The Titanic

[SkyBlueFlux]

I’m not sure I recall the exact circumstances, but didn’t the divers from the Byford Dolphin accident die through a high pressure accident whilst deep sea diving?

This did remind me of that but that was kind of the other way round.

During the depressurisation routine somebody undid a latch and it explosively decompressed. Meaning all the air rushed out of the chamber they were in causing them to kind of explode from the inside out, whereas these poor bastards will have been crushed akin to getting clapped by multi-tonne weights.m

Equally unpleasant though for all involved.

The minging submersible was called "Titan".

So is a choclate bar in aldi

At those pressures, what happens to the human body? Apologies for being graphic. Does the human body explode,does it get squashed flat, or is it something else?

Two questions in one:

If a human entered the water and sank to these depths, the result would be externally essentially the same as at surface - your thoracic cavity would be internally destroyed, but the body wouldn’t be crushed like a tin can.

In a circumstance like this where even though it’s an implosion it’s still a rapid decompression, most likely the body ripped apart..

Key would be that you’d be dead before you had a clue what had happened, so mercifully it would literally be a case of blink and you’d be gone.

Last sentence sums it up. As gruesome as it, they'll have been dead before their brains could comprehend what was happening. The families will doubtless be grief-stricken but at least knowing they didn't suffer offers some degree of solace.

Just imagine that the Titanic lookout had seen the iceberg earlier, or raised the alarm quicker , the captain had slowed down, or turned the wheel in the opposite direction then the Titanic wouldn't be where it is today, the timeline would be completly different . Decisions made a hundred years ago still shaping the history of the Titanic today .

Fate. It's a simultaneously wondrous and frightening thing mate.

Couple of questions

Why do you believe the body would not cave in?
Why do you believe there would be a rapid decompression?

It would be an implosion. so crushed like a tin can at depth..decompression is when you surface, so a potential explosion..all depends on the depth it happened at and circumstances, but with debris on the sea bed sounds like an
implosion. Feel we will never know the truth.. but that window at the front not being approved for the depth must have been a a major risk. Hopefully they died quickly..Very sad.

If the titanic hadn’t sank, that means the film wouldn’t have been made, which means I wouldn’t have had a very pleasant night with some lass from work who was going through a separation.

Mad how shit works.

And we'd never have seen Kate's Norks

If you look at it the other way, if the Titanic hadn't of sunk, you might not have been born.

Or coined the phrase ‘paint me like your French girls’.

 

[journolud]

And we'd never have seen Kate's Norks

Apart from in all those other films she got them out in.

What?! Where?

Well we know the body wouldn’t be crushed like a tin can as scientists have done these experiments - below is an alligator they dropped to the bottom of the ocean and externally the appearance is not affected, now of course it’s an alligator not a human, but the effects would be the same externally - of course internally as said your rib cage would cave in and your thoracic cavity would be pulp.

Rapid decompression is probably the wrong term - rapid change of pressure more accurate!

I have no idea what depth that croc is at but at the depths the titanic is at, they would have been crushed, no question.
Decompressionwas the wrong word, should have been rapid compression

The butterfly effect, indeed.

This has made me extremely sad. Human beings proving yet again that they are a disgusting stain on Planet Earth.

You would have done, it just would have been Harry Potter or whatever other film was out at the time

The alligators they used were already long dead, FYI.
