Ngl it’s all their fault getting in that situation in the first place, but like, there’s a possibility that they are still alive down there, slowly running out of air. Like maybe the tube fucking imploded and they all became a red mist, but they could also just be at the bottom of the ocean floor with no power.

Also, it’s very hard to think of a time when someone dying in a submarine was not funny. The confederates were the first ones to do it, their k:d with submarines is trash. Ze Germans had more success, but leave it to Ze Germans to hit a landmine in the ocean. After WW2 only the USA and USSR had submarines really, and by then they never really had to surface and were practically invincible and invisible. Of course there was a couple L’s for Amerikkka which I celebrate. And the poor the Soviet Union whose submarine deaths are not a laughing matter and I will literally block you if you make any jokes. Of course everything after 1991 until 2022 is cool to make fun of, they could put a swimming pool in a nuclear sub marine but not escape hatches. And the Americans fucking stole it, that’s an L.

Anyways you’re probably a chud if you’re in a submarine so I don’t feel bad for you.

This comment thread on reddit provided some interesting info: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/14df37k/titanic_tourist_sub_goes_missing_sparking_search/jopk7bv/

Worth a read, but long story short it’s unlikely the sub imploded because they would have heard it on the boat. Also a firsthand account of someone who had been on the sub in testing stages about questionable safety measures vs. more “professional” operations.

Scientific researchers also use submarines sometimes
