The Titanic

That was the total.

Thank you.

If it imploded would debris rise to the surface?

Unlikely, some scraps might but they would be just that, tiny bits of scrap wreckage. The dome structure and titanium ring would go to the bottom. The rest of it would be in shreds and not have the buoyancy upthrust needed to ascend. Some bits might but they would be impossible to find. They will be scattered and very small.

I admit I've not really been following this very closely but feel sorry for all on board and their family and friends.
I just have a question though. As well as the 5 passengers how many crew are there on board?

1 pilot, the CEO and 3 passengers who've paid to go down. That's it.

Their air supplies would have run out roughly now right? I honestly don't think they will even find the vessel. If it imploded the carbon fibre will have come apart leaving just the titanium ring and dome structure at the front. Even if it was intact it is such a relatively small vessel ocean currents could have moved it almost anywhere.

At what point do you cut off from searching? It sounds cruel but the cost of searching must be already in the millions and has to be a consideration at some point. Coast guard assets also can't be all focussed just on this as they will eventually be needed elsewhere.

I doubt they'll find it now too.

A whole passenger jet can disappear without a trace over the ocean, the chances of finding this tiny sub now are slim sadly.

The ocean is a terrifying place.

what would the presure do to the human body unprotected at that depth?

Ah, thank you, I just kept reading about 5 people and at one stage I read a headline that said 5 passengers and I kept thinking well what about the crew. Thank you.
It is a very sad situation. I just can't understand why anyone would want to go down into the depths like that to basically look at a hunk of scrap metal. But each to his own.
If a miracle doesn't happen RIP to them all.

You really want to know the details to that? It's pretty gruesome, i'm not gonna lie.

Hopefully quick if that’s what happened

Would have thought similar to what happens to a fly when you swat it.
