   How exactly are they stuck? Couldn't they just send another sub with a spare controller and drive it back up? Also, if you're gonna do something as stupid as have your sub be controlled with a shitty Chinese gaming controller, why not have a couple extra ones in there, just incase one of them stops working?

     @Elliptica @mushroom_soup @worldisrotting "Don't know where they are at".
     
     Did this billionaire retard not spring the extra cash for a submarine transponder or an emergency signal buoy or something? That's like climbing mountains and not bringing a long range radio or sat phone.

     @mushroom_soup @worldisrotting They don't even know where they are at, so they can't just send a sub to find them. Even if you find the sub, it will be very hard to actually reach it and rescue it or recover them. There are not a lot, if any, rescue subs waiting on standby, ready for a situation like this. Even if they could open the thing, they'd almost certainly die instantly.
     
     Assuming the thing didn't implode, it will have to be wenched up to the surface. So with the time they have left, they need to locate the sub, attach ropes to it, and then wench it to the surface. Honestly, even if they are still alive, at this point they are already dead.

     @worldisrotting we don’t know, we literally have no contact with them. for all we know they got lost (this has apparently happened before) and have surfaced somewhere random…and because they painted the thing grey and blue instead of safety orange no one can see the fucking thing on the surface…and because they can’t open it from the inside they’re stuck inside

     @rlier23 @mushroom_soup @worldisrotting yeah, but we are clearly talking about not-so-bright people here, judging by all their other decisions, including this one:

     @worldisrotting @mushroom_soup they could've also had a drill or something similar inside to at least make a few holes if they do get back to the surface on their own

     @rlier23 @mushroom_soup @worldisrotting incidentaly, after someone mentioned the Nutty Putty Cave, I went to look at it, and now I'm watching a video about "cave spelunking gone wrong".
     
     I saw the first 3 cases so far, and only one of them ended in tragedy. The two that didn't had well prepared crews with all the necessary equipment, and not a bunch of soft-boned millionaires with no safety equipment at all
     
     https://invidious.varishangout.net/watch?v=S6BotqF2pfM
     
     The case that ended in tragedy is actually sad, it was an amateur spelunker who used to go on treks and cave diving and shit like that, then he bit more than he could chew, and got stuck alone on the depths of a cave, and his equipment was not suited for his climb up, so he was there fruitlesly trying to climb back until cold/dehydration/whatever took him. His body was found months later by another expedition.
     
     
     And that's again why I say that I wouldn't do something like that if they paid me.
     When I was a teenager I was a boy scout, and we made treks through the wilderness and rappel down falls, but:
     1 - we were on a group
     2 - we had every safety precaution ever, including a satelite phone to call for help if needed
     3 - we never did any kind of "extreme rappel" going down a 500 feet shaft or any shit like that, the most we ever did was rappeling down a couple of falls that were in a regular trek, and the highest one was, like, 30 feet tall
     4 - no fucking diving head first inside a fucking hole in the ground barely the size of our shoulders, ever

     @rlier23 @mushroom_soup @worldisrotting I think they had to cut costs, since there was not enough funding, and the tickets to join the expedition are too cheap.
