Hope for the Sub ?

[Brigadier]

the idea was to use stuff I already had and avoid getting wet.

There are waterproof cable based options available. I just naively thought the WiFi would work for 3m.

My Garmin watch's GPS is blocked by mere inches of water (which is why it can't track breaststroke swimming).

Pointless abuse

No pockets in shrouds.

way back in the day of sail if you were on a life boat in the sea and short of food or what ever

They would bump off a fellow crew member and eat them

Cabin boys were the preferred choice ???

Nowadays we call seastart

Apparently mechanical issues plagued this sub

It was also lost for several hours last summer ?

People pay about 200 grand to go down in it

It’s hardly complicated. It doesn’t even need to float.

Not the first time "nosh" and "cabin boy" appeared in the same breath, I'd expect

Indeed. Not to mention the fact that the crew on board the support vessel didn't report the submersible missing for 8 hours!!

Really hope they don't find the vessel in these 8hours post 11am GMT tomorrow.

I see the French ROV is on the scene, even if they do find the Titan it won't be able to lift it to the surface only potentially free it from debris at best. As stated earlier the team will need to be pre planned for any eventuality, therefore in an ideal scenario the ROV which has located the vessel is also towing a lifting cable, what are the chances of that...

Down to about 15hrs at a rough estimation already.

KISS. Works every time.

No, not even most of the time. Often, we can only simplify things when all the complicated stuff has been thrashed out before hand.

It's a bit like big game hunters getting trampled by an elephant isn't it?

Not really, they were not trying to kill their objective

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

What if they were hunting for lions and were trampled by an elephant?

One of them probably has a pattern about to expire.

I don't want to be like you. Whether money is involved, or not
