It gets worse even if the sub made it to the surface it they are unable to find the sub before the oxygen runs out everyone will still die since the sub has no way open the hatch and its sealed to be airtight.

There’s a lot about OceanGate that confuses and alarms me but the thing on my mind this afternoon is why there isn’t any way for the people inside to get out without an external crew. That just seems insane—all those ways to theoretically ensure the Titan makes it to the surface in case of emergency but then you just bob there, oxygen running out, too bad? (And the submersible is white?! Not neon orange?? I hate everything about this.)
