The Engro Corporation released a statement early Sunday morning identifying two passengers on the submersible that went missing Sunday during a survey of the sunken Titanic.

"On Sunday, June 18, Mr. Shahzada Dawood, Vice Chairman of Engro Corporation Limited, along with his son, Suleman, embarked on a journey to visit the remnants of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean. All that we know so far is that contact was lost with their submersible craft," the company said in a statement.

"There is limited information available beyond this that we know, and we humbly request that speculation and theorization is avoided," the statement read.

I hope for the best,you could not pay me enough to get inside 1 of those little things and then go 13,000 feet underwater

$250K to be a "mission specialist".

A sea monster ate them - that's what my nightmare last night says happened.

You would never ever get me to do something like that. :shudder:

My stepdad was a submariner for 22 years.

I would assume that this mini sub has some sort of signal that gives them it's location---maybe not.
But if they find it, it is 12,500 feet down. A little over 2 miles. What have they got that can lift it or take the people off it and how far away is that equipment,? I read somewhere that it has emergency oxygen for 90 hrs. Time is running out.

probability tells me this thing has already imploded or suffered some other catastrophic failure and the only outcome would be retrieval.

Iisten here. I appreciate the setup, and i'm tempted to take a swing but i respect you too much to make a joke about the correlation between submariner and "step" dad.

I thought it was tethered? Wouldn't it be easy enough to retrieve even if it imploded?

If it were tethered, I wouldn't' think they'd have the Coast Guard searching 600 square miles of ocean surface.

Their claim was if it suffered a malfunction it would surface on it's own. I read that as it's untethered and self guided.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Is anyone here old enough to remember Mike Nelson? He could do it.

Sea Hunt. Kinda sorta remember it.

 

[Monello]

If it imploded, there should be some sort of floating debris field.

 

[Kyle]

Damn it!

Sea Hunt is where my Barracuda nightmares come from.

He went from Sea Hunt to sniffing glue.

I heard he's trying to give it up.
