I don't really know anything for sure but I can't imagine they would be easy to find no matter what the situation is.
I don't think so. Someone who was there was talking about the walls being damp from sweat. Very humid. That's the body heat of five people in a small space, and the water is about 40F outside.
Not to mention fecal matter and (in my estimation) vomit. What a way to go. I hope for their sake that the gravity of their situation never crossed their minds. I think of John Kennedy Jr.'s fatal flight to Martha's Vineyard. He supposedly didn't know what hit him until it was too late. He was also not very adept at reading navigation instruments and relied on his eyes to guide him during the hazy flight.
I'm definitely not an expert but at thousands of meters down it gets very cold I definitely don't think it's 40 F
I'm not an expert either, but figure its worth pointing out that the floor temperature here is around 0C or 32F. Cursory googling landed on 36.5F for me.
Let's not get too grim here. No one could have possibly seen this happening, even as plausible as it may have seemed before it even happened.
The CEO of the company is on the record saying 'at some point, safety is pure waste.'

Yeah it's absolutely horrific to think about. I think honestly I'm going to stop reading about this story for a bit. It's too much.
I don't know the specifics about that particular area and depth and it's probably a multitude of factors, but what I said is probably part of it:
Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vents
Explore how the 1977 discovery of hydrothermal vent ecosystems in the deep ocean shocked scientists and redefined our understanding of the requirements for life.
Thanks for the link. The video says these vents only locally change the temperature and also mentions near-freezing depths. Pressure only keeps the hot water from boiling and flowing fast.I don't know the specifics about that particular area and depth and it's probably a multitude of factors, but what I said is probably part of it:

Lastly, some will have more stamina than others so they won't pass simultaneously. They'll watch as other people die until it gets to their turn. This is pure torture. Which body regulates this kind of tourism? This company will have a lot to answer for
That's a crappy track record. Why did it have to come to this before anyone took notice? Do they know how much field testing was done on the Titan before using it for deep sea diving. Just crazy. And you could never pay me enough to go on one of these dives.OceanGate Was Warned of Potential for ‘Catastrophic’ Problems With Titanic Mission
Experts inside and outside the company warned of potential dangers and urged the company to undergo a certification process.www.nytimes.com
Apparently a total of 3 trips including this one. 1 out of 3 time something went scarily wrong (getting lost for hours). 1 out of 3 time (this time) possibly fatal.

If hundreds of years of engineering disasters has shown anything it's that as long as money is involved meaningful change is hard won and short-lived.
That would depend on where it was found. It could literally be floating at the surface, we have no idea.
