The Titanic-bound submersible that went missing on Sunday with five people on board suffered a "catastrophic implosion," killing everyone on board, officials said Thursday.
From what I heard they had two bottles for urine and a bag to deficate in. It would have been freezing and extremely humid inside after even a day as well.
A implosion would be way better than days cramped together suffocating and starving in a inescapable freezing stench filled coffin.
But isn’t the asphyxiation here on the levels of, you end up falling asleep and don’t wake up again. It’s not to the degree of you’re choking to death and can’t do anything about it.
I don’t think so. You’d feel the carbon dioxide building up in your muscles over time, it would be awful. That and the mind-destroying existential terror. I’d take the sudden crush depth exposure, thanks.
The peaceful death you are talking about is from lack of oxygen, but when you’re in an enclosed space, there is CO2 buildup, and when you get too much CO2 it makes your blood slightly more acidic, which makes you feel an intense urge to breathe and you’ll die before running out of oxygen. That’s a terrible way to die.
I’d definitely choose to die that way over asphyxiation or dehydration.
100% agree here. But then again, you wouldn’t catch me in a tiny enclosed space God knows how deep, no thanks. I’ll look at titanic videos on youtube.

Plus imagine being the poor coast guard team that has to crack that sucker open after they finally found and raised it 🤢
It’s already been cracked open… and it wasnt by the coast guard…
Cracking open a cold one with the bois.

You would certainly be in a lot of discomfort and panic for a few minutes. Awful for sure.
