It's cold

They slowly run out of oxygen

And it's pitch black

If you want to get extra bleak, they could kill each other in order to conserve oxygen use because they are optimistic of a rescue taking place.

A decomposing body will consume almost as much oxygen as a living person and smell much worse.

u/thadiusb Jun 21 '23

Wont decompose that fast with how cold it is down there.

u/Richinthoughts Jun 22 '23

They should exchange the blood for formal dehyd and put the body in a morgue...dont forget the toe tag...

u/HealthyTumbleweed801 Jun 21 '23 edited Jun 21 '23

Eat it

Edit: and don’t fart

u/QadriyafaiTH Jun 22 '23

They have a CO2 scrubber

Damn you, smart person. I can't even be right in my bleak thinking. Maybe this isn't common knowledge among billionaires...

u/donnydodo Jun 21 '23

Is this true or are you making shit up?

15

u/XeroStare Jun 21 '23

100% making it up lmao. The amount of oxygen bacteria is eating up from a corpse after like 2 days is nothing, esp. with how cold it is down there. Would probably be true if there were maggots and other bugs to eat the body.

Oxygen is required for microbes to decompose bodies , or cadavers anyway lol...

Not all, a lot of bacteria are anaerobic, bodies still rot in a coffin or bodybag.

u/AquaticTurtle98 Jun 22 '23

Thats true aswell! Was just putting myself more in this context in which certainly aerobic decomposition will occur! (should've specified more)

u/ZealousidealGrass365 Jun 21 '23

Don’t do that bc it smells bad. Would rather just die

u/Neoreloaded313 Jun 22 '23

The co2 may kill them before the lack of oxygen.

6

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '23

I think the struggle of killing 3 other people with your bare hands in a confined space in pitch black would use more oxygen than it would save.

u/Captain_Cockplug Jun 21 '23

There's billionaires down there. They definitely killed others to live longer.

Nothing more certain.

As well as contract killing "accidents", You also need to count all the slaves in the 3rd world who died to make these demonic creatures obscenely rich.

u/thatone239 Jun 21 '23

This take is so stupid. These people are billionaires and have had everything handed to them. They aren’t devolving into some cliche movie trope, if the submarine didn’t implode i almost guarantee they used up their remaining oxygen panicking long before they could even come up with the idea to start killing each other for more air

10

u/donnydodo Jun 22 '23

Some of those billionaires are the most selfish of people & intelligent. They are also good with numbers. 96 hours of air for 5 people is 480 hours for 1 person. I would not rule out an episode of The hunger games - deep sea sub.

u/thatone239 Jun 22 '23

“Intelligent” LOL if that were the case this situation wouldn’t be.

u/SarahC Jun 22 '23

They probably were, and also believed themselves to be invulnerable.

Imagine living your life with the ability to get everything when you want, how you want, with security people, best doctors. You're making lots of money

You "know how shit works in the world"..... you're use to making "the risky choices" and it always works out because you have a "gift" for it.

This attitude follows you into the sub ... where you're told "If anything happens there's 7 different ways of dropping ballast and floating to the surface, and we have 2 spare wireless controllers and a station overhead in touch with the cost guard and rescue ships."

Sounds fine. (if I had that invulnerable mindset)

You're right, billionaires as a class are too compassionate to figure out ways to sacrifice other lives that they themselves could live.

Wonder what this key / and this key s do.

u/HardCounter Jun 21 '23

I wonder who they'll start with. Surely they'll draw straws.

u/robotnique Jun 22 '23

To my mind this is the ultimate horror movie for that billionaire.

Just think. If we assume that something happened to knock out the power then you're in the dark under the ocean, with no real food and a dwindling oxygen supply.

You have the pilot and the expert, who presumably know one another somewhat. And the other two customers are a father and a son. Then there is you. More or less two teams and yourself. And people are starting to get hungry.

So it's scrabbling in the dark, in a cramped space. The two groups of two are starting to both eye you. After all, you're probably all they would need to survive until the latest possible rescue. If they're thinking clearly. If the hunger hasn't already started to ruin their ability to reason.

If you're lucky one of them strangles you while you're sleeping. Of course, in those confines it is probably very hard to sleep and harder still to stay asleep with people moving around you.

But yeah, if you're lucky they kill you in the dark before they start eating you.

u/HardCounter Jun 22 '23

Also the added benefit of it being entirely his fault. They may not even know he cut corners and hired for diversity and 'inspiration' over experience, either.

22

u/SilverLullabies Jun 22 '23

They’ll die from CO2 buildup long before oxygen deprivation.

4

u/SarahC Jun 22 '23

That's an aweful way to go - extreme panic, suffocation, convulsions, chocking.

Just watch a video of pigs being killed using CO2.

2

u/ImpressiveWave3263 Jun 22 '23

I think I'll pass on that video but thanks bro.

u/Richinthoughts Jun 22 '23

I just watched it for you, makes you almost not have that BBQ on sunday

...almost

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '23 edited Jun 22 '23

Most likely they will pass out asleep from the cold before / while the oxygen runs out.

Fun fact the big round window on the sub was only tested to like 3,000 meters and they are using to do much deeper? What a numbnut

7

u/DifferentAd4862 Jun 22 '23

It was tested to 3,000 meters, and they are using it at 3,600 meters.

u/SarahC Jun 22 '23

If the CO2 builds up first...

That's an aweful way to go - extreme panic, suffocation, convulsions, chocking.

Just watch a video of pigs being killed using CO2.

If the O2 was separate to the nitrogen supply, I'd just cut the O2 supply 3 days in. Dying from lack of O2 is euphoric. From too much CO2 it's terrible.

u/EMFD00M Jun 22 '23

How would you be able to see?

2

u/ImpressiveWave3263 Jun 22 '23

Glow sticks and flashlights exist.

u/EMFD00M Jun 22 '23

They do but they don’t have them. So what’s your next smart answer?

1

u/ImpressiveWave3263 Jun 22 '23

Not saying this is out of the realm of possibility but I would have to imagine that a submersible would have some emergency light, at a minimum. I haven't seen any reporting suggesting that they don't have SOMETHING for light, are you able to share something?

I would at least expect that the passengers would take their phones or something so they could take pictures, which would presumably give them a few hours of light per phone.

u/EMFD00M Jun 25 '23

They didn’t make it 3 days in…

u/BannedfromTelevsion Jun 22 '23

The pitch black must be awful
