Well, that oughta do it for any future sight-seeing trips to the Titanic.
RIP, folks. That sounds like a horrible way to go.
“Debris field” implies an implosion. Which means death was almost instantaneous. So really not such a horrible way to go.
The alternative is what would have been HORRIBLE. Sitting cross-legged for 3 days with no toilet all while gradually running out of oxygen. That would have been unimaginably horrible.
Are you sure.? I bet any day now there will be $300K tickets to see the wreck of the Titan submersible.
At 200 atmospheres I doubt they even saw it coming.
RIP. Till the sea shall give up her dead.
If it imploded, they likely felt noting as it took onnly a few milliseconds.
That was the best-case scenario for them and their loved ones short of their being recovered alive. They died in a fraction of a second, far faster than their brains could have processed what was going on.
“Well, that oughta do it for any future sight-seeing trips to the Titanic.”
Such a pessimist.
If you think of the glass as half full, this creates fantastic opportunities to run submersible tours to view the debris field of the Titan.
You could call the submersible the “Ic”.
Actually, their deaths would have been near instantaneous.
thats about 6100 psi worth of quickness!!
No. It will do it from THIS company.
Other companies don’t cut corners and avoid getting their crafts tested and follow all regulations.
Its still dangerous even doing all that, but its far less so than not doing it.
My understanding is they were dead in two seconds. When the Scorpion sank I read they calculated the implosion destroyed the entire sub and killed all on board in 56 seconds.
