Damn...

Damn...

Might have popped like a grape.

The pressure chamber has not yet been found. But the titanium end caps of the pressure chamber have been found, along with the outer frame and the tail cone cover.

Do you suppose that the crew's cell phones and laptops survived, or were they obliterated?

I would think completely compacted.

Implosion or explosion?  Make up your mind.

I'll never understand why anyone would want to go 13,000 feet underwater in a container that can only be opened from the outside.

Implosion or explosion?  Make up your mind.

Both, according to someone posting a response to the tweet:

Catastrophic Implosion of a submersible explained:

When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500 miles per hour - that’s 2,200 feet per second.

The time required for complete collapse is 20 / 2,200 seconds = about 1 millisecond.

A human brain responds instinctually to stimulus at about 25 milliseconds. Human rational response (sense→reason→act) is at best 150 milliseconds.

The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapors.

When the hull collapses it behaves like a very large piston on a very large Diesel engine.

The air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion. Large blobs of fat (that would be humans) incinerate and are turned to ash and dust quicker than you can blink your eye.

Underwater cremation...interesting. I know that bodies were recovered by the Glomar Explorer from that sunk Russian sub in the 60's...it must have had compartments that survived.

I am personally won't decide until after George Noory writes a book about it

sNoory to guest: So, did it go boom or crunch like a Bud Lite can under a Cowboys foot.

Filmmaker James Cameron and oceanographer Cmdr. Robert Ballard weigh in on the Titan submersible tragedy.

I would think that an implosion would make some noise, too.  Anyone know if there was a capability at the time to detect something like that?

Yeah, that's what I thought

The Navy first detected the Titan sub's implosion soon after it went missing: WSJ
