The scenario is just as bleak even if it has surfaced somewhere, since the "Titan" only opens from the outside-in and not from the inside-out, since diving to such great depths requires it to be completely hermetic.
It takes about two hours to dive to where the Titanic rests, almost 4 km below the surface of the ocean in the North Atlantic. At approximately 9:00 a.m. on June 18, the Submarine Titan, a five-person vessel built and operated by OceanGate, began its final dive.
As of 2021, the company has been touring the ruins (as part of a ten-day trip costing $250,000); has done the descent many times before.
This time, an hour and 45 minutes after the submarine submerged, the support vessel lost contact with it. Five people were on board, including Hamish Harding, a British billionaire, and Stockton Rush, the boss of OceanGate, who regularly pilots the submarine.
An international rescue mission is currently underway. The submarine had enough oxygen on board to last until 9 a.m. on June 22.
The best-case scenario is that the loss of communication with the support ship triggered one of the many systems to force the Titan back to the surface, such as releasing sandbags to reduce weight or inflating airbags.
If this happened, the submarine would already be on the surface of the ocean, waiting to be found. So far, the US and Canadian coast guards have found nothing, despite a massive search across a vast expanse of ocean.
Other scenarios are bleak.
The Titan may have once ruptured, taking in water, a hole, which would have caused the submarine to crush like a can, killing the passengers instantly.
Another possible scenario is being stuck in the depths or on the wreckage of the Titanic, unable to break free to surface.
This would be a worse fate for passengers than being crushed by water pressure.
The submarine was on its way to the bottom of the sea when communication was lost. It is about a depth of several thousand meters.
Valët elektromagnetike nuk udhëtojnë lehtësisht nëpër ujë, që do të thotë se asnjë metodë komunikimi përveç sonarit të prishur në bord nuk është e mundur.
Dhe edhe nëse nëndetësja do të gjendej përmes lëshimit të sinjaleve sonar nga sipërfaqja me qëllim pritjen e reflektimit të zërit nga mjeti, është e pamundur rikthimi i saj në sipërfaqe pa patur një mjet tjetër zhytjeje aq të aftë për të shkuar në atë thellësi.
Megjithatë, në zonë janë duke kërkuar disa robotë që mund të arrijnë thellësinë e kërkuar, por tashmë sfida qendron te sasia e oksigjenit, e cila me gjasë ka mbaruar në brendësi të nëndetëses së vogël.
Kjo vlen edhe nëse ekspertët e dinë fiks ku është “Titan” dhe të çojnë atjë poshtë robotin, i cili do të lidhte një kabëll për ta tërhequr lartë.
The scenario is just as bleak even if it has surfaced somewhere, since the "Titan" only opens from the outside-in and not from the inside-out, since diving to such great depths requires it to be completely hermetic.
Consequently, even if it is on the surface and does not open, running out of oxygen will be fatal for the passengers./ Taken from The Economist
