Comments by "Sean" (@sean2015) on "Missing sub near Titanic has less than 24 hours of air left | Morning in America" video.
@V4demon_ yes that’s true. With no GPS or sonar radar, they have to rely on constant guidance and step-by-step commands from the mother ship (eg- ”Go straight ahead about 50 meters, okay now take a left, you’re right there” ). Bear in mind it’s pitch-black down there and although the Titan has both interior and exterior lights they have to be shut off frequently to conserve electrical power. Also the vessel’s crush depth is just a hair over 13,000 feet and the Titanic wreckage lies at 12,500, which is flirting dangerously close to the limits of the vessel’s structural integrity (for example they could land on the ocean floor miles from the actual wreckage site and wind up in some underwater canyon at an even greater depth and there goes the whole ballgame) This whole expedition was such a crazy and stupid idea from the very beginning.

Reports say communications were lost 1 hour 45 minutes after they launched early Sunday morning. A descent to the Titanic wreckage normally takes 2-2 ½ hours. This suggests they descended into the depths too fast and crash landed, either becoming entangled in the Titanic wreckage or stuck in the mud on the ocean floor. I believe they’re still alive. We’ll never get them out though, there’s just not enough time.

@itsmissmimi4044 supposedly the US Navy has the maritime equivalent of tow cables but they’re kidding themselves. My gut is telling me that they descended too fast into the depths and crash landed into the ocean floor, becoming stuck in the muddy bottom. The only idea I can think of (which is a long shot, and of course only if they locate it) would be sending a remote powered vehicle down there to give it a good hard PUSH to free it and let it float by itself to the surface. Even if it risks damaging itself or the Titan in the process, at this point they have to roll the dice and go for broke.
