Yeah more or less. So imagine that, but 277 times more powerful.

In an extremely morbid way it's actually probably one of the few truly "painless" ways to die since death comes so swiftly and completely that your brain and nerves can't even send or receive a pain signal before they've been atomized into fine red mist.

He also claimed that flammable materials were used on the inside of the sub.
Well that is certainly damning.

Lochridge , the guy responsible for safety of crew and clients, objects to constant pressure cycling weakening existing flaws in the 1/3 scale model, asks for non destructive testing to look for flaws and is denied. The viewport only certified to 1,300 meters, he objects and again company didn't want to pay for a design to 4,000m.

He expresses concern, gets fired.

It sounds like the construction process can introduce flaws and the tube would have needed to be tested to see if any flaws were present to safely use the tube in a production vehicle. I assume this would mean several tubes might need to be made which is $$$$$$$ so the CEO invoked his we're doing this for innovation bit and ignored him.

My money is on implosion. If so I wonder if the vehicle might become part of the titanic viewing experience of the future.

Carbon fibre hull. loving hell.

People have already made the point of between 0 and 1 atmospheres of pressure (:argh:). Cyclical stress from each dive will make defects more and more likely, and given general standards I doubt they've got any inspection regime. I'm now far more convinced that the submarine imploded.

... Not that it's going to be much better if they're on the surface; submarines are not designed for surface stability, so it's going to be hellish for those inside even in the most calm seas. Given the stress they're under, I doubt that 40 hours is accurate.

No transponder, no automatic ballast detachment, no internal release mechanism, no wired controls. This is great fodder for engineering safety lectures.

I originally thought that failure other than the pressure vessel was more likely because of how much the CEO crowed about how they spent so much money and resources on just that part. Since then, not only have I learned that they did that in stupid ways, but they did SO many things wrong that we likely will have no idea what caused it unless we find the sub.

An explosive decompression at a 4km depth kills everybody on board on a timescale measured in milliseconds. If there is any window in that time for the brain to process pain and for it to be recognized by conscious thought, it is utterly brief.

They might find the cradle if it's close to Titanic. The sub is in small pieces and the people were a nice snack for some crabs.

Pretty sure these trips cost in the 6 figure range. I don't have a ton of sympathy for people that rich.

However they are possibly going to die in one of the more mentally terrible ways. In the dark, slowly running out of oxygen with no chance of escape. It's only slightly better than being buried alive in a casket.

From a few similar stories quite often they die of hypothermia before oxygen becomes a factor. Sometimes it is air related though.
