How long can the crew of the Titan survive?

Update: A ROV has detected a debris field in the search area near Titanic. Unified Command experts are evaluating the information.

Soon we will upload the pictures and video!!!

For this purpose, the submarine has a toilet, although it is only sufficient for the most necessary business. Whether the toilets are made for a dive trip that lasts longer than ten hours is also unclear. And what about water and food? The Ocean Gate Expeditions website states that tourists could take a bag of sandwiches for lunch. This is not enough for several days, it says. In the worst case, however, people could go up to three months without food.

The situation is different with water. In less than 24 hours, our body shows the first signs of dehydration. After three days – a maximum of one week – it’s over and you die. Whether the ship is equipped with enough drinking water to supply the passengers for a few days is uncertain.

The emergency supply of oxygen should last 96 hours. However, this is only a guideline. Seidler compares this with a dive on vacation, the duration of which depends, among other things, on the physical condition or personal excitement.

Among the missing is the company director Stockton Rush, who, among other things, piloted the submersible to the wreck of the Titanic himself, according to the New York Times. Also missing are French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet and the three Britons Hamish Harding (entrepreneur and adventurer), Shahzada Dawood (management consultant) and his son Suleman.
