      One of the submariners who was interviewed on the BBC said that they had dropped some of their weight, which means that they were trying to return to the surface when it happened. They said that one of the few safety measures that the CEO had included on the submersible was an alarm that told them if the hull was de-laminating (basically falling apart), which would have been what caused a catastrophic implosion. So he said that the CEO likely got the alarm and dropped the weights to try to deal with the emergency situation when it happened. So unfortunately, although the implosion itself would have been pretty much over within seconds, they knew that something bad was happening before they died 😔

    This is not exactly how the Titan sub was destroyed. When intact, the hull was acting as a protective shell and holding the weight of the column of water above it. When it failed, it was like putting an egg in a hydraulic press. The weight of the water instantly applied all of that pressure and crushed the passenger compartment to tiny bits. There was never a gradual pressure drop inside the cabin. One second it was holding the weight of the water and the next second it did not exist any longer.

    For people wondering about how terrifying or painful the last moments might have been for the passengers of the Titan submarine, it's likely they never even saw their end coming. Here's some quick Google information: The Titanic wreck is around 12,500 feet under water(~3.8km). It's estimated that the Titan was around 3,500 meters deep(~11,482.9 ft). At this depth hull failure would cause an instant implosion that would have lasted around a single millisecond. The estimated time for nerves in the body to send pain signals is around 150milliseconds. When the implosion happens, the air inside the sub rapidly heats to the point of combustion, flash frying everything within. Basically, these people were crushed and incinerated in less time than their body could process. Worst case scenario, they heard the early signs of hull failure and had a brief second to process their coming demise.
    Another tragic event to look into that could give insight into this-
    The Byford Dolphin Accident: A deep-sea drilling rig accident that occurred 508ft below water(154.8m)( a significantly lower number than the Titan sub incident). In this event a deep sea mining crew of 4 occupying a diving bell were killed instantly in an explosive decompression. The bodies of the 4 men were recovered, though one was only recovered in pieces. Due to a miscommunication a docking clamp was released prematurely causing an engineering failure and exposing the 4 divers inside to deep sea pressure. This sudden severe change in pressure project one diver out of the vessel through a 24" (60cm) wide(correction: meant to say length, there's definitely a difference...) crack in the door. The remaining 3 divers were cooked from the inside out by their blood being flash boiled within a few milliseconds. Death was instant.
    Also, to those looking to this video for an explanation of what happened, this is not the same kind of implosion. The implosion of the Titan sub was due to the extreme weight of the ocean depth bearing down on the sub hull. The hull eventually couldn't hold up and failed all at once. A better(though not fully accurate) representation for that kind of implosion you could do at home, would be stacking weights on an aluminum can(or other object of your choosing) until it eventually gives out. Once the point of failure is reached the weights will rapidly crush the object. This would only be representative of the hull failure however, and not the resulting gas and pressure reactions of a sub failure.

      you have been posting this all over the internet
      your knowledge of PV=nrt is misleading
      yes the air inside the sub was rapidly compressed when the hull failed, including the air in the crews lungs
      that does not mean the crew was instantly incinerated - you are totally ignoring thermodynamics - the heat from the highly compressed air (6000psi after compression) could not possibly transfer much heat into the bodies of the crew in a milli second. Even if the air temp changed to a thousand degrees the bodies were NOT compressed (except the air in their lungs) because a body is made of tissue and water, and water is not compressible. What did happen to their bodies is they were crushed, like you hit an ant with a 10 lb sledge hammer, instantly turned into a liquid goo and dispersed into the sea water. People have been in basements where there was a gas leak, which ignited, and blew the house off the foundation all around them in an exploding ball of fire. They lost their hair and eyebrows, and had minor 3rd degree burns on exposed skin, and they survived. You would need a nuclear blast to instantly incinerate an adult human body.
      Likewise with the scuba divers that were exposed to the rapid decompression in the diving bell - when you put water in a vacuum chamber and draw the pressure down to 0.1 PSI the water vaporizes and looks like it is boiling, but it is still at room temperature - it is not creating heat - the divers were not "cooked from the inside out" (as if they were in a giant microwave oven). The gasses in their blood vaporized out of saturation which causes air embolisms throughout the body, and you die. you are not cooked.
      And BTW, a door that is open 24" is wide enough to walk thru - that is two feet, not a crack.

      @@kenwittlief255 First of all, I have not posted this anywhere else but here. I had probably 20 tabs of articles and videos open about this when I typed it that I was referencing, so if you see this exact comment somewhere else that means a bot probably copied it or someone just trying to take credit (Happens a lot on CZcams)
      Also the 24" was my brain hiccupping on length vs width. Dunno why I said width but you're right, none of the articles I'm seeing actually established a width, they just say "24" long crescent shape".
      I looked into a few more articles and now I'm seeing various time of event estimates between 2ms- to less than 40ms, so the chain reaction of events would still be below the estimated time of the body's ability to register pain.(150ms)
      I guess maybe I misinterpreted being boiled when every article seems to want to use that phrase, so my apologies there.
      Here's some references and quotes for what I stated previously(these aren't to say you're wrong, but if they are wrong then you know where to direct your angry letters)(I can't paste links so this is the best I can do)-
      "The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapours.
      When the hull collapses, the air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion, Mr Corley says."
      - BBC:Titan sub implosion: What we know about catastrophic event
      "The fate of the four saturation divers inside was far worse. According to autopsy reports, three of the men inside the chamber - Edwin Arthur Coward, Roy P. Lucas and Bjørn Giæver Bergersen - were essentially "boiled" from the inside when the nitrogen in their blood violently erupted into gas bubbles. They died instantly."
      -HowStuffWorks:The Byford Dolphin Accident: How 5 Deep-Sea Divers Met Grisly Deaths

      ABC:What happens during a catastrophic implosion? Titan submersible occupants likely died instantly

      I had also seen something saying they were likely turned to ash and that's why there's no bodies, but now I can't find it so I guess I'll take the L there.

If there was a small crack or even the tiniest fault in the submarine, pressure would cause the implosion. The pressure is so intense towards the ocean floor that not even blue whales or military submarines can go too deep. We barely even have the technology to go that far down in the ocean as it is so to have 5 people in a makeshift sub for this long… things don’t look good. No underwater rescue has gone deeper than 1500 feet and this craft would be at 13,000, to put it into perspective.

      Basically, what happened was much more extreme than in this video, because the pressure differential was so much larger on account of being several kilometers under the water. It's safe to say that what the submarine experienced was a true implosion, that is to say, an explosion, but going _inwards._
