What Do You Think About This Mini-Sub deal?

Thinking about them being stuck on the bottom makes me cringe.

This may be a better choice, 15 miles of water resistance 25,000 meters.

A lot more affordable to!

Thats pretty snazzy.

Stupid articles all around. Dumb questions from the reporters. "Oh my gosh, you mean the hatch is sealed shut with 17 bolts that can be only removed from the outside?" at a depth of 12,000 feet it would be moronic to open the hatch. A styrofoam coffee cup is crushed to the size of a thimble at that depth. Even the passengers Rolex's will not survive, the average Modern Submariner can only survive a depth of 300 Meters or 1,000 Feet.

Could the passengers aboard the submersible be alive? Possibly assuming the passenger compartment is still intact, however the water is very cold at that depth.

If there is the tiniest leak, the whole submersible will crush. And the folks in the way of that leak will be cut like it was a laser beam a tiny fraction of a second before the implosion. If the power just went off for some reason, bad breaker, or something like that, by now they've probably died from the cold already. And we may never know what happened. There are currents down there that can move them, or bury the remains. Space is less hostile an environment.

Thats pretty snazzy.

They have revised their specs, they had one that claimed a full 20 miles of water resistance. Watch Trivia: Only Rolex can claim to be Waterproof, they have a patent on the specification.

One thought seems to be that they got entangled with the wreckage.

They paid $250,000 per person.....

What they expect...a brass band when they came back...

For people with too much money and seek thrills....Well....you got your moneys worth this time.

Definitely a bad situation.

They paid $250,000 per person.....

I could think of so many other things to spend that on.

I could think of so many other things to spend that on.

If they could drop $250K on a three hour tour of the ocean, they probably already have all those other things.
