titanic itself wasn’t located for over 70 years. I remember when it was found in 1985, it was on the cover of every magazine on the newsstand.

The flaw in this theory is that Harrison Ford crashes a plane every three or four years and walks away from it.

But of course, he's also Harrison Motherfucking Ford.

I would hope for an instant death. Everything else sounds like a miserable hell to endure.

This one still blows my mind. A whole ass plane disappeared in today’s modern age. The earth/ocean is massive.

Right? Like you can't put a $29 Apple AirTag in the black box?

Between Air Force One, the Millennium Falcon and Indiana Jones, no man in history is better equipped to handle mid flight problems more than Harrison Ford
