I’m not sure which of all the potential scenarios they could be in are the worst.
Floating on the surface, seeing the hope of survival through the window whilst being able to do nothing about it; trapped on the ocean floor being able to see nothing but each breath; or the sinister creaking that forewarns sudden breach and implosion.
I’m just going to tell myself they’ve all turned pirate and made for the Carribbean. No tragedy here! No sireeee.
Every scenario sounds absolutely awful. You generally aren’t in a situation too many times in your life where there are no options for the predicament you’re in.
I like the scenario you laid out. I have no idea what five humans who are out of options will do when they’ve accepted no help is coming. I don’t mean this as a joke, but that is an extremely dark place, both physically and mentally, that I hope I never experience.
Knowing you have about 12-15hours left. And the owner of the company is on board.
I mean even if they find it NOW, is that even enough time to bring it up? The whole process with depressurization is quite slow, they would have to get oxygen supply down there. Not even talking about the means required to get down there.
Edit: The failsaves should have apprently brought it up to the surface. Even if the crew is passed out.
I hear that pressurization isn’t a problem since the sub itself is at a normal (atmospheric?) pressure, unlike a diving suit.
Hearing about how many fail-safes the sub had, including one that would go off even if everyone was passed out, yet there is still no sign of them. I can’t help but think it was either destroyed on the way down or got stuck on something. I also think the decision to paint the sub white was a huge unforced error. There is also a chance that they DID make it, we just haven’t seen them.
One thing that struck me as really odd though. With all the safety mechanism in place to get the thing back to the surface and they paint it fucking white? That thing should be neon yellow or something.
Also, wouldn’t they run out of oxygen relatively soon? I guess they expect the sub to be found quickly after resurfacing. Real nightmare stuff…

Marketing probably thought white looked cooler
