I’ll say they “bonded”.

Explorer O.E. Gandy stands in his iron suit, weighing 540 pounds, before making a dive where he would reach a depth of 230 feet. 1907.

His dad put lots of pressure on him to bond.
Bummer if the chain snapped.
Can anyone tell me the truth about the alleged tapping sound that was reportedly heard during the search? Turns out the sub had already imploded, and everyone was dead. So where was the tapping coming from? Was there really a tapping sound, or was that just a lie?
“His dad put lots of pressure on him to bond.”
It was worth it. I’m sure they are just like that now (holds up crossed fingers)
Their surely bonded now...
Sound travels easier in solids and liquids than in air.
Sounds can travel immense distances under water and especially deep cold waters, like there.
It could have been a workman on a ship repairing something a hundred miles away...
Notice the bolted on top half................
He bonded.
It was wishful thinking...if there was actual tapping from the vessel, it would have been something intelligible, like an SOS.
My best guess is that bones would become pulp.
Worked with submersibles in Monterey Bay CA. A favorite demo of pressure was to send foam coffee cups and manikin heads to depth. All gasses got crushed out. A coffee cup came back as a shot glass.
Right.
I used to have a tiny styrofoam cup on my desk!
A joke going around is that the name of the submersible was the SS-Pride, and it was manufactured out of “repurposed Bud Lite cans”.
One gallon of water weighs a little over 8 pounds (sea water would be a bit heavier due to salinity). A typical one gallon water jug is about 10" high.
At 12,000' below the surface that would be like having the weight of 14,400 gallon jugs stacked on top of your head, or using the conservative 8 lb x gallon figure, 115,200 lbs. (57.6 tons) pressing straight down on your head in the area sized the base of a milk jug...but that doesn't even paint the full picture. Even if that weight was a solid (i.e, 57.6 tons of ice) the body would be crushed, but water is of course a fluid, so that same pressure is not just pushing down on top of their head, but simultaneously compressing the body from pretty much every direction.
I suspect there is very little left of their bodies that is even remotely recognizable as human tissue.
They are together in Gods hands.
Had no idea what he was getting into
