Titanic tourist sub goes missing

[Rifler]

The report yesterday is that they have human remains. Who knows what it is but seems strange

Probably not much more than a nasty stain on the shell remnants...

Well I’m starting to wonder if they died as fast as everyone told us they did. Some of the parts they’re recovering are pretty big and now they’re saying they’ve got human remains.

The “implosion” was instantaneous. Despite what might be believed, the sub wasn’t crushed like a tin can. The body tube was made of a carbon composite - it shattered. They may have known there was a problem but the actual failure would have been over before they could have comprehended it. And the remains are, I’m sure….fragmented.

Instant chum,.. long gone by now.

Not a lot of wildlife that deep. It would take some time.

They’re just assuming they’re human remains at this point so I’m sure it’s not exactly a head

I’m figuring it’ll be about like what they found in the wreckage of the Twin Towers…human paste and bone shards.

"We worked with aerospace experts at the University of Washington, NASA, and Boeing." That's great! Let's partner with a bunch of people who specialize in working in air and space where we have low pressure.

Yep

Outer space: ~15 psi of inside pressure
Deep Ocean: 6000 psi of outside pressure

In fact, your "carbon fiber" vessel would probably do better in space, because the cylindrical loading, then, would have been in "circumferential tension" rather than "compression", which is what composites are "bad" at....

400 ATM? That's just gross

Implode, no. They explode out of millions of asses though.
