On why the missing vessel has not yet been located We really have no idea. I mean, the waves are six feet high. It's all whitecaps. The sub itself is white.

The more i read about this the dumber it gets.

At least there are failsafes to bring it back up. If it wasn't too deep if i understand correctly

I'm not sure which of all the potential scenarios they could be in are the worst.

Floating on the surface, seeing the hope of survival through the window whilst being able to do nothing about it; trapped on the ocean floor being able to see nothing but each breath; or the sinister creaking that forewarns sudden breach and implosion.

I'm just going to tell myself they've all turned pirate and made for the Carribbean. No tragedy here! No sireeee.

One thing that struck me as really odd though. With all the safety mechanism in place to get the thing back to the surface and they paint it fucking white? That thing should be neon yellow or something.

Also, wouldn't they run out of oxygen relatively soon? I guess they expect the sub to be found quickly after resurfacing. Real nightmare stuff....
