Tourist submarine exploring Titanic wreckage disappears in Atlantic Ocean

Implosion aftermath would be essentially the same as an explosion aftermath. Insert everything into massive blender and pulse it on Hi a few times.

I'll admit that I really didn't expect an implosion to be the most likely outcome. I figured it was a total loss of electrical power and they just sank.

Well, just because it happened doesn’t mean it was the most likely outcome. :flipoff2:

But yeah, it does seem like the most basic one to address, and the simplest one. No idea how they failed that part.

How long until it comes out that they knew it imploded immediately and that's why they waited to tell anybody?

kinda like the Malaysia military did with MH370. Watched it diverting and flew into the Indian Ocean on their radar and did nothing and did not report until later.
 
But on one of those dives, the submersible encountered a battery issue and had to be “manually attached to its lifting platform,” which led to “sustained modest damage to its external components,” according to that filing. OceanGate canceled a subsequent mission “for repairs and operational enhancements,” but reached the wreck on others, the filing stated. The company also completed a series of Titanic-wreckage dives in 2021, according to its website

From previously linked CNN article... "Damage to its external components." Like what? The hull perhaps?

Carbon fibre also has a finite life span, though technically it could last forever. Bike companies suggest replacement 6-7 years. Race cars have to be rigorously inspected to make sure they're still safe enough to run as the epoxy holding it together can degrade.

Lord knows what the pressure cycles to that hull did.
 
So, now I’m sitting here wondering what a corpse would like. A human body that was slowly pressured up to 6,000psi would likely be mostly recognizable. As in, if the lungs were full of water, you’d only be dramatically altering the volume of the gases in the body. So, nitrogen would obviously be squished to 1/400th of its original size, as well as oxygen in the blood and muscles. So, I bet as long as the lungs were allowed to fill, the body would be compressed by maybe 10% or less. The liquid just equalizes pressure, shrinks accordingly, and that’s it. But water at 6000 psi has still only compressed by 2%, so….

I think recognizable.

Instantaneous pressurization would obviously also crush the chest cavity. But I think most of the crushed to atoms thing is not right.
 
My limited understanding (read that as no understanding really) is that in a catastrophic hull failure, the air inside the vessel would be compressed by the water from outside. This is the diesel engine analogy from earlier. I believe the sudden, virtually immediate increase in pressure would incinerate, then drown, then disintegrate whatever is within the sub, virtually simultaneously, about as fast as you can blink.

I slept through science. Maybe I had the right idea.
 
The hydrooolic press guy did some cool shit with a pressure chamber the effectively simulated about 2000' below the sea.



Also, a glass jar under vacuum is effectively the same thing
