  1. Well we will know at 12-08 bst tomorrow this is the timethe oxygen supply will end according US coastguard projects.
  2. They only have hours before their Air runs out they still have not located it let alone mount a rescue to bring it up.
  3. if its just a Comms issue power would still be able to resurface the craft. yet it still has not surfaced so it must have lost all elecricle systems resulting in it settling on the seabed. It is reported knocking has been heard from Sonar buoys dropped by a Canadian search plane. Just been watching TV news and the question was asked why is the hatch bolted down from above frigtening resonse is, the first thing someone will do is panic if there trapped in anything with a door the ist thing they will do is go for a hatch thinking they can escape.
  4. Firstly Titanic is sat at 4,000 mtrs aprox 13,000 ft my mistake. The Sub is a composite material so Tug is correct it will be hard to find on Sonar. So far all attempts trying to find it being air, Sonar, a remote controled underwater vehicle have failed to locate it. In my opinion now they will be looking for pieces of it on the seabed bearing in mind it was only 7 mtrs long. I hope i'm wrong but sadly I think its imploded.
  5. As it has not been found yet its either had a catastrophic implosian or just sittin on the seabed. All the best location devices have not located The sub. No lifting devices or brackets that a rope can be attached to raise it. The American dept that gives out safety notices only gave this " Titan " craft a cerificate for safely diving to 3 thousand metres. Titanic is two and a half miles down 12.500 mtrs. I would expect Ballard to come to the rescue attempt but times against them.
  6. A mini Sub belonging to Ocean Gate Expeditions has lost contact with its Mother ship during a dive down to the Titanic wreck. The five paying customers are trapped with two days of Air supply left. Contact was lost an hour into the dive. Titanic lies 12,500 ft on the bottom of the Atlantic a two n a half hour trip to the wreck site. No conventional Submarine can dive that deep without imploding due to the pressure at those kinds of depths and only specialist unmanned subs can be used to explore these depths. Even a DSRV can not be used. Sadly the people are trapped will most likely run out of Oxygen before a rescue can be attempted.
  7. Well Well Well here go again Agoda wading in asking how will Thailand attracting Tourist's. Maybe Agoda should be asking the TOT why there not attracting the millions they keep predicting will be coming. Maybe ask why do they make it difficult for a long staying tourists to leave to do a visa run, would it not be better to give them a six month visa, Will they give discounts to domestic airlines to lure more tourists, will they treat there tourists as guests with respect and curtersy and send them home happy to spread the word what a lovely holiday they had instead of them returning saying never again. Will they tell the tourism industry to stop the scamming and offer incentives to lure more Tourists. Im no hotel boss in Phuket or Koh Samui but if my hotel opened up once Covid was over id reduce prices pre Covid to fill the hotel. What did the majority of hotels do? doubled the prices Suicide. To end the TOT decided to ignore the bread n butter western tourists mainly Europeans in favour of high end Chinese, Indian , even Saudi tourists. This has not and will not happen what do they have now in Phuket and Patayya? mostly draft dodging Russians. Well done.
  8. Mmm how to attract more tourists? Well let's start with a tourist posting a trip report on a hotel or a restaurant about the poor service and how it was defended by that establishment.
