This titanic submersible story is mad. No location tracking, controlled by a video game controller and is directed by text message. The passengers are effectively locked in too (not that you could do anything 4k metres down). They are goners.

It’s wild isn’t it, I can’t believe anyone would willingly hand over 250k to take a trip on that

From the BBC website: "The submersible usually carries a pilot, three paying guests, and what the company calls a "content expert".
I like that the expert enjoys his job.

It does seem like, at a minimum, they should have 2 of the things, so that they can send someone else down to check if there's a problem.

They should have just tied a big piece of string to it to help locate it.

Well the thing is, even if you had a second sub right next to it, there would be nothing you could do except go 'yeah, they done fucked up'. It's not like these things have docking ports or even robotic arms to move stuff. You're also not going to pull it to the surface if the ballast weight doesn't drop.

I also hadn't realised that the mechanism to get the ballast to drop is apparently everyone to move to one side to tip the vessel...
