A search is underway for a missing submersible that carries people to view the wreckage of the Titanic. Canadian officials say the five-person submersible was reported overdue Sunday night about 435 miles (700 kilometers) south of St. John's, Newfoundland and that the search is being led by the U.S. Coast Guard. The owner of the ship that launched the submersible confirmed that it was operated by OceanGate Expeditions, which has been operating annual voyages since 2021 to the wreckage of the iconic ocean liner. In a statement, the company said it is working to bring the crew back safely.
You definitely wouldn’t.
But what about if you made it to the surface in an emergency? I’d probably want to open it at that point.
Someone mentioned how the sub reminds them of Apollo 1 and I tend to agree. So many poor choices were made!
I particularly like the part where this specific submersible can’t ever be opened from the inside, because it gets bolted shut from outside.
You wouldn’t want to open it down there, but also I don’t know why anyone would want to be down there in the first place.
