The Titanic

[LangleyBlue1970]

Hopefully quick if that’s what happened

Someone said earlier the thread if it happened they wouldn’t even have had time to realise what was going on.

With it at this stage now you can only hope that is what happened. No suffering.

having thought about it i'd asume break every bone in the body, we'l leave it there i think

Spoiler

Blood boils, heart explodes due the increased blood pressure, every cavity decompresses especially those in the face, lungs and intestines. That's only if the body is exposed to the underwater pressure. Since they're inside the submersible, they'd just be crushed instantly which we don't think happened due to hearing the banging sounds yesterday. 'Hopefully' (using that term loosely), they'll have succumbed to hypoxia.

read something like this about planes,in a head on collision between two planes the brain couldnt process whats happening fast enough you wouldnt see the cockpit crumble and disintergrate if you were sat on the back seat,over in milliseconds

I wonder if they were able to open the door from inside the vessel, if so I would have taken drowning over being trapped in a tin can.

Apparently drowning can occur within a minute or so, I’d take that over slow suffocation.

Just like the victims who jumped off the World Trade Centre roof rather than be consumed by fire and a collapsing building, lesser of two evils.

You're bolted inside the submersible from the outside to avoid rapid decompression.

Only way out is someone removing the bolts once you reach the surface.

Even if you could get out at that depth you wouldn't drown, you'd get crushed to death

I went on HMS Conqueror in the Falklands it was in dock and wasn’t underwater, absolutely no way you could pay me enough to go on that for 3 months, it takes a special kind of person to serve on subs.

Went on Astute a couple of times when it was being built at Barrow and Vengeance while having an overhaul at Devonport. Company I worked for supplied many higher pressure air valves for navy subs. Wouldn't like to be on one for more than a couple of hours.

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

It's about 300 bar pressure 3 km under water. It would be messy.

You have to think in terms of gasses and rapid compression. Most of your body is saturated in liquid so it would be fine. But your lungs and sinuses etc all would collapse inward instantly. Not that messy but quick.
