    Eh, here’s a question from the bbc article in question:

    The vessel weighs 10,432 kg (23,000 lbs) and, according to the website, can reach depths of up to 4,000m and has 96 hours of life support available for a crew of five.

        Great! I’d still not at all want to be stuck there. Also, just loosing contact with the sub feels like a majorly bad sign.

          Id say that it indicates a catastrophic failure most likely, a far more preferable fate if you ask me rather than sitting on the bottom waiting for air to run out.
