How can they know the status of the audio guide without a current data link to the sub (which it sounds like they didn't have in the first place)? e: was there even an audio guide? I thought it was just the CEO's Spotify playlist When I checked this person had not cited the source so perhaps I am missing some context.

Discussion Quorum posted:I have trouble with this one. I just can't believe they didn't include some form of emergency rations in the form of water or food in case I don't know, something like this might happen. "In the event of an emergency, your survival kit consists of Celine Dion, a PlayStation controller, a toilet, and a porthole. You will not be provided with granola bars or those little airline bottles of water."

Dying quickly due to an implosion is far preferable to dying slowing as your oxygen depletes while Celine Dion plays on repeat.

Strange updates in the Oceangate submarine debacle coming out of a CINCLANT briefing this morning. Apparently due to the high level nature of one of the passengers on board, a SEAL team has been dispatched to assist US Search and Rescue with the efforts. The closest nearby vessel with capability to search that depth of ~4,000m was a privately owned experimental underwater drilling platform, which the SEALS had, as of yesterday, been ferried to. Their update today was that during the initial search of the Titanic resting site using underwater single-person subs and underwater drones they experienced what they could only describe as, “an abrupt loss of all power and electrical function.” They reported what appeared to be several unexpected, fast moving, small “craft or unidentified objects” within the Titanic hull. Unclear if these are possibly Russian drones, or something else entirely. Following one of these drones led to the team nearly losing the entire drilling platform off the edge of a nearby deepwater trench. They were confident the missing sub might lie at the bottom. However, sonar and electro-optical imagery of this has uncovered what they can only describe as a “brightly lit massive underwater structure.” This object lies at a depth far beyond their submersible capabilities and they now report plans to utilize a liquid based oxygen-carrying rebreather system(?) to send one man down the trench to search further and possibly make contact with the missing crew. Efforts continue and CINCLANT is confident they should have more updates tomorrow…
