Honestly I would just take the sub down 10 metres and play a pre recorded show. They'd never know and chances of dying would be limited. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 12389 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 In almost 10 years they've not been able to find MH370. This thing is around about the size of an aircraft engine so the chances of it ever being found at all must be slim. Aren't all submersibles designed with a built-in dead weight release system so that natural buoyancy can return it the surface in the event of an emergency? Does make you wonder if the integrity of the craft has been breached at which point it'll already be too late. Nature's way of telling us to leave the wreck of the Titanic the fuck alone IYAM. It's effectively a grave site, not a tourist attraction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
