It’s also possible it has floated to the surface and they can’t locate it because it’s very hard to see when surfaced.
That sub has melt away ballast connections. The attachments to what allows the sub to sink will melt away after 8? hours. So it may have floated back up.
Problem is they are bolted in from the outside and they have no communications working.
I read an account that a person standing on the recovery ship, could not pick out the sub when it was right next to the ship. It sits so low in the water with barely anything above the surface.

Huh that’s interesting. Do you know where you read that from? I’ve never heard of that on any ship before and now I’m curious.

"Mr Pogue said yesterday he had been told that there were seven ballasts that the submersible could jettison to float to the top.
‘Either they are bobbing on the surface and have no power,’ he told Chris Cuomo on NewsNation.
'Or something happened that overrode all seven of those ballasts.
‘Or the really horrible possibility is the capsule developed a leak, and they’d be dead in a fraction of a second.’"

I hadn’t heard this, super informative!
