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.
There are worse ways to go, and at least a couple of these guys died doing what they loved best. Small comfort to their families and loved ones, but it’s something.
Fish food.
In terms of energy, what they experienced was equivalent to being in a pressure vessel the size of an SUV, and having on the floor in the center of the SUV a bomb made of a bit less than 60 pounds of TNT, and that bomb explodes.
That amount of TNT equivalent energy is calculated on the basis of an estimated implosion depth of 8000 feet.
Not even fish food. What was left after the implosion would have been the cellular contents of their tissues; not even cell membranes would have remained intact. They would have been homogenized.
What happened to the bodies is the scavengers and bone worms got them. There probably isn’t anything left of them at all.
Meat paste.
the key here is an army of regulators and a library of regulators would’ve prevented this tragedy-
just see the FAA and the Boeing Max as a shining example.
Better than owning a Bayliner, anyway.
They were “Smallerized”.
If I were ‘family’, the greatest comfort right now would be that it happened so fast the folks didn’t have time to know or register what hit them.
Anyone who has seen a person die a long, slow death will understand that.
My mother died last year. Had a stroke, was paralyzed on one side, couldn't speak. She recognized everyone, and seemed to comprehend her situation. She soon started having some kind of seizures and hallucinations, so we had to drug her heavily, so she could rest. After a couple months, C-diff infections set in. After several rounds of that, she passed away, 10 months after her stroke, weighing less than 70 lbs
My point - if God decides its your time, dying in a millisecond is a blessing.
Jack Dawson, I imagine, would've arrived to the ocean floor relatively intact as every cell in his body filled with water and the pressure differential equalized.
Same reason they've found intact musical instruments like violins and pianos in the wreckage.
Pink toothpaste.
Chum
Musical instruments, crockery, etc., would not undergo any violent implosion event. Violin cases are not generally hermetically sealed, especially not violin cases made more than 100 years ago.
Not even that happened.
Run through a blender at 25,000 RPM, and what remains forced through a Millipore filter.
At 10,000 Plus degrees they were obliterated into nothing in a millisecond. More like being hit with a Photon Torpedo close up or a Phaser on full blast, just nothing left.
Wrong sub photo...that picture is the “Cyclops”...Oceangate had 3+ subs:
