To be fair on the controller thing the US Navy uses 360 controllers on their subs; https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/navy-xbox-controllers-attack-submarines/

If it works and it's cheaper than some 5 billion dollar controller built by raytheon in 49 states I'm all for it.

How is this supposed to surface after it sinks normally? It kinda sounds like it can't surface on it's own and relies on that platform thing so if you lose thrust, or possible even if you just lose one thruster, you're SOL. Don't most submersibles like have some kind of ballast tanks to blow or weights to detach so they can surface quickly?

Having a separate platform thing you need to dock to feels like a very unnecessary thing that creates an extra fail point in the whole process.

Has anyone contacted Billy Zane yet? I feel like he can muster up some sort of survival plan.

Nooo, it’s not because he was in Titanic, I just really think Billy Zane could get the job done.

My dumb theory:

They got to the correct depth fine and started scootin around the titanic as planned.
The electrical system failed, leaving them without propulsion, communication, and lights.
Because of the above they could not dock with the recovery platform thing and are kinda just stuck at the bottom of the ocean.

This could have been solved by just not having a loving recovery platform it needs to dock with and just giving the thing it's own way to surface, ideally any control of this is either directly mechanical or has some kind of redundant back up power, because not being able to surface is bad.

Even if it turns out that the pressure vessel failed, having a separate platform the vessel needs in order to surface is the dumbest poo poo ever.

No good way to go, either. Crushed to death in an implosion, suffocated due to lack of air, or drowned.

Supposedly they use Starlink to communicate with the craft, so there's no chance they're getting out alive.

Crushed to death would by far be the best option, it that depth if there was a structural failure they would be dead before they realize something was wrong, like, dead, dead, like literally turned into paste in a fraction of a second.

Implosion would kill you so fast you wouldn't realise. I'd rather that than suffocating on farts for four days in a cramped tube.

IDK, instantly crushed to death with no warning sounds like a pretty great way to go in general.

They might have split up or they might have capsized. They may have broke deep and took water.
