Yeah, they weren’t obliterated. Just like Udau and Qusay Hussein weren’t obliterated when the Marines fired TOW missiles into their compound. Or tank crews aren’t obliterated when they take a direct hit. The human body is mostly made of water which means it’s mostly incompressible, which means it isn’t affected as much as one might expect in events involving sudden extreme pressure changes. They were killed instantly but they weren’t turned into pink goo.

And people talk about the sudden compression of the air in the hull causing the temperature to instantly rise to 10,000 degrees. Well, okay, maybe it did, but how long could that temperature have lasted when all the air was expelled in a fraction of a second into a bajillion trillion gallons of 38-degree seawater?

Not long, I’d say, so there are probably bones, clothing, and pieces of tissue large enough to identify still remaining.
