Even if they located the sub right this instant, it's probably too late to rescue it. Not sure that "probably" belongs in that sentence.- YouTube

Even if the men were alive a rescue seems impossible at that depth.
Not at all. I saw the movie, but didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn last night. Still don’t think it’s apples to apples if the iceberg was the main cause.Sounds like you're not familiar with the coal fire the Titanic had before its final voyage that damaged the hull right where the iceberg hit. There were calls to fix the damage before another voyage that went unheeded.Not really. Titanic hit an iceberg. This sub was duck taped together and apparently had stuff rated for 1/3 the depth. No iceberg and the Titanic doesn’t have an issue and Leo doesn’t die.I feel like the people getting on board this thing probly should've seen the parallels with the original Titanic voyage......crazyAfter reading that, I'm going to assume it was a catastrophic failure. Viewport certified to less than half the depth they were going, and the concerns of the carbon fiber hull potentially tearing and not being fully tested out.

Court documents reveal a former OceanGate employee had several safety complaints over the tourist submersible—and then he was fired.

Oy
Quality wise, probably really really different. Seems like from the article about Cameron that there was no worry about the craft itself just external issues. Like my Titanic reply above, I don’t think the boat was going to burst and sink at any point without the iceberg. Cameron wasn’t worried about his viewing window not being rated for that depth or the hull rupturing or his his GameCube not booting up.What type? A jet ski?People have been down to the Titanic many times before. Just not in this type of craftWith all the technology we currently have and all the smart people here on planet Earth, you would think we would be able to get to the deepest of seas with relative ease by now.
I say we stop farting around with space trips and focus on stuff like this. Maybe someday build a city like that Mexican guy from Black Panther?
I mean how much really different are we talking?

I know everyone is hung up on the image of these folks trapped alive on the sea floor -- so am I. But the people I've seen who seem to know what they're talking about all seem to agree to "instantaneous implosion" is still the most likely thing that happened. I don't think that's just wishful thinking. This craft had lots of ways to catastrophically fail.

Would be a mercy if it imploded.
Talked to someone who talks to someones in this field earlier this week and they suggested...
7/8 implosion, already dead
1/8 other problem, already dead
1/500 still alive

That's enough for this one. Mods just finished deleting a bunch of gross posts with people joking or doing the macabre speculation or mocking the guy for "getting what he was due". People very likely / certainly lost their lives. Including a 19 year old along with his father.
