Default Terror as Titanic Tourists Trapped in Tiny Titan

It’s on the front page of every news site.

You hope they find them or that whatever happened—happened quickly.

Wild to see some of the forces they are dealing with put into perspective.

Hopefully they are just bobbing around in the ocean like a cork, but if the inevitable happened, I have been told that implosions are almost instant, granted that could change based on the structure they were in slowly leaking and the occupants drown instead of imploding.

Hopefully they are found.

Hopefully they find them quick, only 96 hours worth of oxygen. Horrible way to go out if they cant get to them in time.

Titanic tourists sink in submarine: whole world waits, watches, and prays as world navies come together in solidarity and friendship spare no expense to find them......

Meanwhile.....

Hundreds of illegal migrants sink and drown daily in overcrowded unseaworthy boats searching for a new life: Hope you can swim, losers

Sounds like something out of a Dirk Pitt novel.

They have only 3 days of o2 in the vessel. Time is ticking.

Well duh because the people on the Sub can afford 250K to do this so they HAVE to be more important, right?

It is not possible for me to care any less about what happens with the submarine.
On a human level the possible loss of life is sad but no interest if they are found or not, dead or alive.

On another note, why are people so obsessed with the Titanic? There’s been multiple documentaries, movies, and pictures recorded. At this point, most of it has to be destroyed by the water…so what is the point of going to see it? Just let it be.

I wouldn’t pay $10 to go down there, let alone 250,000k.

Hope they find the tourists though!

Is that 3 days of oxygen for the submarine no matter how many people are on board, or could it last longer if fewer people were breathing?

Apparently you didn't go to Target and/or Walmart during Covid.
