I hope that's them, and somehow they find them

If they did find them, how would they rescue them in time? Seems highly improbable to find them in time. But the actual rescuing of the sub seems quite the task in and of itself..

It is much more socially acceptable currently to make fun of rich people which is why I think you are seeing all of those.

The OceanGate CEO who is trapped on a 22-foot submersible on an ill-fated voyage to see the Titanic wreck once explained how he didn’t hire “50-year-old white guys” with military experience to captain his vessels because they weren’t “inspirational.”
Stockton Rush, 61, added that such expertise was unnecessary because “anybody can drive the sub” with a $30 video game controller.
“When I started the business, one of the things you’ll find, there are other sub-operators out there, but they typically have, uh, gentlemen who are ex-military submariners, and they — you’ll see a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys,” Rush told Teledyne Marine in a newly resurfaced undated Zoom interview.
“I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational and I’m not going to inspire a 16-year-old to go pursue marine technology, but a 25-year-old, uh, you know, who’s a sub pilot or a platform operator or one of our techs can be inspirational,” he continued

They’re down to only about 10-15 hours. It will take a couple of hours to travel to the surface. They are also bolted shut - I wonder how long it will take to also unseal the sub when it is on the surface.

I also wonder when the last banging was heard.

True. Like someone said, it'd be nothing short of a miracle.

British Titanic submarine rescue mission with high-tech vehicle 'blocked by US officials'

A British-based firm has a vehicle that may save the five people trapped in the Atlantic Sea - but says the US government has blocked them from joining the mission, it is reported.

A team of deepwater specialists from Magellan Limited have been waiting to leave an airport in the Channel Islands since 7 pm on Monday but approval for take-off has yet to be received, the Telegraph reports.

Magellan has apparent clearance from the Ministry of Defence to leave UK airspace, but the American government has allegedly not authorised its departure.
