There are some things in life I am fine with never seeing in person, the Titanic being one of them; but that's just me. Thoughts and prayers for a positive outcome. I can't even imagine what the families and crew are going through 😪
We hope for a speedy recovery of all those on board the submersible. Our thoughts and support are with our friends on the OceanGate Expeditions team. We join in prayer for their safe return. 🙏
Could have very well been a pressure leak, causing an implosion. It doesn't make sense that it would go off radar, and off communications, if it was still in tact down there, snagged on something. The vessel supposedly had multiple redundancies in resurfacing like Floatation devices. So it hasn't resurfaced that we know of and isn't on radar in the location it should be. Its not there anymore, or what they are looking for isn't at least.
Thanks for all you’re doing to bring this news to us. This is horrific! I hope they can be found and saved, but their air will be running out so fast by now since they’re probably panicked inside and using the air faster than if breathing calmly. My heart goes out to them. 💔💔💔
I hope they are found unharmed 🙏 BUT if this turns out to be the worst-case scenario, i can't imagine being stuck in a tiny capsule 2 miles down in the cold pitch black, freezing conditions knowing I'm going to slowly suffocate. If it was me down there, I'd much rather have a catastrophic malfunction where it's all over before you knew anything went wrong.
That catastrophic malfunction seems to be what likely happened, as sad as it is that they are gone, I'd imagine they didn't have time to even react to what had happened to them. Even a slight pressure leak at those depths would result in an instantaneous implosion.
@ReadIcculus93 You're 100% right. If they knew anything, they didn't know it for long. Because just like you said soon as that pressure made a drastic drop it imploded like a bomb. Just think you're miles under water and all that pressure.
Not a chance. I have to say that if they are not found on the surface somewhere (and they would have been by now), then they are all dead. This submarine has no oxygen generation equipment, so even if it is intact, they will likely run out of air before a recovery can be possible. If it was some kind of mechanical failure that caused a loss of hull integrity, then at least they went quickly as they would have been crushed instantly. Bottom line is that Sub is a death trap. The Titanic is a grave site. People should leave it alone.
Heard a news report that the Titan Submersible was able to surface in 12 to 24 hours regardless of passengers being conscience so if its functioning property it should be at the surface. Dr. Michael Guillen got stuck in the Titanic propeller in the year 2000 when a strong current pulled them into the ship, so its possible they are stuck but logistics on bringing it up would be difficult I read a Navy Submarine can't go as low as a submersible. Navy sub can only go about 2,400 feet before entering the danger zone. If they are at the Titanic surface, they are 12,000 to 13,000 feet and bringing them up would be complex. A lot of variables I heard of talking on the news if there was a fire on board or entanglement. Each hour that goes by looks like a bleak outcome. Prayers,
According to several other news channels, it was 1 sole pilot with 4 paying guests for a total of 5 people. My question is what happens if the sole pilot/captain suffers a medical emergency? There's no one there on board who knows how to operate the vessel.
Reminds me of when the Russian sub went missing back in early 2000s but they were too dann secretive to let international rescue teams help until it was too late. Thinking of the families at this worring time
A few things 1] what was the dive plan? What part of the ship was to be explored? 2] If they got fouled, why no comms with the surface 3] Did they go inside of her & get fouled or did they bump into something & a section of the hull collapsed on them? If the sub's hull was breached the end would have been instantaneous & painless, but the last few seconds would have been terrifying as they would have known what was coming. [Just like the Scorpin & Thresher] 4] If the sub is unrecoverable [for whatever reasons] they will be entombed down there for all time & the only things will be brass plaques in memory of them.
@@christiegroves The hatch issue is only speculation for now [until we find it] . She has about 36-40 hours of O2 left on board . If she had any issues at 8500 [the Titanic is at 12500 ft] she would implode & the folks inside would not have felt a thing at the end. As they would have been turned into pulp in an instant at the 3771 psi water rushed in. The terror comes as they know what is coming as the sub would be creeking & groaning, & there was no power or abality to do anything to save themselves. Look up the USS Scorpin & USS Thresher
The picture of the vessel on the other channel was totally different. To me it reminded me of a huge SeaDoo or a small spacecraft with a bulbous white body and it had the company name on the side. That round barrel thing that they showed in this video looks like someone made it in their garage.
Air lock issue that fell too low initially. This is similar to when an airplane loses cabin pressure, certainly an easy simple explanation. This is like a lift raft leaving a boat at sea. RIP Titan Crew. In Greek mythology Oceanus was the only Titan who was saved by Zeus to guard the Earth or Hera=Earth. Just a tidbit there.
this reminds me of when that crew of russians in that russian submarine got stuck & stalled at the bottom of the ocean, and they hoped the MIR (similar submersible to this vessel) would be able to go down and rescue them and bring them back up. but it did not have the correct docking adapters to be able to form a water tight seal and was unable to rescue the crew. there’s a movie about it as well.
And the port to escape is bolted shut on the submersible so you’d need to pull it up first and open it afterwards… all takes time which they don’t have and equipment to lift it which is problematical at best and that’s after they have found it.

so sad this is happening, I was missing you JB, sad I see you on this occasion, I do not stay up to date with most news stories cause they are just so heartbreaking. this is too. Hope all of you are fine. Also hope the people will be found ...
There is no GPS on the sub, its controlled with a play station joy stick. The communication to the ship above is via text message. Its pathetic how this adventure is or now was
This has the unpleasant vibes of the Columbia shuttle disaster in that it is a vehicle under extreme conditions that has all of a sudden disappeared, both being situations where it would take very little to make it become immediately fatal. Once the shuttle disappeared from radar and didn't land on schedule it became certain they were lost, there was no plausible scenario in which it could have ended otherwise. While this isn't as certain as that no one has heard from it for 7 hours (they're supposed to transmit every 15 minutes to show they're okay) and it should have come up automatically by now regardless power loss. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think this is going to have a happy ending.
The colubia shuttle was farr better built with thousands of design hours, this sub has been described as being very crude and basic. I wonder if the previous journeys may have caused fatigue cracks. Or a medical emergency regards the skipper.
They painted this submersible white? Half the ocean is white on a windy day. Why not neon orange or bright red? Also, many ways to surface but no way to open the hatch? Even the NASA capsules had a way to blow the hatch if lost at sea.
@JB isn’t this the one that goes down 3000 feet? And there was like a documentary that showed one of these going down to check the titanic I believe the second trip down that they lost back in the day also and then finally found.
That place is cursed. People should not be allowed to go there, I consider it a grave site. Oxygen is not a problem, if it àt depth, it's the pressure, it would have imploded.
The ship , carrying the deep sea salvage system owned by the US Navy, is called the Horizon Arctic. It will be arriving tomorrow morning and is the only one possible to lift it up, as I understand. It arrived via US Air Force at the Newfoundland Airport late last night, was waived through customs, got a police escort to the port, and left the port early this morning. Some of the winching equipment was made by Hyundai (South Korea).
This should of never been a thing. Its too dangerous for random tourists. I bet you that sub exploded under pressure. It was lost the first time. Years back one got stuck in between the hull of the titanic. Thats 6k lb pressure per sq in at depths like that. Theres currents under water that we cant see from the surface. The ocean is its own entity. I live beachside in florida and see it every day. I love it. But you wouldnt catch me in the middle of the ocean, no less diving that far down. Even if this sub didn't explode....i know myself, I would of hyperventilated the emergency oxygen within an hour.
GPS does not work at that debth. the signel would not get there. the sub would use inerta navigation. Same with any other comms. This sub would have to have a direct link to the mother ship with a teather.
You would think the engineers and scientists already defined the requirements, developed and tested such system way before taking tourists to the sea. This is not a walk to the park. Coming from an engineer, myself.
There are 4 paying passengers on these trips each paying $250,000. So that would be $1 million per trip - just to gawk at a shipwreck. How many lives could that million dollars per trip save?
Yeah totally, if someone has money they shouldn’t spend it how they want. We should all give extra money away. People shouldn’t pay and go on vacations either. Selfish jerks.💀 shut up
If the power goes off,as long as they have air, there are two or three failsafes apparently, which allow the sub. to float back up, but it will be off course.
You have to have power to keep the inside of the submersible at the same (and safe) pressure required for survival… no power, no pressure inside and everything equalizes. Very sad.
What a horrible situation to be in. I can't imagine what these 5 people are going through. And their families, how heartbreaking. This sub is able to go 4000 feet down ... 😔 I will be lighting 5 candles tonight. 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯 May they all return safely home to their loved ones. Love and light to everyone ✨️ 💛
the sub has safety systems in place that even if they loose power it has 7 ways it can come back up to the surface so i don't man i hope their found soon
Speaking of greed, the Chinese dredged up the wrecks of the HMS Prince of Wales and the Repulse which were sunken in WW2 by the Japanese, with significant loss of life. They dug them up for scrap metal.
The body of the submersible is made of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is conductive and this could be galvanic corrosion of the locking bolt rings which are titanium.
If a Top Fuel Dragster tears apart an engine after each run, should the Titan not been thoroughly inspected at least. Who governs this type of inspections? RIP 🙏 to all that were lost.
Many heavy hearts right now, i pray for the folks on the sub and their fanilies. The deep ocean has many undiscoved, un named things. The Titanic is a graveyard, and should be left alone.
people in the comments like "Oh no way I'd do that!" Well yeah because only a tiny percentage of the population can even relate to spending $250,000, in one day, just to see something for a couple minutes. The only relatable situation I can even imagine is like when you're at the circus, and for 25 cents you can go inside a tent to see the worlds biggest pig. Sure, most people really aren't excited and going out of there way to see the world's biggest pig. But shoot you're already at the circus, the tent's only a minute walk from where you're at, it's convenient, interesting, and won't have any effect on your finances. Might as well see the pig. Then the pig rolls over a squishes all the visitors. And the rich people who pay $250,000 dollars to see a sunken ship are like "why wouldn't they just look at the pig from outside the tent.." Idk what I am even getting at. Just trying to relate to someone who spends what I make over the course of a few years in a single day. We are such a strange species..
It’s stupid cause tourist can pay to do this, get a little training and can be called mission specialist…… uhhh no you’re not your a tourist who gets to help map and catalogue the wreck. Rich folk who think they now specialist ha ha 250 k to die
There is and ravines and deep trenches too. If you haven’t ever caught an episode of “drain the oceans” it’s a great show. Ironically, there is an episode on Titanic. I do hope everyone on the submersible is okay.
And as for the sub it can move around , it has props on its back... as speed i dunno maybe 10mph 15mph incase of emergency... yes it can move around at the surface like a boat and really good under water.... but the fact it didnt return is a really bad sign... its at the ship i garuntee it.. they need to dive down and stop searching the surface mark my words they will find it at the ship... lets just hope its not to late...
Its not a 4 hour trip down.... my uncle does the same thing n has been to the titanic numerous times ect. Look its little over 12500 feet down thats over 2 miles deep. The pressures at that level are around 10,000 pounds per square inch... so if it sprung a leak.... its game over , they wouldnt have suffered if that is what happened. Because it would implode in less than a micro second. It takes 2 hours to reach titanic... not 4 hours... if they do 4hours to reach it then they are traveling very very slow down... its always been 2 hour maybe a few mins longer.. but 4 hours thats a really long time... if it got caught on the ship its gonna be almost impossible to free them... hopefully they didn't free fall down into the ship through the grand staircase its possible and if it did we wont be getting them back.... if they are sitting on the ship or beside it at the bottom.. they can use blow bags and tow straps chains to float em back to the surface.....
How long have they been missing and how long can they survive with the air capacity? Is there something to radio to them a transmitter of some sort? I'm surprised nobody had their cell phones on them.
@@grodriguez512It is relatively easy to invalidate a liability waiver if it involves "gross negligence" or "recklessness." The same principle applies to Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), where under certain circumstances, it is possible to disregard the LLC structure and hold the owner personally liable.
Can't imagine being bolted in........never disturb the dead.......as in the Titanic. Sometimes you can have too much money and always looking for the next thrill. Who would go down several miles in something that is operated by a video game controller???? No backup communication. You would think the billionaire would have more brains than to get involved with this type of operation. Lots of money at stake. Be careful what you wish for.
its possible the submersible lost control and maybe hit something,. that deep down it would implode in a second and lose all communications,. so they may have had a location at first but lost it if that happened,. we'll have to wait and see.,
The build of the thing sounds extremely crude, couple this with the fact that it had made a number of previous voyages possibly weakening the structure.
There should be GPS on the submersible. Even if there was a power failure that would direct you to its location. Unfortunately the latest news is not good. When I posted my earlier comment I didn’t realize that GPS doesn’t work underwater. A recovery mission at that depth has never been attempted. They have some time left if the submersible didn’t suffer a catastrophic failure. But it’s not looking very good for the crew. Certainly a sad situation.
Am I the only one who s mind wanders to giant sea creatures being involved? 😱Probably not.... but in these type of scenario s my mind is only familiar with what movies have shown me through out the years
They gotta be born rich and are so well off that it doesn’t matter what they spend their money on or got rich off a come up and don’t know how to handle the extra paper ...... l será será I’m neither so I don’t know why I’m touching the subject. I pray for the safe return for all 5 people
Why can't people just leave the Titanic alone? As many submersibles that have been going down since the 80s I'm surprised this didn't happen years ago.
It is obvious i t (the titanic ) doesnt want tourists there. It feels like the area is being defiled and all it wants is to be left in peace. There is too much bad juju pain tragedy trauma there...... not a tourist attraction. It's disrespectful to turn it into a money maker like the pearl Harbour ships you walk over.
if someone is going to do something like this they need a sub with a view screen, something relievable to get you to shore if need be a tiny sub like this it was just a matter of time before this would happen chances are they are trapped somewhere inside Titanic! they bumped something that caused something to fall or collapse,
Was it not tethered to the boat? At what point did they lose contact? Last transmission? Oxygen levels? What about the data sent to the computers on the boat? You all have given no information
why would anyone waste that much money to go down to a grave yard you would never get me into the sea have no desire to see whats down there at all your just asking for trouble
Speaking as a former USN fast attack SUBMARINER......I understand the accident rate and there is NO WAY I WOULD use a civilian submarine!! (ok.....Woodshole and a 0 FEW others) you ort to imagine MANEUVERING WATCH where 90 percent of the crew are still sleeping off liberty!!
There are certain things I just would not do! This is one of them. Hoping this ends well for these people.

What about Pearl Harbor. The US whatever is sunken there and people go and look at it (I have)

True! And what happens if one of the passengers has a severe panic reaction to the claustrophobia and creates a bunch of internal damage to the sub.
A jab induced stroke, very plausible with a weakened heart and lung capacity from the above hindered by the claustrophobia and cabin pressure.

i hate to say it but unless the sub lost full power, it’s likely the only other reason it lost comms is because it imploded..
My guess is the event happened when they lost communication ability.

Hey, JB, would they heard that deep that’s a long ways down if they were banging, I pray they find them all safe and bring them home 🙏🙏🙏🙏
There are 4 paying passengers on these trips each paying $250,000. So that would be $1 million per trip - just to gawk at a shipwreck. How many lives could that million dollars per trip save?
So make your money, and then give it way. No one is stopping you.
Yeah totally, if someone has money they shouldn’t spend it how they want. We should all give extra money away. People shouldn’t pay and go on vacations either. Selfish jerks.💀 shut up
If the power goes off,as long as they have air, there are two or three failsafes apparently, which allow the sub. to float back up, but it will be off course.
You have to have power to keep the inside of the submersible at the same (and safe) pressure required for survival… no power, no pressure inside and everything equalizes. Very sad.
At least they know the general area. It isn't going to find other ship wrecks for example.
Andrea Gail went down near titanic!
What a horrible situation to be in. I can't imagine what these 5 people are going through. And their families, how heartbreaking. This sub is able to go 4000 feet down ... 😔 I will be lighting 5 candles tonight. 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯 May they all return safely home to their loved ones. Love and light to everyone ✨️ 💛
They are using a 10 dollar remote to run the sub. This does not look good at all
I hope their found 🙏
the sub has safety systems in place that even if they loose power it has 7 ways it can come back up to the surface so i don't man i hope their found soon
This is a fine example of greed and morbid ‼️ LET THE TITANIC R.I.P ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Speaking of greed, the Chinese dredged up the wrecks of the HMS Prince of Wales and the Repulse which were sunken in WW2 by the Japanese, with significant loss of life. They dug them up for scrap metal.
Why am I watching two guys who know nothing about anything…
$250,000 price tag that’s far from ordinary folks.🤣🤣
more money then sense.😮
The body of the submersible is made of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is conductive and this could be galvanic corrosion of the locking bolt rings which are titanium.
If a Top Fuel Dragster tears apart an engine after each run, should the Titan not been thoroughly inspected at least. Who governs this type of inspections? RIP 🙏 to all that were lost.
International waters. I don't think anyone governs it.
Many heavy hearts right now, i pray for the folks on the sub and their fanilies. The deep ocean has many undiscoved, un named things. The Titanic is a graveyard, and should be left alone.
This is sad.
What size is the submersible?
If there was a implosion would there be any evidence of that?? Any idea on the size of the pieces left in that scenario??
250 000 a ticket. Not 4 regular tourists
people in the comments like "Oh no way I'd do that!" Well yeah because only a tiny percentage of the population can even relate to spending $250,000, in one day, just to see something for a couple minutes.
The only relatable situation I can even imagine is like when you're at the circus, and for 25 cents you can go inside a tent to see the worlds biggest pig. Sure, most people really aren't excited and going out of there way to see the world's biggest pig. But shoot you're already at the circus, the tent's only a minute walk from where you're at, it's convenient, interesting, and won't have any effect on your finances. Might as well see the pig.
Then the pig rolls over a squishes all the visitors. And the rich people who pay $250,000 dollars to see a sunken ship are like "why wouldn't they just look at the pig from outside the tent.."
Idk what I am even getting at. Just trying to relate to someone who spends what I make over the course of a few years in a single day. We are such a strange species..
@Pooreditz and also this smart person considers the risks. This vehicle should never be on its way to the deep sea with people in it.
fantastic
It’s stupid cause tourist can pay to do this, get a little training and can be called mission specialist…… uhhh no you’re not your a tourist who gets to help map and catalogue the wreck. Rich folk who think they now specialist ha ha 250 k to die
I hear that there is volcanoes under the ocean……..
There is and ravines and deep trenches too. If you haven’t ever caught an episode of “drain the oceans” it’s a great show. Ironically, there is an episode on Titanic.
I do hope everyone on the submersible is okay.
And as for the sub it can move around , it has props on its back... as speed i dunno maybe 10mph 15mph incase of emergency... yes it can move around at the surface like a boat and really good under water.... but the fact it didnt return is a really bad sign... its at the ship i garuntee it.. they need to dive down and stop searching the surface mark my words they will find it at the ship... lets just hope its not to late...
They had coms on original dive in 1987. Alvin was at her with coms to surface.
"This is the only one that can do the job" uh no it can't.
Its not a 4 hour trip down.... my uncle does the same thing n has been to the titanic numerous times ect. Look its little over 12500 feet down thats over 2 miles deep. The pressures at that level are around 10,000 pounds per square inch... so if it sprung a leak.... its game over , they wouldnt have suffered if that is what happened. Because it would implode in less than a micro second. It takes 2 hours to reach titanic... not 4 hours... if they do 4hours to reach it then they are traveling very very slow down... its always been 2 hour maybe a few mins longer.. but 4 hours thats a really long time... if it got caught on the ship its gonna be almost impossible to free them... hopefully they didn't free fall down into the ship through the grand staircase its possible and if it did we wont be getting them back.... if they are sitting on the ship or beside it at the bottom.. they can use blow bags and tow straps chains to float em back to the surface.....
****THIS COMMENT NEEDS TO BE PINNED ****
Would this machine have a tether to the surface ship or is it a stand alone sub?
Good question. What operator takes a tour without surface communication in place. You gotta be crazy, you are not a delphine. 😅
"meant to give ordinary folks..." love how they casually say that like everyone has a cool qtr mill to throw on a boat ride
Many big fish species down under all hungry and they don't chew
Subs don't need power to come up, sinking and rising can be done with manual pumps, unless you rely on electric doing more than CPR & Communication
How long have they been missing and how long can they survive with the air capacity? Is there something to radio to them a transmitter of some sort? I'm surprised nobody had their cell phones on them.
Don't believe one could make a call @ 12k feet below. Maybe space?
@@justmeinhere5905 idk. Sonar? This is not my expertise.
Supposedly 96 hours of oxygen when they left on their excursion…
@@MatthewBookof2 Do you know how long it's been. Has anyone heard anything?
Where's the prop? Powered by water jets?
Hopefully they're found alive but this company is going bankrupt after this event... First mission ends in complete disaster
I agree , feel so sorry for the people and their family 's who made the decision to do this.
Not if a waiver been signed.
@@grodriguez512It is relatively easy to invalidate a liability waiver if it involves "gross negligence" or "recklessness." The same principle applies to Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), where under certain circumstances, it is possible to disregard the LLC structure and hold the owner personally liable.
More like their 33rd mission
@@grodriguez512 yes you absolutely can If gross negligence is involved. Simple mistakes and errors no But gross negligence yes.
Who thought this would ever be a good idea ?
Do you think that although their communications are down, that they might be on their way back but way off course?
The sub hit a ice berg.
Can't imagine being bolted in........never disturb the dead.......as in the Titanic. Sometimes you can have too much money and always looking for the next thrill. Who would go down several miles in something that is operated by a video game controller???? No backup communication. You would think the billionaire would have more brains than to get involved with this type of operation. Lots of money at stake. Be careful what you wish for.
How scary I love this ship but I never would do this.
its possible the submersible lost control and maybe hit something,. that deep down it would implode in a second and lose all communications,. so they may have had a location at first but lost it if that happened,. we'll have to wait and see.,
The build of the thing sounds extremely crude, couple this with the fact that it had made a number of previous voyages possibly weakening the structure.
@@paulf2529 They control it with a video game remote. That thing is a pile of 💩
There should be GPS on the submersible. Even if there was a power failure that would direct you to its location. Unfortunately the latest news is not good. When I posted my earlier comment I didn’t realize that GPS doesn’t work underwater. A recovery mission at that depth has never been attempted. They have some time left if the submersible didn’t suffer a catastrophic failure. But it’s not looking very good for the crew. Certainly a sad situation.
Am I the only one who s mind wanders to giant sea creatures being involved? 😱Probably not.... but in these type of scenario s my mind is only familiar with what movies have shown me through out the years
The kraken
Orcas
I honestly agree about creatures being there..... we have no clue what's really there
Very sad, prayers for the families who have missing family members who are missing🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✡️✝️
I saw of the titanic and things from it going Vegas museum and was safe doing it!!
They gotta be born rich and are so well off that it doesn’t matter what they spend their money on or got rich off a come up and don’t know how to handle the extra paper ...... l será será I’m neither so I don’t know why I’m touching the subject. I pray for the safe return for all 5 people
Who passed inspection for this expedition???
Why can't people just leave the Titanic alone? As many submersibles that have been going down since the 80s I'm surprised this didn't happen years ago.
😮god bless all lives lost that horribly cold evening
It is obvious i t (the titanic ) doesnt want tourists there. It feels like the area is being defiled and all it wants is to be left in peace. There is too much bad juju pain tragedy trauma there...... not a tourist attraction. It's disrespectful to turn it into a money maker like the pearl Harbour ships you walk over.
if someone is going to do something like this they need a sub with a view screen, something relievable to get you to shore if need be a tiny sub like this it was just a matter of time before this would happen chances are they are trapped somewhere inside Titanic! they bumped something that caused something to fall or collapse,
Was it not tethered to the boat? At what point did they lose contact? Last transmission? Oxygen levels? What about the data sent to the computers on the boat? You all have given no information
May be not good any more. Changes the pressure of water.
why would anyone waste that much money to go down to a grave yard you would never get me into the sea have no desire to see whats down there at all your just asking for trouble
It seems for photo taking cell phone works, was it able to text?edit: I wonder if the platform stays underwater with mini sub?
And all they seem to care about is the missing rich guy...... ya kno there is 4 more ppl on board
Coincidence? I think not. Felt the bad vibe immediately after they mentioned one man's mega wealth....
Speaking as a former USN fast attack SUBMARINER......I understand the accident rate and there is NO WAY I WOULD use a civilian submarine!! (ok.....Woodshole and a 0 FEW
others) you ort to imagine MANEUVERING WATCH where 90 percent of the crew are still sleeping off liberty!!
If they were on surface they’d have communication. At those depths they have no communication.
