The Everest equivalent to the sub, if it were possible, would be climbing into a helicopter and flying to the summit.

Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."

yeah, good point, though at least you'd get the view. Admittedly, being claustrophobic I'm probably biased (the thought of being locked into a small metal cylinder with 4 other people gives me the screaming heeby jeebies) but I can't see the appeal. As I understand it, if it had all gone OK, then the only thing they'd have seen would be on a tv screen or though a tiny porthole. Not my idea of fun at all!

In the future (and hopefully in this case) this experience could prove to be life saving.
Really, going to that depth is a job for drones and robots, not a cylinder full of people who can't see a thing anyway, though I suppose they take turns at the little porthole.
Side note - anyone else seen "Gray Lady Down"? It's a good film.

sorry, serious subject, no place for schoolboy humour.

When the Kursk went down, the RN offered Russia help with its own deep-sea recovery submersible, but Putin said 'no' - until it was too late. That was just 100-odd metres depth - and I don't think these RN recovery vehicles can operate at 4000 meters.
That aside, I find it unethical making money to take rich tourists to the site of human tragedy and it should now stop. It shouldn't have started in the first place really.

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.

It would be too much of a coincidence if they heard noises as per the protocol and if they did they surely would be making much more of it.
But maybe they are/were banging in morse code but because they're hitting a carbon fibre hull it's getting bloody muffled!.
