In the mean time uk firm Magelan who have a craft capeable of working at a depth of 5000 metres are still waiting on clearance to fly out . They are wondering why US coast guard have dragged their heals and using a craft not as good in the search

Bet if they were migrants fooking border force would have dragged them here by now.

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

Good ol' Seaman Staines, me hearties!

They're not looking for or trying to recue folk from the surface of the water.

NASA spent $millions on developing a pen that could write in the zero gravity of space . . . . . The USSR used pencils.

KISS. Works every time.

For someone who claims to have the inside info on just about everything, Dork has certainly fallen for that age old bullshoite story that’s been going around for years. I think Dork is the simple one here.

FACT CHECK: NASA's 'Astronaut Pen'

Space race legend claims NASA spent millions of dollars developing an 'astronaut pen' that would work in outer space, while the Soviets solved the same problem by simply using pencils.

So they are in charge - but dragging their 'heals' (heels)?

Make up your mind, boyo.

Coast Guard operates to 200 nautical miles. Titanic wreck - 400 nautical miles off shore.

Suggest you do a better Google search and check about the coast guards involvement in the search and good to see you can pick up on predictive text .

Oh dear all this bickering in the GD section again, won't somebody please think of the poor billionaires.

 

[Odds]

I don't think their wealth is relevant to the terrible fate facing them by the end of this day. Dying slowly, entombed in total darkness is not a way anyone would choose to shuffle off this mortal coil. I'm sure the great-great granddaughter of a chap who drowned on the Titanic with his wife wouldn't appreciate the irony.
The rescuers are trying to instil a sliver of hope by saying the oxygen may last longer if those trapped on board can conserve their supply but even then, they still need to locate the precise position, winch down the 20,000' long cable, weld it to the sub', then winch it back up.
Mission: Impossible.
