Nah, they're more common than you think.
Titanic tourist submersible missing | Sub's debris found - crew "have been lost"

It's because radio waves are electro magnetic and their energy is absorbed by the water, conversely that's why they travel so well in a vacuum as there is nothing to absorb their energy but sound waves won't as they need particles to travel, so they do well in water but don't work in a vacuum.
They aren't more common than I think. Makos, Tigers, Hamnerheads and Great Whites are very rare in the Med.
yes, but you also have to take into account his track record.

Are Sky Sports News going to have a count down for this?

Just one addition here, not all radio waves are absorbed equally by water. Those with extremely low frequency (and correspindingly very long wavelength) are not absorbed and actually can reach typical depths of a submarine. For a transmission frequency of about 7 Hertz , the US had build a site with smth like 14 miles long antennas, the generated signal from those basically traveling around the planet. The submarines have long wires towed , to receive such transmissions.
I didn't want to get into VLF and ELF! But even those probably wouldn't get to the depths of the Titanic and then you have to factor in salinity as well.
And importantly, the subs can only receive those transmissions. They can't send anything back.
Aye, Gary Cotterill will be there conducting interviews with the ship and submarine captains through the drivers windows.
Geoff Shreeves will be asking family members if they're aware what the consequences will be if time runs out.
Depends where is the receiver though. If its an aircraft flying above, towing an antenna wire, theoretically they can pick up sub generated transmission.
Perhaps they have reason to believe this is an area it might be in?
If sound travels so well why don't subs have horns, bells or announcement speakers in case of emergency?
If I was in the sub I would simply open the window drink all of the water.
I was thinking the same, howcome they don't have some kind of tracking or alarm system in place for times like this? I guess the technology isn't there?
Isn't it pitch dark down at those depths? How would you see the water?
This wouldn't work.
Where are they doing their poo-poo and wee wee?
Dying from dehydration while surrounded by water does seem a bit daft though.
I would just close my eyes and start gobbling.
Tell me you've never studied science without telling me you've never studied science
From a video of the sub I saw, there's a small space over which you can draw a curtain and shit into what is essentially a bucket. I imagine that got unpleasant very quickly.
Only because he'd make the sub heavier when he pisses it into the toilet. Otherwise it's a foolproof plan, if you ask me
Well there’s no doubt that can (and does) happen unless the certification body is fiercely independent of vested interests.
The Unthinkable Ship.
Horrific way to go. Would they have taken their phones down there with them? If they recover the submersible then perhaps they’ve documented what happened and lessons can be learned, but then again, maybe the lesson is don’t go to these depths in a shed.

Duh. It's salt water.
Just put a filter in your mouth.
I think the second the "window" was cracked open the air in the vessel would be compressed so fast it would ignite and then the pressure wave would turn you to jelly before the vessel imploded around your jellied remains. I'd just let the CO2 send me to sleep....it's the least messy way to go out.
If this timeline the beeb has put out is correct and they didn't contact coast Guard for nearly 8 hours then someone is getting sued for sure. That's criminal negligence!

5 people. 4 days. That’s a lot of shit accumulated in that small bucket. Imagine the stench. 
Ask someone else to drink it and filter it for you
How soon until people start charging to go visit the wreck of this sub?
Ah - but this time it will be an Xbox controller rather than PS controller to pilot the sub.
I think you'll find I'm built different.
I can't believe that this is the way the console wars will continue.
Its not a console controller - logitech generic pad for pc.
You will be when you open the window.
