Its like finding a grain of salt on a beach.

Well, I was thinking more of the grim effect on the passengers, but I would also say that at that depth, in the dark, in so much space, that it's a very small target, even before it's flattened.
Finding it now seems to be incredibly difficult when there's the potential for the passengers to make sound to indicate position. Without even that, I'm not sure there's much reason to think it will be found.

I don’t understand the logic behind locking them in, underwater you are unable to open the hatch due to water pressure anyway, you can do it only at the surface.

You all seen how much of a train wreck the kid is who went to the Blink 182 gig posting about his step dad being missing?
Pure incel, been in jail for stalking and harrassment and made threats to shoot up a EDM gig.
Ne wonder he didn't give a fuck his step dad is missing.
Also, I'm in the belief they've been dead since day 1 due to the submersible imploding.

To avoid the hatch as a failure point when the submersible is deep underwater.

Step dad might of hated him and not had him in his will?
I would of cut him straight out the creepy little turd.

There's not really a hatch, it's more that the front of the submarine hinges opens at one end all around it's diameter. The locks are the only mechanism that keep the end watertight, so it would leak from the moment it entered the water without them.
You can see it at the beginning of this video:

I don't know much about water dynamics, but if you take the design of this deep water subs but replace the air inside with water, wouldn't the sub hold the pressure with no problems? As water cannot be compressed. Then divers could go inside at normal preassure. I'm sure this would not work I just can't see why...

Because humans can't survive in that pressure.

As soon as water goes into it at them depths it's a guaranteed death. It's not possible at such extreme pressures.
Even a slight leak of water at that pressure turns into a cutting blade essentially. Think of a jet wash, you can strip paint off a car with it, the pressure will be far more than that and easily cut through a person.
If you mean replace the oxygen with water before even going into the water, it'll fuck with the buoyancy and require far more energy to move the sub around and require oxygen tanks on board for the passangers to use.

I watched this vid yesterday, many risks and red flags mentioned, making it even more crazy how this actually was a thing

Yes, this is what I mean. But I'm thinking about this, and this would in fact not work. It would be crushed anyway in case of a hull integrity problem just like if there was air inside. That's because there are compressible things inside (the humans).

The pressure of the water would mean that you wouldn't be looking at a peaceful leak or replacement of water. You're looking at intense pressure on all sides of the submarine. If the hull were to be breached, the water would immediately force it's way in, and as you say water cannot be compressed, but air can.
The breach would weaken the submarine and the force of water would likely immediately tear any breach wider, reducing the structural integrity further.
So, the walls of the sub would suddenly and significantly be weakened, there's a giant force pushing on the sub and inside is a gas which can be compressed.
Sub starts to buckle, air compresses, sub continues to buckle.
At some point the air would be pushed out and the compression would end, but if that takes more than a fraction of a second, then the sub would be significantly deformed.
Is my understanding.

The big question is how the fuck did he managed to do 3 trips before this one.
I guess math and physics can randomly bend for no reason...

I have a friend close to the rescue mission. He said the Logitech controller story is inaccurate. Supposedly they recently upgraded the control surfaces to joy-cons, and drifting killed it.

Did they say 0600 est they would run out of oxygen? That was 10 minutes ago

Nobody knows the exact time, it depends on the rate they are using it. Regardless, they are dead, the sub most likely imploded and debris will sooner or later start washing up somewhere.

Was the Missing Titanic Submersible Using Satellites from Elon Musk’s Company?
The submersible went missing in June 2023 with five people on board during a dive to explore the Titanic wreckage.

That titanic countdown says they are out of oxygen. Not sure if it's accurate but I suppose it's close enough...
They aren't being found alive now. Always seemed like a slim hope but basically safe to say they are dead now.

The stupid thing probably imploded when contact was lost 1 hour 45 minutes in. The last 4 days has just been a colossal waste of money as multiple vessels from 4 nations have been combing the ocean for a few bits they will never find.

Even if the Titan didn't implode, they wouldn't have lasted until the end of the media Hollywood 96 hours oxygen story. When you're with 5 ppl inside a small enclosed vessel, there are more factors than simply 'oxygen supply'. The guy in the video I posted can explain it much better than me.

this shows just how far down the titanic is 
there is no light below 1,000 feet. the ocean is fucking scary!
Chances are they died well before now. Could have imploded on Sunday or they could've all died yesterday or the day before. We'll probably never know. Hopefully they can find the sub and get some answers.

96 hours was just what they said it could do and probably in optimal conditions. So maybe 2 people who are in a calm state taking slow short breaths. 5 guys in a sub who are probably freaking the fuck out is going to obviously use the oxygen up faster.

Yeah this is like reading your laptop has 18 hours of battery life (Looking at Apple here) but that's under specific conditions. Depending on usage you might only get 15 hours. Or that your Switch has a battery life of 9 hours but in some games it might only last 4-5 hours.

Don't worry, that can will eventually open itself up. It's like a delayed present.

Obviously this is entirely grim, but I do wonder what happens now.
By most estimates the oxygen is gone/practically gone. If they found it now, there wouldn't be enough time to bring the sub up.
How long will they search for a submarine of dead bodies?

A better way to visualize the depth of the Titanic is imagine commercial skydiving. The Titanic is deeper than the height Skydivers jump out of a plane which is usually at 10 000 feet.
So the "hatch" even bigger than I estimated so even more force holding it shut. Plus where it's located if you could open it the sub would flood rapidly and start sinking.(Trying to get 5 people out and deploy a life raft even if they had one would be a shit show given how few seconds they would have had)

Yep sadly they're dead.
Even if they are found NOW, they still need to be raised up 12 000 feet which can take up to another 2 hours. They'd be raising corpses.

It's crazy and that part of the earth isn't even the deepest ocean. If you ever go in a sub then make sure James Cameron is with you!
