The OceanGate submersible disaster is over. The Titan seacraft that supposedly could submerge to depths to view the Titanic wreck imploded, killing all five members onboard. It disappeared on Sunday, June 18, leading to a days-long search by US Coast Guard and Canadian military units to find the craft. On June 20, there was some hope, as noises were heard in the vicinity where the submersible disappeared. It was false hope; the noises were natural in origin. On June 22, it was concluded that there were no survivors when a debris field 1,600 feet from the wreck's bow was discovered, containing pieces undeniably part of OceanGate’s submersible. Also, they had run out of oxygen that morning.
The families of Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood, Stockton Rush, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet have closure. They also didn’t suffer, barely having time to comprehend what was happening before being turned into liquefied remains that are now part of the ecosystem. The video gets into the details, which can be macabre sometimes, but it’s also somewhat incredible how quickly this tragic incident ended. All five men died in less than a millisecond, possibly a nanosecond.
To put this into perspective, the video below shows how fast that is. The time it takes for the human body to process pain is about 100 milliseconds. It takes you 13 milliseconds to process “visual imagery.” You can see where this is going: none of these guys knew what happened to them. There was no suffering. And it is well because how they died is brutal.
This implosion was something like a massive pressure cooker as well. When the craft’s structure failed due to the immense pressure of diving 12,500 feet, the air bubble inside compressed, causing a massive spike in temperature, roughly 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit: the sun's surface. The video points out that if anything were left, the remains would be gelatinous and expelled through the many cracks and crevices of the damaged submersible.
Chunky salsa.

Liquefied soylent green?
Amen. Atomized before your brain even processes the visual data from your eyes is the among the best ways to die from the dead’s point of view. It’s also chilling. Got to hope they were right with God.
RIP to them.
How … inspiring.
Exactly like what old white guy engineers aren’t, apparently.
Why does the end of that first paragraph say, “Also they had run out of oxygen that morning.”? Isn’t that rather stupid in light of the fact that it was determined the vessel had imploded on Sunday?🤦🤦🤦
You don’t need any type of shrapnel to enhance the deadly and destructive power of an implosion like that.
And if the people in the submersible had communicated to the mothership that they were attempting to ascend shortly before the implosion occurred, they likely weren’t happy campers before they died.
That employee/volunteer there is probably a great representative of who they employed. I have only seen two employees since the tragedy and they were both young hippy-ish girls. Certainly NOT anyone who I would put my life and safety in the hands of.
Maybe time to say, “What’s that crunching sound”?
The submersible had hull sensors, but sub experts I've seen commenting on the implosion didn't think they would give an advanced notice. CF shatters when it fails.
Well in a larger sense aren't we all part of the ecosystem that is this planet.
You’re right. The article should have read: “they would have run out of oxygen.”
There were reports that it was communicated to the mothership that the submersible was heavy and attempting to ascend shirtly before an acoustic event detected moments later followed by no further contact.
If that reporting is accurate, they likely suspected something was very wrong.
The eight hours that passed before ant notification was made is very telling to my mind.
What went on during that eight hours.
Oh, so there are two more subs. Who is signing for the next ocean adventure with Oceangate?
Last words, “What does this button do?”
Where did you see that? This makes it more interesting. Yes, why the 8 hour wait unless they thought it would reappear at the top?
This indicates author doesn't really have a clue. How does the rest of the article stand?
LOL...
Friends, don’t let friends...
