For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires’ son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).
They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They’ve been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they’ll make it?
What a horrible way to go. Hopefully rescuers succeed.
That being said, judging by the photo, if they are still viewing everything through a screen, what was the point going down with the submarine and not just sending a robot with a video feed?
I’m pretty sure this picture is taken from outside the viewport judging form the vignetting around the photo
I know this comment is old so you may already know, but there was no viewport. May not be able to install one to withstand the pressure at those depths. They all had to watch what they were swimming around via that screen.
Are you sure? I’m sure they have to navigate with the screens but equally sure there’s a porthole on the bolted “door”
