Of course but why did it lose contact? Tech failure with the USBL? But then something else went wrong, presumably at the same time? So is it a power issue? What's most likely?
You would think that the sub has some kind of pinging device, like airplanes have on their black boxes so that the black boxes can be found even on the bottom of the ocean.
I think that finding the sub isn't the biggest problem. It's rescuing the people inside. Does anyone know if they usually bring a second deep sea sub on the ship as a backup?
They’re f***ed. Even if they find where they are, no way they can do anything to get it back up. That has to be a miserable way to die. If I were them, I’d pray the heating broke and we just froze to death rather than having to wait 4 days until the oxygen ran out
British Billionaire among those about to die. Does he know something about the Clintons?
I don't usually think there's anything in these kind of things, but, if you're thinking along those lines I'd look more at Shahzada Dawood who is the vice chairman of a very large company in Pakistan. But more likely, the whole thing is a coincidence.
It appears that most of the news sources were wrong. Apparently the communications system goes down often if this previous passenger is talking accurately:
Mike Reiss, a US television writer, revealed he attended three separate dives including one to the Titanic and confessed each they "lost communication" during the trip
Surely it has a towbar, just pull it back up with a nuclear sub.
Military subs don't go more than 300 meters beneath the surface. Maximum depth a nuclear sub has ever been designed for is 1000 meters
If the vessel is on the seabed near the Titanic it's possible it's nearly 4000 meters below the surface. Only research vessels can go that deep and they are not usually equipped with rescue gear.
Meanwhile in the Med there are still five hundred missing from the boat that capsized there - perhaps the Titanic rescue team could stop off there first? I don't think any of them were millionaires though.
Pretty much this. Would definitely be a pretty awful way to die, waiting around for hours to slowly suffocate. They will all find out what everyone is made of; nowhere to hide.
It appears that most of the news sources were wrong. Apparently the communications system goes down often if this previous passenger is talking accurately:
The communication system has gone down before for a few hours. This time the communication system has been down for something like 24 hours.
The entire trip down to the Titanic and back up is supposed to be a total of only 10 hours. If it was only a communication problem and the rest of the sub was fine, they would have surfaced by now.
