Floating on the surface is only barely better than stranded deep underwater, there’s no hatch for them to open so they’ll still be limited by oxygen and there’s no locator beacon that might help rescuers find them.
No locator beacon?? Like… why the hell not??? Was this whole thing an exercise in seeing how stupid they could be?
Well the sub can’t be opened from the inside, so if they’re floating on the surface they’ll still run out of air if not found. And people really underestimate how hard it is to find small craft in the ocean. You’re looking for a needle in a haystack, with the added twist that the ocean currents move stuff around so the search area grows
Yeah I think they mentioned it was the area the size of Connecticut…
That’s my fear in this case, and it can be occurring at the surface or down below - not sure which is worse.
