How desperate is that?

Going to be very Partridge.

'So we have Dr Phillips with us. What WILL it be like to be in pitch darkness, freezing cold in a cramped environment knowing you're slowly running out of oxygen? How will they be coping and passing the time?'

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Not looking at all good really is it.

From the BBC
We heard earlier from Dr Ken Ledez - a hyperbaric medicine expert - about what could happen as oxygen supplies on the Titan dwindle - you can watch him talking about it by clicking on the play button above.
He says that running out of air isn’t the only danger now.
The vessel may have also lost electrical power, which plays a pivotal role in controlling oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
As oxygen levels fall, the proportion of carbon dioxide being breathed out by those inside will rise, causing potentially fatal consequences.
"As levels of carbon dioxide build up, then it becomes sedative, it becomes like an anaesthetic gas, and you will go to sleep,"

Well I would rather "fall to sleep" than screaming and banging that is for certain.

"Also joining us is relationship specialist Dr Lydia Harvey. Dr Lydia, what will the families be going through right now? It must be very difficult for them, waiting for any news..."

There’s some incredible insight out there…

5 aboard missing Titanic-bound sub likely experiencing ‘very uncomfortable, dark experience’

The record-breaking depth and remoteness of the location are making the search particularly challenging.

Titanic sub crew likely experiencing ‘mood swings,’ ex-Navy psychologist says

The five people aboard the missing Titanic submersible are likely going through “significant mood swings” as their oxygen supply runs out, according to a former US Navy psychologist.

The media coverage is a paradigm of how media works. I listened to yesterday's news conference and it was little more than fishing for a soundbite, but with a few journos seemingly fishing for something they could use later as part of the process of speculative recrimination and baleful after timing. "They should have got them out, so why did they fail?", sort of thing. I won't be listening to today's prezza. RIP.

I'm guessing he's also the NY Post's 'bears excrement' expert.
As well as their go to reporter for the religious status of the Pope.

Not my nature.
I'll stand still please.
I'm now at my happiest when static.

Static is good.

 

[Wozza]

Not looking good is it? I know - it hasn't for a few days.

Can't help thinking about the father and son. Hope they died instantly.

 

[macbeth]

if they hadn’t passed away already , the sub would now be officially out of oxygen

I used to like Blink 182 and could associate with their lyrics about teenage angst but generally having a bit of a laugh with no responsibilities. I would quite like to see how 3 blokes in their late 40s style out songs with those lyrics.

Not so sure it was about teenage angst.

What's My Age Again was for all the Gen X in their 20s.

Nobody likes you when you're 23.

Without wanting to sound macabre, the Oxygen situation isnt the definitive line in the sand that press make it "5 hours of Oxygen left" etc.

It isnt on, then suddenly off, it will be a deterioriating linear line after full supply dwindles, similar in many ways to hypoxia from climbing a big mountain like Everest, it gets harder and harder, it isn't normal breathing one minute then no breathng the next.

That said, and as awful as it is, it still could be the case in 48 hours from now, some survive and others dont, physiology and individual health factors make a big difference in any hypoxia event.

It will be freezing down there, and shivering too will be using precious Oxygen.

We can only hope for a miracle that anyone get out alive

Notice the media calling it 'International Rescue', if only. They could do with Thunderbird 4 right now.

I absolutely hate the way these 'news' items are reported on. It's nothing short of voyeurism excused as 'human interest' journalism. By all means report that the submarine is missing, then give an update when the search ends. Everything in between is just unnecessary, imo.

Certainly to locate it, but would the tiny yellow submersible be powerful enough to raise the lost sub?

I reckon Brains would know a way

Huge apologies but I've been catching the story in bits. I heard this morning one 'expert' saying they thought the sub might be caught up in the wreckage of the Titanic.

I assume, by the fact they 'search' is widening that means they have already visited the site of the wreckage and can't locate it?

Am I being thick?

Radio was saying this morning that a french ROV with robotic arms was making its way down to the wreck and does have the ability to move things about the place. Not sure if it's got there or still heading down.

Steer clear of the news on this. It's just an opportunity for twats to do 'look at me' pieces.

I was reading that there are something like seven different failsafes in operation to both get the sub to the surface and to keep comms going. If there's been no sign of the sub having reached the surface, and they seem to have checked a vast area, and there's been no communications received, it is perhaps a reasonable educated guess to suggest that perhaps there might have been a structural failing which has resulted in the whole thing imploding and perhaps instant death for those on board. As awful an outcome as that would be, I'd suggest it is better than the alternative of thinking about them having been trapped on the ocean floor slowly running out of oxygen.
