Time is a flat circle

cDubya or other resident sub experts.  This probably won't have a good outcome right?

They've been missing far too long. Likelihood of survival is quite slim.

expert on this mornings new cycle said that they *may* have 1-3 more days.    But yeah, even if they found them, the chances of being able to reach them in time are slim.

That would be a horrible way to die.

[pissclams]

argentina shouldn’t even be allowed to have submarines

Oxygen deprivation. Sleepy town.

I wonder why they don’t swim out from an escape hatch...yes- sharks are a concern but it’s not like they can eat all of the submariners

[Mikeyis4dcats]

I'm a little surprised they are having difficulty locating it.   It seems they should have had a position from the mayday and the destination, and within a few hundred square miles have a box.     Unless there was something catastrophic and they all died, I'd imagine they have been beating on the hull and making as much noise as possible for underwater detection.

You don't wanna know what happens before you have to do that. Id rather die of oxygen deprivation...

if they are deep they would basically explode when surfacing

It's not like they're scuba diving. They're in a pressurized container. I don't think they would get a serious case of the bends. It's more about being able to reach the surface and not freezing to death or drowning during the ascent.

Mandy Moore taught me all I need to know about this lil situation.

They were probably getting ready to make another run at the Falkland Islands.

and depending on depth, the pressure.  more than about 100 ft and you have serious physical issues

Thats where the icepick comes in...

The water pressure is really the least of the problems. They train to escape from about 100m down but that is extremely shallow for the ocean. Much deeper and you're gonna have trouble getting back to the surface before you drown.

probably an air thing or two on the submarine that they could use to help with the issues of air

sharks, yes- I don’t think that there are other oceanic predators that they would deal with other than the shark

could even use the air deals to fend off the sharks however it’d be tough because you have 40 men and women who also need breathe/O2.  although if the O2 is concentrated enough it may last longer

from hatch to surface with concentrated O2 thing should take roughly 35 seconds.  multiply that by 40 and you’re at ~25 minutes give or take to account for hatch issues

What about jellyfish

I thought they were only on or near the surface? and a jelly fish sting is not a big deal

[IPA4Me]

If they're not already floating with their steinke hoods, they're in water that's too deep for escape. Sad deal.

Exactly. All jokes aside, never good to hear things like this. Hope they're all floating around together somewhere and found alive.

Update...

230' of water. Really surprised they didn't attempt an escape.

Praying for a successful rescue today.

apparently the heat stain thing was not it either
