There's nothing to rescue except a waterlogged carbon fiber tube filled with gore.

There are reports that acoustic systems picked up banging noises at 30 minute intervals. Until I heard that, I was convinced it had imploded. Now I'm not so sure, and it'll only be worse if they aren't rescued. Implosion would at least have been fast.

It sure sounds like they're likely alive based on the reported banging. Sadly rescue before oxygen runs out seems impossible.

They were alive, which is very very sad, but if they lost power (seems likely) then without heaters they would have froze to death a couple days ago.

That's what an article emphasized that I skimmed through. The sub had automatic pinging, and systems to automatically raise it to the surface if an untoward event happened. For communication and pinging to be lost, as well as the lack of floating submersible... It's likely whatever happened buggered the whole setup. The banging also was supposedly heard in 30 minute intervals, but no one is saying how many of those intervals happened. The banging could be from anything. The deeps get strange, and the water distorts much of what we know. Multiple people with knowledge from other searches, like the 2014 MH flight, said banging was often heard during their searches but it was always from other sources.
