the Logitech F710 is a solid controller to get if you’re on a tight budget, but perhaps not exactly the type of equipment you want to stake your life on. […] Reviewers on sites like Amazon frequently mention issues with the wireless device’s connection.
The reporter, who followed an expedition of the Titan from the launch ship, wrote that “it seems like this submersible has elements of MacGyver jerry-riggedness.”
Floating on the surface is only barely better than stranded deep underwater, there’s no hatch for them to open so they’ll still be limited by oxygen and there’s no locator beacon that might help rescuers find them.
Well the sub can’t be opened from the inside, so if they’re floating on the surface they’ll still run out of air if not found. And people really underestimate how hard it is to find small craft in the ocean. You’re looking for a needle in a haystack, with the added twist that the ocean currents move stuff around so the search area grows

I hope the best for them as well, but even if they make it to the surface, they can still suffocate because they’re bolted in from the outside.
Personally I think the best case scenario is for it to have imploded and they all died instantly. Any other option seems like torture to me.

No locator beacon?? Like… why the hell not??? Was this whole thing an exercise in seeing how stupid they could be?

Yeah I think they mentioned it was the area the size of Connecticut…
That’s my fear in this case, and it can be occurring at the surface or down below - not sure which is worse.
