I'm sure it will garner the kind of media frenzy that submarine with those 5 dudes did.

Submarines going down is way rarer. At that depth it's almost unheard of.

There was a similar media frenzy when a military sub went missing a few years ago.

Was that the one off Argentina? Had forgotten about that - could've put it in my post! More evidence it's the uncertainty that drives public engagement.

Yeah the not knowing and the ticking clock were definitely big drivers of that story.
