The sub went missing while carrying five people to the wreckage of the Titanic.
Apparently the debris found was “a landing frame and rear cover from the submersible”. So it sounds like they didn’t have to suffer slowly.
I’m surprised by the amount of people who thought they would die from running out of oxygen in 96 hours or whatever it was. At that depth the tiniest structural failure and that sardine can is going to blow into pieces, including the occupants.
They were dead days ago when they first went missing.
A few innocent people are the victims of one conman’s dream of selling titanic tours.At that depth the tiniest structural failure and that sardine can is going to blow into pieces
The opposite of blowing up, actually.
Not sure I’d call him a con man, if he believed in it himself. He was on the ship, if I heard right.
So he conned himself. A common thing for grifters when their schemes aren’t actually that smart.
(but at least he got that jawbreaker)
He was conning himself too. He was too excited to be doing something that he didn’t care to listen to warnings or heed regulations. He wanted to be a trailblazer, but his eyes were bigger than his plate, if you will.
Yes, there has been successful trips that he’s taken tourists down to the titanic and back. However, his track record isn’t rock solid. His original design wasn’t rated for the depths he was going. It wasn’t until a whistleblower came out (which he retaliated against by firing btw) that the submersible porthole was redesigned. Who knows if the “redesign” was actually rated for the depths he was travelling. All we know is that he “replaced” it.
This is the same person that said safety regulations stifle innovation. Yeah, regulations might slow down innovation but you know… they’re intended to keep people alive. The Titan wasn’t certified by any governing body to travel to the depths it was going.
He didn’t fully disclose to his travelers what they were getting themselves into. People say they had to sign a waiver. There’s a waiver I got to sign to a eat spicy chicken sandwich at a local restaurant joint. I got to sign a waiver to park my car in a parking lot. You think 100% of people actually read them? It’s just like software terms and conditions. Scroll to the bottom and accept.
Not meaning to be callous when I say this - but these people paid $250k to do this trip. If you have that kind of money, you certainly have the means to do your due diligence on figuring out if a trip like this is safe.
The possibility that was haunting me was that the Titan might have surfaced but couldn’t communicate its location, so the passengers were just bobbing along, trapped and running out of oxygen, while searchers simply didn’t find them in time.
I guess the other nightmare would’ve been if the Titan got caught on something deep underwater and couldn’t surface or communicate even though the submersible was intact.
As it was, I assume/hope they didn’t know what was about to happen and didn’t suffer.
It is definitely some nightmare fuel for sure!
Source? I’m really curious to see what they found.
Hell yeah, UTC gang rise up.
good. hopefully the media can stop pushing this nonsense 24/7. i wonder if the families will pay for the millions of dollars wasted in searching for these selfish idiots? who knowingly signed up for this death trap?
at least emergency services in my area charge idiots for rescues. fuck around in the White mountains and you can end up paying six figures or more for a rescue. which is as it should be. they don’t however, charge for legitimate rescues.
This complete and utter lack of compassion is something I’d expect to see on Reddit. How unfortunate this mindset seems to have tagged along in the migration. Show some damn humanity.
The complete and utter lack of understanding as to why people may react in the way the person you’re replying to boggles my mind. Are you willfully ignorant of how destructive billionaires can be on society? Are you completely neglecting how negligent the CEO of this diving company was about their own safety?
Instead of wagging your finger from your pedestal, spend some time understanding why so many people share this type of reaction.
Personally, I’m proud of having more empathy and humanity than a billionaire.
lol bro. You don’t have to like the rich class to have basic human empathy for other people
I’m not saying you can’t have empathy for other people. I’m saying you should probably understand better as to why people have the reaction they do
Because people like to act shallow and just put other people into grouos they hate regardless of actually knowing anyone form that group?
Gee, that’s always works well for everyone.
murderers are a group.
should they have the receive the same level of empathy, of say, teachers. also a group.
There was a single billionaire on that sub. Just one. There were two businessmen, one with his son, and a well known diver. It wasn’t a sub full of billionaires. Certainly they were all wealthy, no question there. But your reaction can only be “Good, they deserved it” if you think the deaths of the others (including the 19 year-old, who had no control over what family he was born into) are worth the death of the billionaire.
It’s a response fundamentally lacking in empathy. You’re asking us to have empathy for the person who isn’t displaying empathy.
Sure, he cut a lot of safety corners. This is the epitome of “fuck around and find out”. It’s even ironic.
But we can still have empathy. Being stupid about it doesn’t mean that they didn’t leave families behind.
i think people who willing put themselves into a dangerous situation deserve what is coming to them, yes.
empathy has shit to do with it. i have empathy for people who do the right things and suffer, not for people who do stupid/wrong things and suffer.
i fail to get what moral standing there is for empathizing with people who do stupid shit that ends up endangering others.
god forbid there be negative consequences for negative actions…
if you think feeling bad for others no matter the context is some sort of moral achievement… bully you. i call it grandstanding.
do you also have empathy for a drunk driver who murders a family of four and gets away with minor injuries?
people tend to have endless empathy for those that they worship. and total disregard for anyone else.
it’s bootlicking of tragedy.
@smokinjoe @Girlparts @Turkey_Titty_city @EnderWi99in This is what Internet White Knighting looks like.
Ender’s heart is in the right place, but his head is up his ass.
Lol you have no idea what white knighting means you moron.
@EnderWi99in @Girlparts @Turkey_Titty_city @smokinjoe
Funnily enough, I do.
It’s funny you think that. Go back to Reddit.
Agreed, and the fact that the hateful parent comment is still sitting at the top of the thread also makes me concerned for kbin’s ranking algorithm.
At the moment it has 28 “upvotes” and 51 “downvotes,” which on reddit would have it buried and hidden at the bottom. Here it’s remained the top comment since the article was posted.
Possibly because it has three “boosts”? I don’t understand the difference between boosts and votes. But this site is going to have to do something about it, because normal people are going to run from this place if this kind of sociopathic content is elevated here.
From what I’ve read, on kbin boost is upvote, upvote is “favorite”, and downvote does nothing but put a number there. At least that’s what’s happening for now, it may be a bug or will be changed in the future.
I saw one user get heavily downvoted and I looked at their reputation and it was a large negative number. Sure it’s just internet points, but it’s something I could automatically detect and block with a script someday.
It seems a downvote on a post affects your reputation negatively, while an upvote does not. Boosting a post and/or comment increases your reputation score instead. The scheme is weird. I posted a video a couple days ago that had over a dozen upvotes but 2 downvotes. My reputation score was -2.
I realize they’re internet points, but I went ahead and boosted all my comments since kbin doesn’t do it automatically yet. My reputation score was in the teens after that. It’s a work in progress system, and already known. Apparently a fix is under way.
That explains why so many people have negative reputation on their profile for no apparent reason. It definitely needs to be changed because this current system just disproportionately favors negative rep
for the most part people will take up arrow as upvote and down arrow as downvote, and will never really look past that.
Agreed. I was really enjoying the lack of reddit-style constant negativity permeating the tops of threads for a while, but seems like every day it’s been getting worse.
you mean the same ‘normal people’ who ruined reddit by turning into a place where no dissent and disagreement is tolerated and just want to look at pictures of cute cats to ‘cultivate positivity’?
not everyone wants to live in ‘curated’ world. some normal people like a variety of opinions and perspectives, and don’t see the work through the lens of kindergarten classroom rules.
I have zero compassion for people who claim any safety measures taken are ridiculous, pay extraoridinary amounts of money to do something stupid, and potentially cause the death of a young kid.
And then waste extraordinary resources in public funding to “fix” it.
Hope these families get charged for every dollar.
exactly. these people are a blight on society. why should so many resources be wasted on their egos just because they have fat bank accounts?
sadly too many people are bootlickers who think the wealthy and their awful lifestyles are something to be worshipped. i would wager most of the empathy pushers here have zero empathy for the migrants on the boats… because those people had no wealth.
sad truth is we live in a world where your moral worth or empathy worth is directly tied to your financial worth. a few rich people dying is a tragedy to dwell on, hundreds of poor people dying is not worth a thought.
I personally think the empathy pushers are just bad faith actors.
Misplaced empathy (if genuine) is just as nuclear as fascist takeover.
Empathizing with the utterly cruel and utterly dumb is how you can’t tell anymore who is truly kind and generous.
yep. they are the ones whining and saying ‘why can’t we bury/block/ignore this bad person and their bad comments’.
the people who police negativity are the ones who are subscribe to proto fascism because the underlining feeling/though is ‘get in line or get lost’.
they don’t have empathy, they just have moralizing/policing of empathy to boost themselves up and put down others, because they live a fragile and delusional world that cannot tolerate difference of opinion or perspective.
the shittiest part of reddit is how so many subs an the entire site became overrun with people who have the mentality of toddlers and start going around policing the ‘always be nice to everyone at all times’ and ‘don’t say anything that might upset someone’ and fail to see how fucked up and facist that sort of regime always becomes as it marginalizes anyone outside of the dominate group and often perpetuates destructive points of view.
or even more simple, it’s the people who have ‘empathy’ for the homeless but pass laws criminalizing homelessness and refuse to allow shelters or other resources in their communities. feeling bad for someone doesn’t make you a good person. doing good things does.
It’s not some exclusively Reddit behaviour - it’s just that much common, unfortunately.
the complete disregard of human beings who don’t have tons of financial wealth and the worship and waste of those who do, that is something you think is positive?
you simple don’t regard the poor as human. a very common perspective.
“good” “selfish idiots”
Such disregard for life is unjustifiable and inexcusable - I don’t know what values you aspire to live by, but celebrating death or wishing punitive suffering on anyone is certain to perpetuate harm.
It’s tragic that people died regardless of the lives they lead. I have no love for the ultra wealthy, and this event overshadowing the capsized migrant boat highlights our collective hypocrisy, but celebrating death & suffering is a self-destructive and socially regressive action that I hope fewer people do. Instead of directing your ire towards the individuals who died I hope that you and other readers direct that frustration towards the systemic failures those individuals embodied, and I hope you find a way use that anger for constructive action towards a better world.
oh ok. so we should just make everyone immortal forever then.
think through what you are saying and you might realize the absurdity of it.
They signed a waiver, so when the sub went missing, that shoulda been the end of it. Because you can’t argue with a waiver.
Liability waiver are not the end all, be all of legal action. If the company was negligent that is not going to be covered in the waiver. There are also other caveats that may be relevant to if the waiver is valid and enforceable. I’d be curious about which jusisdiction’s laws apply.
Not only can you absolutely argue with a waiver (and I’m sure the families will), but that’s only an agreement between the company and the customer, not the customer and the governmental agencies involved in the rescue.
Honestly the best case scenario for all involved is the hull shattering and instantly killing them all.
Practically every other outcome is a slow death knowing you’re going to die but can’t do anything about it.
I mean I’m pretty many, many scenarios involving surviving would have been better.
Since I heard about this whole fiasco I’m more and more dumbfounded.
There was this guy, who invented a way to dive for cheap (he listens to the carbon, and if there is a suspicious sound then he quickly comes back to the surface), complaining about the regulations which were holding submarines back. He fired the whistleblower who made reports about the danger of the equipment. He was fired and escorted outside.
Make him a meme, let’s call him the “I told you so” guy. Surely he will be invited in TV shows about this whole affair.
The equipment, a game console controller? Seriously? Gaming equipment is simple: It’s about 3% return policy. Depends on the brand. The people who swear that game controllers are safe are among the 97% who never had a return. They are the people who answers “mine works” on a forum when someone ask why his controller failed. If your game controller is broken, the service is : we send you a new one under 48 hours.
--> This service policy doesn’t work at 3800m under the water, folks! This is not the right equipment. What kind of person bets the life of 4 people on gaming equipment?? We all know why he did it, because he hates regulations and he hates paying a premium on redundant equipment. He is in for the money, nothing else. So let’s cut the costs on the hardware, let’s not listen to anyone and let’s not purchase the product of the engineers who designed equipment specially with these constraints in mind.
From time to time there is always a guy who pops-up and believes that regulations are made by people with too much free time in their hands.
The game controller thing gets meme’d to death, but I don’t think people focus on the right thing.
Xbox controllers are also used by the US Navy, among other branches of the military.
These are GOOD pieces of engineering, and they’re tested by millions of users under pretty strenuous conditions. However, the controller the Oceangate was using was some shitty-ass third-party controller that you can get for peanuts off Amazon.
THAT, IMO, is the issue that this piece of equipment illustrates. A solid Xbox Series S controller is $60 on Amazon, and you’re telling me you had to go for cheaper?
I don’t think the fact that the controller was wireless gets highlighted enough. Bluetooth devices have a hard time working above sea level and you’re expecting it to work 3800m below the surface. Delusional.
BT devices got problems only when water is in between anetna1 and antena2. It does not matter at what altitude the devices are, just what is inbetween them.
What if they command something in the water? Have you seen the design?
Well yes, if they use something in a way specifically contraindicated by the nature of the technology then that’s problematic.
Do you have evidence that this was the case, or are you moving the goal posts to the “no shit sherlock” zone for an easy win?Do you have evidence that this was the case, or are you moving the goal posts to the “no shit sherlock” zone for an easy win?
Don’t put on me your burden of proof.
Well yes, if they use something in a way specifically contraindicated by the nature of the technology then that’s problematic.
Well, turns out they did. So now that we have established that they don’t follow protocol, are you going to show us their design or are you going to reddit your way out of this conversation?
Source that they did? I’ve seen nothing to support that to date.
or are you going to reddit your way out of this conversation?
Wtf? Was that an attempt at condescension?
If you want to command something in the water, you run a wire from that something to a receiver in the cabin.
Right, exactly. Or for a “sub” that only holds 5 people… maybe just spend the 10 cents and wire it lol.
I mean, the sub had reached Titanic several times, right?
So even without the design documents, we know it was previously capable of operating at depth.
Which we means we know the hull wasn’t made of cotton candy, we know it wasn’t propelled under water by an internal combustion engine, and we know it wasn’t controlled by a device that stops working in water.
OK. Explain why they would have more trouble working at that depth.
https://www.microwavejournal.com/articles/34816-underwater-wireless-communication-using-em-waves
Now it’s your turn, tell us what make you think that it would work as usual.
That’s dealing with communication through the water. Presumably the controller wouldn’t have water between it and its receiver under ideal conditions.
Show it. “Presumably” won’t cut it.
For the records, so far the only one with a source is me.
Your link is for wireless transmissions going through water. In this case, it’s still going through air.
It’s not the altitude or depth that matters, it’s the medium through which the signal goes. It will work just fine, from a technical standpoint.
That being said, wireless things are inherently unreliable compared to wired, and it’s stupid to make something so important not as reliable as possible.
It’s not the altitude or depth that matters, it’s the medium through which the signal goes. It will work just fine, from a technical standpoint.
I know that. What makes you think that the other part was not in the water? Do you have any source for that?
Well - how about out if the receiver is on the the hull - and the bluetooth signals don’t have to travel through any water?
Maybe. And? Don’t overthink it, I’m answering to someone who boldly claimed:
“OK. Explain why they would have more trouble working at that depth”
and who is long gone btw.
You were replying to me. I’m still here.
Does higher air pressure affect Bluetooth signals?
Also, buy better Bluetooth devices, I haven’t had to deal with disconnections with quality modern gear outside of battery issues. My first run steam controller hasn’t given me any issues with wireless connections while playing, and all of my headphones stay connected to the proper device even when I’m stupid far away (like, I left my phone in the car and I didn’t notice any drop in quality until after I entered the store).
Also, backups: the controller doesn’t bother me that much UNLESS they had no redundancies for it failing plus checklists. I.E. controller battery dies, use second controller, use wired controller, use control screen, etc. And backup mechanical linkages for critical stuff. I don’t know the details but if they lacked these things, then they are (were) definitely morons.
For what it’s worth, in one of the old videos the CEO did, he mentioned that they kept two or three of the controllers on board. I think the stuff about game controllers and RV gear is overblown and almost certainly not what caused the problem. The bigger issue to me is the fact that they picked “exotic” materials for the pressure vessel (which while strong, are more brittle and fail more dramatically than steel), didn’t get them properly tested or certified, and if they somehow had been found adrift, put no engineering effort into escape or communication in an emergency.
Though thinking about it, I guess the game controller thing is relevant, at least to the extent it points at a pennywise and pound-foolish operation trying to value-engineer a business to go to the bottom of the god-damn ocean. Carbon fiber and tungsten sound amazing, until you realize that a big part of using them was to create a vessel big enough for 5 that was also small and light enough that it could be toted aboard any ship they could rent, and would then be set free from its launch sled by dudes undoing bungee cords.
The thing is that if they cheap out on one area then you have to think “what else did they skimp on?” Like if they’re that careless about what you can see you should be terrified of what you can’t.
And it’d be one thing if we were all just laughing at some tech bro fulfilling his wacky dream and using some odd parts, its a totally different conversation now that we know the sub imploded. The guy probably cut every corner possible and if those people with him had said “hey, this sub uses shitty consumer grade parts, I’m out” they would be alive still.
The whistleblower said they would pay for the windows rated for something like 1400 meters and refused to pay for the ones rated for 4000 meters. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/21/1183408455/titan-missing-submarine-oceangate-submersible
sled by dudes undoing bungee cords.
“Military uses bungee cords, therefore it works!” /kbin
I mean, it wasn’t the bungee cords’ fault either. Just sad all around, really, especially the 19 year old who was either dragged along or shouldn’t have been indulged.
According to the kid’s aunt, he’d told a relative he was terrified and didn’t really want to go, and the only reason he went is because it was on Father’s Day weekend and he wanted to make his dad happy.
The military uses them for autonomous vehicles. There is no risk of loss of life involved if they fail. They also aren’t the only control mechanism.
The guy wasn’t a military. The guy doesn’t like regulations and military is all about regulations.
The navy uses wired controllers to operate periscopes, not wireless ones, and not for anything mission critical. Although I think I remember reading some military drones are or were at one point using controllers because they’re easy to train people on, but those are unmanned.
Sure they use “Xbox controllers,” the difference in build quality between an authentic Xbox controller and most 3rd party controllers is pretty noticeable.
I have the wired version of the controller they used. It’s Mad Catz level garbage.
The man had zero respect for the blood those regulations have been written in.
Make him a meme
Well in this case.
The front really did fall off.
Everyone is focusing on the controller, which I don’t think was the issue here. Also they had spare controllers.
The issue is the hull was made out of fucking fiberglass and titanium. This was the first dive since it had gone through a repair. Some tiny imperfection in that fiberglass, under thousands of pounds of pressure, and you’re fucked.
This is why real submarines are made out of steel.
On the plus side, it was probably a very quick death.
I saw an estimation of 33 milliseconds. I also read that the brain takes about 150 milliseconds to register pain. They probably didn’t feel a thing.
Even that is optimistic. Your entire nervous system would be destroyed, before it could send signals to your brain in your skull which would also be crushed and unable to interpret those signals.
What a stupid way to die.
Crazy. I wanted to check to see if there had been any updates and I was going to check Reddit because I thought I was more likely to find info quickly there. But I decided that I couldn’t have seen it on Kbin first if I didn’t give Kbin the chance and check it first and here is the exact info I was looking for at the very top of the first page of my Kbin app.
This is how we become the front page of the internet – it’s not gonna be instant, but keep posting and understand with content here first and slowly but surely we’ll be the place to be
I still can’t get my head around being the type of person who would get on that thing.
I still can’t believe that James Cameron went to the bottom the Marina Trench in 2012.
At least Deepsea Challenger was properly built and more than up to the task.
James Cameron shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as these clowns.
Yeah he is a lot crazier
But he has the money and the resources to do it safely.
Also he listened to experts in order for that to be possible instead of claiming that submarine classifications and regulation was “holding the industry back”. Dude just wanted to go deep in the ocean, and he damn sure did it.
First you’ve gotta have more money than sense. Then multiple the money tenfold.
Guillermo Sohnlein said the group may have extended their life support supplies by “relaxing as much as possible.”
Ah yes, the sweet relaxation of slow death. Not that they would have had much time to relax anyway, if the debris field is the remains of their vessel.
It would suck if they saw it coming, like slow leaks in the cabin or a crack forming in the view port… they would not have had to worry about it for long but they still may have had time to panic which would be quite shiddy
Oof yeah, damn. Or having the vessel slowly fill up with water or something. Honestly any of the possible death scenarios sound terrifying, hopefully it wasn’t prolonged suffering.
At that depth, it’s not “slowly” filling up with water. As soon as the hull is breached, it would violently implode inside of a second.
Ahh, yeah, you’re right.
It’s not a pleasant process, but a catastrophic failure would be ideal from a “way to go” standpoint.
By comparison the USS Thresher had a small brazing leak, followed by a freezing of the compressed air they tried to fill the ballast tanks with to emergency surface, and then got to experience the bulkheads imploding and slowly be crushed as they sank. There’s audio from nearby ships of it imploding online and it’s pretty terrifying to listen to.
This is an example of an accident of decompression:
Coward, Lucas, and Bergersen were exposed to the effects of explosive decompression and died in the positions indicated by the diagram. Investigation by forensic pathologists determined that Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the crescent-shaped opening measuring 60 centimetres (24 in) long created by the jammed interior trunk door. With the escaping air and pressure, it included bisection of his thoracoabdominal cavity, which resulted in fragmentation of his body, followed by expulsion of all of the internal organs of his chest and abdomen, except the trachea and a section of small intestine, and of the thoracic spine. These were projected some distance, one section being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.
It was likely pretty quick yes
Do we know what depth it was at yet? Last I heard it was anywhere between the titanic itself and the surface.
slow leaks in the cabin or a crack forming
That doesn’t happen at that pressure. If something is wrong it just gets completely squished in milliseconds.
Basically imagine a super strong pressure washer, but the water is not just a very thin jet, but instead everything around you.
Depends a lot on the depth, considering they were only halfway I imagine the water pressure combined with air escaping would have depressurized and atomized everything within 0.1-1.5 second.
They would have heard the hull moaning, before it happened, But, if they saw water even a drop or even a crack, they wouldn’t have had time to comprehend they were dead.
Would they even have heard moaning? From everything I can tell, the whole idea was trading ductility for weight-reduction. I imagine something just… snapped. I suppose if you’ve got to go via an undersea vehicle incident, that’s the least horrifying option, though.
I was thinking that it would be best to sleep as much as possible.
@NPR had an article the other day about a submarine rescue in those sorts of circumstances: https://www.npr.org/2023/06/20/1183249112/missing-titanic-submarine-rescue-pisces-iii
It was a small (phone booth-ish?) two-man sub stranded for three days back in 1973. The two men conserved oxygen by not speaking or moving and were successfully recovered.
RELAX HARDER I TELL YA!!!
im ded, cant get mor relaxd
Makes me wondering what that banging sound was then.
When searchers are desperately looking for any signs of life, any sounds can be mistaken for a clue.
Maybe they had early warning signs that something was wrong with the sub. Maybe it imploded later. Dunno.
I was thinking that maybe the billionaires son killed everyone else in the sub, so that he could save himself by having 2 weeks of oxygen, and a ready food supply if needed.
Among Us IRL?
@fury @Girlparts coulda been anything. Lots of things make banging noises underwater.
Could have even been hundreds of miles away.
Heck there’s recordings of artic ice cracking from the middle of the Pacific!
@fury Pieces of debris banging into each other in the waves
Marine Traffic app showed at least a dozen ships clustered above the site until about an hour ago; now there’s two government vessels - everyone else has gone home.
I don’t need any press conference to tell me they’re all dead.
Debris field can’t be that bad of a diagnosis.
Well, that’s less wear and tear on the Guillotines when the revolution comes.
So many shitty people in this thread. What is this, Reddit?
Well the original Lemmy instances where filled with Tankies… So it needs a bit to dilute down the crazy with new people.
New to all of this, what’s a ‘tankie’?
Basically authoritarian communists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Whats funnier is people still think there is ever going to be a ‘revolution’ or heads getting chopped off… thats some qanon BS right there
I’m ngl, I’m kind of morbidly curious what, if any, remains are there when a sub at this depth implodes. Will there even be any bodies that are retrievable?
As sad and morbid it is to think about, there’s probably not anything left other than a fine mist disbursed through the ocean.
I’m reminded of the one episode of Mythbusters where they tested an old school dive suit at depth with loss of pressure. Not the exact same situation, but consider they are MUCH deeper than this was. And in that test on the show, their human analogue looked like it got finely blended into a pile of mush inside the suit. The pressures that deep are no joke.
As another comparison, I’m sure someone with actual numbers could compare the PSI at the depth they went missing to what is put through from a hydraulic press and just go watch any video on the hydraulic press YT channel for comparison.
You linked a kbin article somehow or there was a glitch with your link.
Fixed
400 atmospheres, or about 6000 PSI
My very brief searches into how pressure affects objects at depth tells me that any pockets of air inside a container (like a human body) would cause the container to implode.
In summary, no.
There are some videos online of Delta P and it’s affects. Most are not NSFL, but it illustrate this better below is a video of a railroad tanker car that was drained of liquid but not vented:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz95_VvTxZM
That’s at 1ATM maximum. At 13,000ft there 500ATM. A large delta P has no problem pulping just about anything given the chance for catastrophic failure.
Coast Guard says the debris field was “consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel” and would have been picked up if it had happened after the search was underway.
