Don't those subs always have support vessels at the surface? I'm confused on how they lost the damn thing.Those people are assuredly dead at that depth of like almost 3 miles their blood would become toxic and the lungs would probably explode from not decompressing the sub. they probably all would have gone into organ failure and cardiac arrest I need the tmmac doctors to give an opinion im just throwing out wild theories. @Splinty@SC MMA MD They probably would have eventually gotten hypothermia too. Assuming they somehow made it to the surface they would have no drinkable water and probably get dehydrated.
If the vessel's walls broke at that depth they wouldn't have drowned. They would have been instantly crushed by the force of the water. And it would have happened so fast they probably didn't know it.
That's honestly the best case scenario if we are dealing with a mechanical failure of some sort.
I am not at all familiar with the particulars of this sub, nor am I well versed in the physiology of being in a submarine.Those people are assuredly dead at that depth of like almost 3 miles their blood would become toxic and the lungs would probably explode from not decompressing the sub. they probably all would have gone into organ failure and cardiac arrest I need the tmmac doctors to give an opinion im just throwing out wild theories. @Splinty
Having said that, I believe that the atmospheric pressure inside submarines is essentially sea-level normal as they rely on the mechanical rigidity of the hull to resist the crushing water pressure, so as long as the CO2 scrubbers are working and they have O2 supply blood toxicity or compression/decompression issues should not be a problem.
If their life support systems are not functioning, then suffocation and hypothermia would be significant risks.
It seems like the experts are focused on how much O2 they would have left, so I am assuming that is the most pressing issue.
The occupants are going to be dead.
I personally have not heard an update believe it or not.
Even if they were to locate the vessel with deep water cameras,robot or sonar,they do not have a rescue vessel that's capable of carrying the vessel back to shore.

My thoughts are that it's a catastrophic slow leak resulting in drowning.
I am not aware of the force that deep water pressure delivers.
At the depth they are at (2.5 miles), any leak would be catastrophic and would lead to an instantaneous implosion in less than a second.
Basically - if a small amount of water can get in...it's all getting in. And it's getting in now. In the blink of an eye.

Military subs dont even go down to 13,000 ft and I think most folks who aren't elite divers can only go down to 130 ft.
There has been a diver that went down a mile IIRC.
The vessel is equipped with a device that automatically brings the vessel back to the surface even if the occupants are incapacitated.
Obviously it's a mechanical failure.
I think this mechanical failure was due to structual failure.
Similar like the O'rings in the space shuttle.They just gave out.

Yup. These expedition subs are specialized to go as deep as they do (this one is at 13,000 ft +/-). That's why the military can't really help them all that much other than maybe finding it via sonar.Military subs dont even go down to 13,000 ft and I think most folks who aren't elite divers can only go down to 130 ft.
If it's hung up on something, they're fucked.
Google says the record for a scuba dive is a little over 1000 ft.
A mile is 5280 ft.
This sub is way, way way fucking down there. Roughly 10,000 feet below military sub capabilities.
1090 feet and he had to train for four years
332.35 meters
Deepest Scuba Dive – Male
PADI® Instructor Ahmed Gabr holds the world record for deepest scuba dive. Gabr trained for four years before the attempt, which culminated in a dive to 332.35 meters (1090 feet)
That would be an atmospheric suit. But I doubt they're good to a mile depth. I could be wrong.
I thought I seen the picture in the Guiness book of world records in my 20's.
*Not the picture shown.
I think I remember watching some movie where a dude inhaled a liquid into his lungs and breathed that way instead of using air. Like when we were still in our momma's bellies.
It let him dive deeper because his lung wouldn't collapse.

This motherfucker wasn't "swimming" anywhere. Haha.
Reminds me of that movie with DeNiro and Rod Tidwell.
