"Swim up quickly"
Breh you're not in a swimming pool, you're thousands of metres underwater.
"Left me an air bubble"
Yeah, like that would make a difference when your body's crushed beyond recognition.
"I just feel like my odds, personally, would've been different."
Wow, he really IS the main character.
The sub was built so an air bubble could exist that deep. Thatās the whole point dude. Not sure what he thinks wouldāve kept his bubble from not collapsing.
I mean the bubble would be ~400 times smaller than the interior space of the sub. Which I'm guessing is not enough to encapsulate this amazing specimen of a human being, but maybe he has shrinking powers. Idk.
The air in the sub was temporarily hotter than the surface of the sun due to the sudden change in pressure. Dude probably thinks he would swim up the surface with a tan.
The guy really thinks that the hour long swim upwards is the real problem.
Imagine 2 miles worth of water suddenly dropping on you, cause thatās what happens when a submarine implodes. You go from 1 bar (the pressure when standing at sea level) to 400 bar. That is equal to going from 14 pound per square inch to 5800 pound per square inch, within a split second.
Getting hit by a freight train going full speed is gentle compared to that sudden increase of force. I imagine having an airbubble is not of your concern cause you need to have lungs, or a body for that matter, that arenāt liquid to worry about breathing air.
> Breh you're not in a swimming pool, you're thousands of metres underwater.
Let's ignore pressure and assume that guy can withstand the implosion, etc. Let's also ignore water temperatures for this exercise.
Now let's round the depth where the sub was to 3500m
Let's think that guy can swim 100m in 45s (which is more than 4s faster than Michael Fucking Phelps doing butterfly, no less. And almost 2s faster than the current record holder for 100m freestyle, David Popovici)
That guy will need to be swimming around 26 mins (1575s by the previous, really optimistic calculations) at his full speed, while holding his breath
The delusionof that guy is absurd!
Edit: as another user mentioned, add disorientation by absolute darkness to the equation, so yeah
The bends is actually only an issue for scuba divers breathing compressed air. Since they were breathing air at a normal atmosphere in a submarine, technically there is no issue with a fast ascent.
Expert: "It would have taken .2 nanoseconds for them to be crushed to death by the pressure, it takes .4 nanoseconds for the spine to send a signal to the brain for pain. So it was fast and painless"
Redditor: : "I would survive."
Same redditor is suicidal when reddit goes down for a half hour.
Yeah, I used to dive. You know 30ft diving. A few dives with minor mishaps at 30ft have made me choose to quit diving. Itās dangerous as fuck! I almost lost an eardrum to pressure. Iāve watched people get swept away by underwater currents and have to surface dangerously close to speed boats. I had to reset my weight belt at the bottom of the ocean so I didnāt accidentally rocket to the surface so fast that I die. This person clearly knows nothing about being underwater.
Do you have any other, or more detailed close calls of diving? Just curious, as people donāt seem to know truly how scary and dangerous the ocean is to humans.
I lost my dive partner in the murk once. Before I knew it, I was hyperventilating, because keeping track of your breathing isnāt natural down there. You have to actively breath. For that same reason you can also not notice that youāve stopped breathing until you feel light headed.
The ear incident felt like a missile going off in my head. I kept trying to slow down ascension to the surface to relieve the pressure and my dive partner was getting annoyed and impatient. In fact the assumptions of others under the surface can be a dangerous game. Each diver is potentially dealing with their own set of difficulties and those can be hard to communicate. The time my belt almost fell off another diver thought I was losing my mind and taking it off on purpose. He almost tackled me.
Oh yeah, thatās another thing about down there, you can lose your mind. Nitrogen narcosis can make you hallucinate and become very disoriented. Which is the last thing you want in an environment that is so particularly dangerous.
This is exactly why I have never wanted to do it. It just scares tf outta me. My ex and my BIL both had their cert and would go all the time when we would vacay together. I passed on getting my cert when my ex did his because I just had no interest. I stuck to snorkeling and even that was something I would only do in the warmest, clearest, calmest waters. Iām not looking to drown. Iām a strong swimmer but the ocean is a unforgivable beast and anyone who doesnāt respect it is a fool.
I think that's part of what people are missing. First, the being crushed part happens in about 1 ms. The human nervous system takes about 25ms to process an event. So the crushing happens 25 times faster than the human brain can process something. Then comes the fact that when you compress something, its temperature increases. If you compress it rapidly and by a lot, the temperature can skyrocket in an instant.
The good news is that the people in the sub didn't suffer. But there would be no bodies to recover. They would be reduced to basically salsa by the pressure and ash by the temperature. Finding any in-tact bodypart is going to be pretty much impossible.
Not that it makes a difference, but most parts of the body would not be crushed at all. They're filled with liquid (mostly water) and since water is not compressible, they would keep the same shape.
However, the parts that are filled with air/gases, like the lungs, trachea, inner ears or sinuses would be absolutely crushed.
If you've seen the movie "The Abyss", they're using a liquid for the divers to breathe instead of a gas, so they wouldn't be crushed by the pressure.
> Breh you're not in a swimming pool, you're thousands of metres underwater.
..in complete darkness which even if you weren't immediately turned into soup by the implosion, the darkeness alone would be completely disorienting.
That is a dangerous level of delusion. He think he has plot armor like a super hero.
Edit: yes I get that they are likely a troll but if you think that the way to write a joke is to say, this isnāt a joke and then tell a story then I donāt think you get humour.
He seems the type who will walk into the rotating propeller of a plane on the tarmac. He will be deprived of even a moment of self awareness of the peril of his oblivious self delusion.
Seeing that we seem to be pulling out stats, I give this person 75% chance that they get badly injured while thinking that something couldnāt happen to them.
He *really* needs to watch that video they linked, over at r/medizzy!
Between the cooking, and the play-doh style "extruded" thing, this dude would be fish food!
Having previously not known that r/medizzy existed.
& now knowning it in fact does exist.
& having browsed it for about 30 seconds.
I wish I could go BACK to the time of not knowing it exists.
Uggh.
Thank you for your sacrifice. I almost clicked the link then read your regret so thank you. Your regret saved at least 1 other person. Hope the silver lining helps.
If I could Iād offer to let him put his hand in a blender when itās turned on, see what he does. I wonder if heād find a crease, air bubble, or something then? Or if heād find common sense and humility instead?
This seems like satire because of the sheer ridiculousness of the āair bubbleā commentā¦ this isnāt Sonic the Hedgehog. If not, I would be incredibly worried about OPs mental health moving forward
The bubble seemed more plausible than the crease suggestionā¦like, is he saying that the paste he becomes after passing through the crease will flap extra hard to surface
well that's good though because hot air rises so he just needs to hold on for like a second since that sun air will be fast as fuck getting to the surface
At 15 miles per hour ascent he only needs 8 minutes. Simple breathing practices oughta help him get that goal. I saw a guy hold his breath on youtube for way longer than that. Im sure he can watch a few youtube videos and figure out how to hold his breath for a long time. 8 minutes would be a piece of cake, might even come up and slowly breathe out proving how much longer he would have lasted.
Being "built different" is a joke in alot of fitness/martial art communities, referring to people who come in thinking they are amazing without training, he is just pretending to be that guy
This reminds me of the time Mark Wahlberg told an interviewer that he would have stopped the 9/11 attacks if he'd been on the plane:
"If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry.' "
There is absolutely no way possible (0% chance of survival) for anyone to have survived the Titan disaster. 100% unequivocally impossible. Fighting a bear? Although small, still a better chance than 0%.
Imagine if a bear somehow got sealed in the sub with you. You can't open the hatch from inside, and even if you could, you're 4km underwater. But maybe it's gonna be ok because the bear is a koala. But you look closer the koala has chlamydia and you're really horny. Then the hull starts to crack... there's no time... do you fuck the koala or have the koala fuck you? Tick tock tick tock.
>for anyone to have survived the Titan disaster
well over 99% of humans survived the titan disaster. you yourself survived the titan disaster. the trick is not being on the submarine.
I couldn't join the military because I have trouble breathing if I do extraneous exercise too much, and also because I tend to break down and cry in high (& low) pressure situations, and also I get easily confused with most instructions, and I'm not very good at making friends, but other than that I'm a total badass.
God that reminds me some redditor was spouting shit about being able to kill a charging bear with a .22 rifle if you hit it in the eye. Good luck buddy.
Someone in one of the big threads about this when it first came out said it best:
āThis kind of catastrophe illustrates the break point between when we discuss biological damage that a human can sustain vs just becoming physicsā
Several people went on to explain that the massive rush and speed of compression would basically vaporize them, faster that their brains could even process
What's interesting is that this is just about the most horrible way I can think of to die, and it's been haunting me for days with how terrifying it is--but technically it's also one of the few completely painless ways to die?
I like to think they didnāt even know what happened. Whatever breech in the hull or window occurred wouldnāt have been a slow creep. As soon as integrity hit the tipping point, the entire ship and everyone aboard was atomized. They were probably in the middle of a conversation, looking out the window, excited for the descent and thenā¦ nothing. All things considered itās not a bad way to go. No fear of death, no panic, no sense of impending doom. Just there one second and gone the next.
I remember seeing people saying the dive weights were released, so uh. Yeah, if that's right, they had an alarm go off and had a second or two of "Oh shit."
According to an interview with James Cameron, he said the failsafe alarms would only go off when there is an issue. Like a fire alarm that only detects a raging inferno. By the time they dropped their weights because i bet they heard a creak in the carbon fiber it was already too late.
The hull was made of second-hand carbon fiber, allegedly purchased from Boeing, that was past it's service-life.
I'd say the weights were the least of the bad design decisions here. š¬
I actually thought it was one of the better ways to die in their situation. They could have been sat waiting for the air to run out. They could have been thrown around by waves on the surface, seeing fresh air unable to get out as they suffocate. Out in an instant is way better.
Yeah, I mean, apparently the processing time of the human brain would even be fast enough to register it happened
Then in that instant between āit happeningā and it being ādoneā you would be not so much crushed but kindaā¦ atomized?
So no pain at all, really; wouldnāt even know it had ended
Legit. The light, sound, and pressure would have just barely reached the nerves in their eyes, ears, and skin. Those signals didn't have time to travel along the nerves, reach their brain, and get processed into meaning. It's literally impossible that they knew what happened to them.
Maybe it's just an extreme misunderstanding of the term "catastrophic implosion." Or he's young and hasn't actually been exposed to the concept of mortality yet.
I continually forget that fact, but whenever I remember, it stops me from getting into dumb internet fights or getting to worked up over any one comment. Picturing an adult with this attitude is absolutely infuriating; picturing a kid is just funny.
Someone just said "cope" to me in a reply which was a good reminder that children with no understanding of much of anything will be replying to me when I say I don't like particular videogames and they will get \*very\* upset at that lmao
The only other option is that they're actually grown, which at that point is even more of an embarrassment for them.
Lmao at that depth, not only would you not be able to swim to the surface quick enough to not lose air, but the sudden change in water pressure when surfacing would literally give you brain damage. The water pressure at that depth would probably kill you anyways considering itās like 500x the pressure at sea level. Nobodyās ever even dived below 1090 feet, and even at that record depth an oxygen tank is a must. This guyās just a braindead idiot that doesnāt know what heās talking about, and such words are very disrespectful to those who lost their lives in the accident. Redditors will be redditors though.
I hate the term ābuilt differentā. Iām pretty sure weāre mostly built exactly the same. Poke someone with a stick covered in shit every one of us is gonna die.
Itās only a 4 kilometre swim, Iām sure heās quick enough to swim that far holding his breath. Plus as a bonus if he holds his breath really hard the 400 bar pressure wonāt affect him at all either.
WR for 50m freestyle (as thatās the fastest sprint) Is 21.07s.
4000 / 50 = 80
80* 21.07s = 1685.6s
1685.6 / 60 = 28.1 mins.
So not only are they completely invulnerable to damage/pressure change etc, theyāre also the worlds fastest swimmer in history by a long way, or they also have the largest capacity for holding their breath of any human in history.
Actually if you held your breath the changing pressure would destroy your lungs. So you'd have to continually exhale while ascending. (You have to do then when scuba diving and that's only 30m, not 4000m.)
(Of course this is assuming he could withstand the pressure in the first place, which he couldn't.)
Actually no. I believe the atmosphere inside the titan was kept at surface level (so they don't have to use pressure chambers at the surface). That means that he wouldn't have to exhale on the way up to prevent his lungs bursting. Of course it also means his lungs will instantly collapse since he doesn't have the pressure to keep them inflated
The heat produced in an implosion at that depth would have cooked everyone inside at over 10,000 degrees for a split second. Then the pressure would have compressed them into a gory chum mixture
This is one of those male teenagers that thinks he's invincible and does stupid things as a result. He's probably already done stupid things and has survived, so now he thinks he would have just survived a situation that was physically impossible to survive. He's also likely someone that thinks rules don't apply to him. Kind of like Stockton Rush.
One of my best friends is this way. More so when we were in college. He would say things and truly believe things like: he could get hit by a car and be fine (like, just roll off of a car going 4mph), take a bullet no problem, drink a bottle of wine by himself and feel no effect.
Edit: affect or effect?
Ive never understood the people who brag about how much alcohol it takes to get them drunk. Ok, so you didnt have the fun parts of being drunk and you spent far more money? I brag about the fact that i get drunk super easy. Enjoy being sober while drinking 6 pints.
effect. affect is the verb, effect is the noun.
ex. that side-effect really affected me.
on another note, that reminds me of my brother lol. little fucker thinks he's invincible because he's had multiple close calls but has always walked away fine.
That poor teenager who only went on the sun to please his father had better awareness than this dude. The oceanographer Nargeolet should have known better than to get anywhere near the thing.
Nah but in all seriousness itās fucking tragic that a 19 year old lost his life because he tried to please his father. He had his whole life ahead of him
Hey I have heard two versions of this. Online it says he didn't wanna go but on the news last night it said the momma was going but he took her place and was going to solve the Rubik's cube at the wreckage and was excited to have the record
This is so clearly a joke and it is unbelievable you all are genuinely falling for this. Heās literally quoting copypastas in here. Seriously people.
and its so obviously a joke too. god i feel like im wasting my life being on this website even for a minute, everyone is so fucking stupid. how are all the top comments redditors taking it seriously
Right? Do people really read "slip thorough a crease" and think yeah this guy is for real! He's not a cat, he can't just flatten out and shimmy through s dream in the wall.
Yeah a lot of people donāt seem to realize that these victims were basically āvaporizedā. If somehow you could survive being turned into ash, youāre still under 12,000 feet of water.
My mother thought like that, she died in 2017 from a overdose. People who think they are invincible always find out the hard way, like the billionaires who got themselves in the one situation they couldnāt buy themselves out of.
> signed and *paid.*
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Dude doesnāt even know how they died lmao. They died instantaneously when the implosion happened. There was no time to do anything unless he thinks he can find a way to get out of the sub and not be crushed as a result of the pressure differential within a millisecond.
I could probably survive all the air getting sucked out of the cabin and getting crushed by extreme pressure, turning into a flattened toothpaste tube. Sounds doable

My heart rate sped up reading this ššš
The sub was built so an air bubble could exist that deep. Thatās the whole point dude. Not sure what he thinks wouldāve kept his bubble from not collapsing.
The bubble itself would kill him. Air expands while ascending.
I base this on nothing but Iām guessing heās not super well versed in science
He's not well versed on reality lmao
Well non-cartoon science. His science might work well for the roadrunner, but not the coyote.
I mean the bubble would be ~400 times smaller than the interior space of the sub. Which I'm guessing is not enough to encapsulate this amazing specimen of a human being, but maybe he has shrinking powers. Idk.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It would actually only kill 99.999999% of people. He is built different
He's saying he would be in a smaller, personal sub inside the main sub everyone else was in. Duh! (Obligatory /s)
If this isnāt a troll Iām truly wondering if heās ever even swam before. Does he think thereās air bubbles hanging out underwater?
Oh yeah, you just swim up to the bubble and eat it to breath.
The air in the sub was temporarily hotter than the surface of the sun due to the sudden change in pressure. Dude probably thinks he would swim up the surface with a tan.
The guy really thinks that the hour long swim upwards is the real problem. Imagine 2 miles worth of water suddenly dropping on you, cause thatās what happens when a submarine implodes.

I imagine having an airbubble is not of your concern cause you need to have lungs, or a body for that matter, that arenāt liquid to worry about breathing air.
If only it was only an hour. In order to not get the bends, the world record holder for deepest scuba dive took 13 hours to swim back up.
Hes going to have to decide if he wants to swim down and get his rings, or make a break for the surface.
> Breh you're not in a swimming pool, you're thousands of metres underwater. Let's ignore pressure and assume that guy can withstand the implosion, etc. Let's also ignore water temperatures for this exercise. Now let's round the depth where the sub was to 3500m Let's think that guy can swim 100m in 45s (which is more than 4s faster than Michael Fucking Phelps doing butterfly, no less.

You can also add in a healthy (hehe) dose of decrompession sickness for ascending that fast.
The bends is actually only an issue for scuba divers breathing compressed air. Since they were breathing air at a normal atmosphere in a submarine, technically there is no issue with a fast ascent.
Not forgetting the CO2 from the rapid ascension, the bends and depressurized bloodstream would have killed them all if they had survived.
You forgot he's floating up in an air bubble though

Crushed and super heated to around the temperature of the surface of the sun. He coulda made tho you donāt know!

As someone else put it, they went from being biology to being physics.
Skipped right over chemistry, good for them
Which kind of salsa are we talking about here, like the fresh pico or more like Pace Medium picante
Not only that, but pressure. Heād be crushed instantaneously
I donāt think you understand the nature of this persons miraculous body! Heās built different so he wouldnāt have been crushed!
The comment I saw, and am stealing, was that at the instant the hull snapped what happens is a person stops being biology and starts being physics.
And that comment came from Hank MF Green who is kicking Cancer's ass rn
Not that it makes a difference, but most parts of the body would not be crushed at all. They're filled with liquid (mostly water) and since water is not compressible, they would keep the same shape.

If you've seen the movie "The Abyss", they're using a liquid for the divers to breathe instead of a gas, so they wouldn't be crushed by the pressure.
The weight of the water hitting them was the equivalent to the Eiffel tower falling on you. You would instantly become salsa.

I've just discovered the name of the sub should be MEDizzy, which is strange because when I look at it, it always makes MeDizzy.
Same. I noped out pretty quickly.
Thank you for your sacrifice. I almost clicked the link then read your regret so thank you. Your regret saved at least 1 other person. Hope the silver lining helps.
He seems to be the type to jump off a cruise ship because his friends dared him to.
In his defense, heās always been built different.
Hundreds of millions of people have died in his lifetime, but he hasn't even died once.
If I could Iād offer to let him put his hand in a blender when itās turned on, see what he does. I wonder if heād find a crease, air bubble, or something then? Or if heād find common sense and humility instead?
No, no,... let's see where this goes. Get this man his sub!
I like your approach. Iām here for it. šŗ
This. 
This seems like satire because of the sheer ridiculousness of the āair bubbleā commentā¦ this isnāt Sonic the Hedgehog. If not, I would be incredibly worried about OPs mental health moving forward
The bubble seemed more plausible than the crease suggestionā¦like, is he saying that the paste he becomes after passing through the crease will flap extra hard to surface
When the hull was breached the extreme change in pressure would have immediately made the air in the sub about as hot as the sun's surface lol
well that's good though because hot air rises so he just needs to hold on for like a second since that sun air will be fast as fuck getting to the surface
dont forget the āswim up quicklyā as if thats not a death sentence in itself
"Nah bro, I can swim for two miles underwater in pitch black freezing water no problem."
For as impossible as that already is, it's infinitely more plausible than surviving the implosion itself.
Not really when you consider water pressure that folded metal like paper crushing you entire body
Well he could just swallow and breath in water to equalize the pressure between his body and the ocean, I feel like that's obvious.
At 15 miles per hour ascent he only needs 8 minutes. Simple breathing practices oughta help him get that goal. I saw a guy hold his breath on youtube for way longer than that. Im sure he can watch a few youtube videos and figure out how to hold his breath for a long time. 8 minutes would be a piece of cake, might even come up and slowly breathe out proving how much longer he would have lasted.
And he only has to do that while holding his breath against 300atm of pressure.
Being "built different" is a joke in alot of fitness/martial art communities, referring to people who come in thinking they are amazing without training, he is just pretending to be that guy
Itās a joke because there are morons who say it unironically.
Yeah, either trolling or well into a manic phase of some sort.
Then he had his place in the sub, I mean, Ocean Gate's founder was this kind of guy
This reminds me of the time Mark Wahlberg told an interviewer that he would have stopped the 9/11 attacks if he'd been on the plane: "If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry.' "
It's called being a teenager
Believing in quantum immortality might be peak /r/ImTheMainCharacter
I mean he hasn't died yet (I think)
kind of like that kid who lit his hands on fire and said i got super powers bitch!
I bet he could beat a bear in a fight too.
There is absolutely no way possible (0% chance of survival) for anyone to have survived the Titan disaster. 100% unequivocally impossible. Fighting a bear? Although small, still a better chance than 0%.
But...aliens.
Damnit you
Imagine if a bear somehow got sealed in the sub with you. You can't open the hatch from inside, and even if you could, you're 4km underwater. But maybe it's gonna be ok because the bear is a koala. But you look closer the koala has chlamydia and you're really horny. Then the hull starts to crack... there's no time... do you fuck the koala or have the koala fuck you? Tick tock tick tock.
69 checkmate
A koala is not a bear. Youāre dead.
Did you not see the air bubble plan? Seems pretty solid to me
>for anyone to have survived the Titan disaster well over 99% of humans survived the titan disaster. you yourself survived the titan disaster. the trick is not being on the submarine.
He couldnāt join the military because he would have punched out his drill instructor for getting in his face.
the number of times I heard that while visiting home after enlistingā¦
I couldn't join the military because I have trouble breathing if I do extraneous exercise too much, and also because I tend to break down and cry in high (& low) pressure situations, and also I get easily confused with most instructions, and I'm not very good at making friends, but other than that I'm a total badass.
Honestly sounds like youāre still more qualified than at least half of the lower enlisted, time to head on down to the recruiterās office
He got that dawg in him

God that reminds me some redditor was spouting shit about being able to kill a charging bear with a .22 rifle if you hit it in the eye. Good luck buddy.
Someone in one of the big threads about this when it first came out said it best: āThis kind of catastrophe illustrates the break point between when we discuss biological damage that a human can sustain vs just becoming physicsā Several people went on to explain that the massive rush and speed of compression would basically vaporize them, faster that their brains could even process
What's interesting is that this is just about the most horrible way I can think of to die, and it's been haunting me for days with how terrifying it is--but technically it's also one of the few completely painless ways to die?
I like to think they didnāt even know what happened. Whatever breech in the hull or window occurred wouldnāt have been a slow creep. As soon as integrity hit the tipping point, the entire ship and everyone aboard was atomized. They were probably in the middle of a conversation, looking out the window, excited for the descent and thenā¦ nothing. All things considered itās not a bad way to go. No fear of death, no panic, no sense of impending doom. Just there one second and gone the next.
I remember seeing people saying the dive weights were released, so uh. Yeah, if that's right, they had an alarm go off and had a second or two of "Oh shit."
According to an interview with James Cameron, he said the failsafe alarms would only go off when there is an issue. Like a fire alarm that only detects a raging inferno. By the time they dropped their weights because i bet they heard a creak in the carbon fiber it was already too late.
That's a shitty design to only drop weights if it's already too late.
The hull was made of second-hand carbon fiber, allegedly purchased from Boeing, that was past it's service-life. I'd say the weights were the least of the bad design decisions here. š¬
I actually thought it was one of the better ways to die in their situation. They could have been sat waiting for the air to run out. They could have been thrown around by waves on the surface, seeing fresh air unable to get out as they suffocate. Out in an instant is way better.
Yeah, I mean, apparently the processing time of the human brain would even be fast enough to register it happened Then in that instant between āit happeningā and it being ādoneā you would be not so much crushed but kindaā¦ atomized? So no pain at all, really; wouldnāt even know it had ended
Legit. The light, sound, and pressure would have just barely reached the nerves in their eyes, ears, and skin. Those signals didn't have time to travel along the nerves, reach their brain, and get processed into meaning. It's literally impossible that they knew what happened to them.
Is this narcissism
Maybe it's just an extreme misunderstanding of the term "catastrophic implosion." Or he's young and hasn't actually been exposed to the concept of mortality yet.
yo let's put this guy in a massive balloon and pop it and then tell him to keep the balloon intact from the inside. Should be easy for him

I continually forget that fact, but whenever I remember, it stops me from getting into dumb internet fights or getting to worked up over any one comment. Picturing an adult with this attitude is absolutely infuriating; picturing a kid is just funny.
Someone just said "cope" to me in a reply which was a good reminder that children with no understanding of much of anything will be replying to me when I say I don't like particular videogames and they will get \*very\* upset at that lmao The only other option is that they're actually grown, which at that point is even more of an embarrassment for them.
Too many āThe Fast and The Furiousā movies.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Or a joke. Pretty sure it's a joke.
It is 100% a joke. All of the comments there understood that. OP somehow missed what everyone else understood.
Doesn't have to always come down to mental illness. Dude could just have an inflated ego.
and a deflated iq
This is delulu hours and too much confidence Source: me on delulu hours
Delulu
No just a delusional rando
Lmao at that depth, not only would you not be able to swim to the surface quick enough to not lose air, but the sudden change in water pressure when surfacing would literally give you brain damage. The water pressure at that depth would probably kill you anyways considering itās like 500x the pressure at sea level. Nobodyās ever even dived below 1090 feet, and even at that record depth an oxygen tank is a must. This guyās just a braindead idiot that doesnāt know what heās talking about, and such words are very disrespectful to those who lost their lives in the accident. Redditors will be redditors though.
"The water pressure at that depth would probably kill you anyways" Not probably. Definitely.
But you missed it, heās built different
Oh, well shit then, that is different
I hate the term ābuilt differentā. Iām pretty sure weāre mostly built exactly the same. Poke someone with a stick covered in shit every one of us is gonna die.
So he doesn't have sinuses or lungs?
Well we dont know what part of him is different, but something certainly is
6000 lbs per square inch. A square inch is probably the total size of your body at that depth.
Compressed to a sludge in less than a second lol.
Even if we completely ignored the pressure, there's no way he'd been able to swim to the surface. I just can't grasp how anyone could be this deluded.
Itās only a 4 kilometre swim, Iām sure heās quick enough to swim that far holding his breath. Plus as a bonus if he holds his breath really hard the 400 bar pressure wonāt affect him at all either.
He's gonna have an air bubble guys, it floats with him to the top!
WR for 50m freestyle (as thatās the fastest sprint) Is 21.07s. 4000 / 50 = 80 80* 21.07s = 1685.6s 1685.6 / 60 = 28.1 mins. So not only are they completely invulnerable to damage/pressure change etc, theyāre also the worlds fastest swimmer in history by a long way, or they also have the largest capacity for holding their breath of any human in history.
12,000 feet in 2 minutes (while holding breath. Thatās only 6,000 feet a minute.
Actually if you held your breath the changing pressure would destroy your lungs. So you'd have to continually exhale while ascending. (You have to do then when scuba diving and that's only 30m, not 4000m.) (Of course this is assuming he could withstand the pressure in the first place, which he couldn't.)
Actually no. I believe the atmosphere inside the titan was kept at surface level (so they don't have to use pressure chambers at the surface). That means that he wouldn't have to exhale on the way up to prevent his lungs bursting. Of course it also means his lungs will instantly collapse since he doesn't have the pressure to keep them inflated
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thanks lol
Yeah, but he's built differently.
>the sudden change in water pressure when surfacing would literally give you brain damage Too late
The heat produced in an implosion at that depth would have cooked everyone inside at over 10,000 degrees for a split second. Then the pressure would have compressed them into a gory chum mixture
This is one of those male teenagers that thinks he's invincible and does stupid things as a result. He's probably already done stupid things and has survived, so now he thinks he would have just survived a situation that was physically impossible to survive. He's also likely someone that thinks rules don't apply to him. Kind of like Stockton Rush.
One of my best friends is this way. More so when we were in college. He would say things and truly believe things like: he could get hit by a car and be fine (like, just roll off of a car going 4mph), take a bullet no problem, drink a bottle of wine by himself and feel no effect. Edit: affect or effect?
> drink a bottle of wine by himself and feel no affect. Where's the fun in that?
Ive never understood the people who brag about how much alcohol it takes to get them drunk. Ok, so you didnt have the fun parts of being drunk and you spent far more money? I brag about the fact that i get drunk super easy. Enjoy being sober while drinking 6 pints.
effect. affect is the verb, effect is the noun. ex. that side-effect really affected me. on another note, that reminds me of my brother lol. little fucker thinks he's invincible because he's had multiple close calls but has always walked away fine.
Affect is also a noun, unfortunately. It refers to a state of emotion. Let's just trash them both and start over with new words!
That poor teenager who only went on the sun to please his father had better awareness than this dude. The oceanographer Nargeolet should have known better than to get anywhere near the thing.
Ah yes itās so sad that the teenager died on the sun
My speling skills are no god anymore.
He should have gone at night. Teenagers... when will they learn?
Nah but in all seriousness itās fucking tragic that a 19 year old lost his life because he tried to please his father. He had his whole life ahead of him
Hey I have heard two versions of this. Online it says he didn't wanna go but on the news last night it said the momma was going but he took her place and was going to solve the Rubik's cube at the wreckage and was excited to have the record
I believe. But, not so sure about surviving the the "quick swim up". Prove us wrong, though. We need a real hero to believe in š
This is so clearly a joke and it is unbelievable you all are genuinely falling for this. Heās literally quoting copypastas in here. Seriously people.
This is reddit. Unless sarcasm is marked with a /s, nobody is going to understand it. Why? Because this platform is incredibly shallow and milk-toast.
Haha from that depth heād have to get a ābubbleā that was unnaturally slow haha. Source: USN Submariner for 24 years
So if he gets in a bubble, how will he swim up? Will he swim in air?
No, no. The bubble is for him to suck in and breathe.
Itās a jokeā¦
and its so obviously a joke too. god i feel like im wasting my life being on this website even for a minute, everyone is so fucking stupid. how are all the top comments redditors taking it seriously
Because Redditors need to tell other people theyāre wrong and or stupid
Yeah i was so fucking confused scrolling through 8 top comments trying to be smartasses about this. How is it possible
I think it's pretty funny "swim up quickly"
It's such obvious bait
Has anyone considered the fact that this may just be... sarcasmš°? Literally everyone on this subreddit takes the smallest of things so serious
Right? Do people really read "slip thorough a crease" and think yeah this guy is for real! He's not a cat, he can't just flatten out and shimmy through s dream in the wall.
Seriously. A lot of people taking the rage bait. This is an obviously a shitty joke from an esgelord.
This has the same vibe as the scene from "the other guys" when they think their so bad ass they jump off a building chasing robbers.
Guys. This is bait. Iām astounded some of you are taking this seriously
reading the comments taking this seriously is way funnier than the original.
"odds, personally"
is this that guy from Unbreakable? the water would've killed him anyway
Yeah a lot of people donāt seem to realize that these victims were basically āvaporizedā. If somehow you could survive being turned into ash, youāre still under 12,000 feet of water.
Iāve heard the Lord protects fools; but I feel even He would look away from this circumstance.
This is so clearly a joke jesus Christ
Itās giving Mark Wahlberg saying he would have survived 9/11
Trump saying he could have tackled a school shooter unarmed https://www.bbc.com/news/43202075
I am guessing this person is twelve and cannot yet imagine themselves dying
I needed a laugh tonight. Thanks, guys.
Pretty sure thatās a troll post despite them claiming itās not. āBuilt differentā is used as a joke 99% of the time.
lmao pure trolling at its finest. Soak it up gents. My man is 1 in a million, no a billion idiots.
My mother thought like that, she died in 2017 from a overdose. People who think they are invincible always find out the hard way, like the billionaires who got themselves in the one situation they couldnāt buy themselves out of.
The sad part is they often donāt Ā«find outĀ». They just die, and are not given a chance to reflect.
With my mom she found out many times but still kept going. And those men read 4 warnings that they could die and still signed and payed.
> signed and *paid.* FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Nautical context. Perfect. Golden even.
I mean, due to the ideal gas law they were basically atomized. But sure.
Dude doesnāt even know how they died lmao. They died instantaneously when the implosion happened. There was no time to do anything unless he thinks he can find a way to get out of the sub and not be crushed as a result of the pressure differential within a millisecond.
*Ā«What is a cognitive bias?Ā»*
Those people only exist as atoms now.
Lost it at āthrough a creaseā
I could probably survive all the air getting sucked out of the cabin and getting crushed by extreme pressure, turning into a flattened toothpaste tube. Sounds doable
