Current Events > Do you think anyone was still alive on the submarine when it imploded?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Must have been terrifying. The oxygen ran out before though, right?

Belief was they were prolly incinerated almost instantly with heat levels reaching well over 10000 degrees

Crazy.

Implosion is sad but mercifully swift less than the time it took you to click on this response

2nd to worst idea ever: Getting on the Titanic.
Worst idea ever. Going in a submarine to see the Titanic.

i don't think it's possible to survive that even for a second.

edit - i misread the topic title, if what i understand is actually correct, the sub imploded pretty much immediately after losing contact with it's lead ship, in that case it was only like 2 hours into the journey. they were alive at the time of the implosion.

nah it almost certainly imploded on the initial descent. idk how fast that would happen in seconds but they probably died within seconds of whatever critical malfunction happened

If I understand the situation, I think they had to have been alive at the moment of implosion. I don't think they were losing air. What killed them is that the structural integrity of the vessel failed

They may or may not have noticed warning signs right before it happened, but once it did happen, they would just suddenly been deleted from rhe world. Supposedly there would not have even been enough time for their brains to register it was happening

No chance. If the implosion doesn't kill them the water pressure and lack of oxygen will.

The "running out of oxygen" thing was only ever a ploy by the media to get views. They died the moment contact was lost with the sub an hour and a half after they started their dive.

If the title was unclear, I meant at the moment before the implosion, do you believe the ship members were alive and conscious? I suppose they were from the posts. I had thought the oxygen had run out and they were suffocating, but I guess implosion happened much earlier than that. Horrifying.

How exactly does an implosion happen?

The weight of the water crushes the sub like a tin can in a fraction of a second.

water is so freaking HEAVY

think about what would happen if you put a 300lb weight on an egg

thats what the ocean does when youre deep in it, so you need really good eggs

This whole thing made me realize that in some ways the bottom of the ocean is scarier than being in space maybe

The pressure of water increases as you sink deeper in it.
From Google:
"Water pressure is the result of the weight of all the water above pushing down on the water below. As you go deeper into a body of water, there is more water above, and therefore a greater weight pushing down. This is the reason water pressure increases with depth."

They were attempting to go down to the ocean floor to reach this ship. Think of all the weight of the water above them. Think of all that pressure on the body when the integrity of the ship fails. Squished like marshmallows.

Space and the ocean are insane. Humans can't really go that far without a lot of protection.

Probably happened faster than their brains could register what was happening.

in the last moments if they saw anything in the last seconds is noises. and a flash of light when the implosion happened.

They never even came close to the point of running out of oxygen. As others said, it is extremely likely they died as soon as they lost contact with the ship. It would have happened so fast they wouldn't even have had a chance to react. They died faster than you can blink.

No. The thing imploded before we even heard of it. That's why it was missing.

They were all alive one second, and gone the next.

Their capsule basically became 2D from the force. The eggs and squashed cans explanations don't do justice

Wild. It would be crazy to see that.

The implosion happens in a fraction of a second, much faster than human nerve endings can carry information to the brain. They were literally cooked and crushed before they even knew they were dead.

I do wonder if any fish live down there. If so, they must had the shit scared out of them, assuming they weren't caught in the blast

Think of a hydraulic press going down on a tube of toothpaste

Except it takes less than a second

Sunlight does not reach the depth the sub was at, so the fish saw nothing. They probably sensed the water ripple, though.
Fish that were close to the implosion were probably pulled into the void where the sub used to be and might've been injured or killed from slamming into submarine pieces.

if they somehow survive an implosion theres nothing in this universe that can kill those godlike entities. They could walk on the sun as it goes supernova and fight off Goku and Superman at the same time and win

Well, hypothetically the implosion generated light so the fish were probably very confused for a second.

oh, incredible heat? from what, though? did not know that

Not a chance.

I see they actually added the blood detail. I've seen something similar, but the blood is new

amazing and terrible. We are nothing against the laws of physics.

No, it imploded during their descent, most likely when they lost contact with it 90 mins or so into the descent.

Their deaths would have actually been one of the best ways to die (not that there's any actually good way to die, but I'm talking about in terms of suffering). With how quickly the implosion was and how the air ignited to the temperatures of the sun they were vaporized before they even knew something was wrong because the amount of time it takes for the implosion to happen is literally shorter than either our pain receptors or eyes can process something.

They would have existed one moment, and then all of a sudden not the next, from their perspective.

Now, the CEO was probably having thoughts of something potentially going wrong at some point because in 2018 I think that same submersible had a ton of red flags he just chose to ignore, even fired the person who pointed them out, cause capitalism, but it wouldn't have been like in the movies where you see a crack in the glass and water slowly pours in or whatever. It took 1 millisecond for the implosion to happen.

they would turn to paste as soon as the hull was compromised to even out pressure. instantly they'd be destroyed at the same time the sub would break.

Mercifully, their deaths were instant and probably without too much warning.

The implosion happened 90 minutes into the dive. They still had days of oxygen left when it imploded. The weight being pressed on them was something like 14.5 pounds per square inch multiplied by every 10 meters when they were around 300 meters deep.

Sheesh. Squished like bugs.
