In the event of a hull failure, is the whole thing getting squished like a pancake, or does the water just blast in through an opening and obliterate them?

Depends how deep the failure was.
1000 feet? It'd fill up with water.
Near the titanic? Pancake.
If it was just the view port that failed at that depth I think others have said it would enter the oxygen rich environment fast enough to ignite the cabin and not only kill them instantly but the water would mince them.

I've just realised that since their control system is a mid-2000's 3rd-party game controller there's a non-zero chance they went wildly off-course because one of the analog sticks was drifting.

They've acclimated to the stench and lie mostly in silence. Their communication is a slow exchange of notes which sometimes threatens their careful, controlled breathing. Movement and speech are rationed, save for the deliberate, rhythmic banging one member is permitted to make every half hour, and despaired curses at Stockton.

:hmmyes: all perfectly lit. It seems likely the LEDs would be some sort of camping rechargeable affair, and those will easily outlast the air/water.

btw if the sub is somehow still intact this long, literally 100% that someone was murdered to conserve air.

The pressure essentially crushes everything in 1/10th of a second. Sombody half blinked and everybody was jelly before he opened his eyes. Every air pocket like lungs or sinus was immediately annihilated

somebody posted studies of carbon fiber failures under compression in one of the threads on this and it just rips open when it fails. so some fissure opened up and instantly killed them probably

Carbon fiber's failure modes depend on the layup method. If the carbon was laid up in a criss-cross-apple-sauce pattern it can be quite strong.

this has got to be the best way to go in their situation, slowly dying of co2 poisoning or suffocation sounds way worse

would this save air?

my non expert thought is that without an immune system keeping all the micro mass in line, the micro biome would use more ox than resting calm humans.

SCIENCE



Is it possible in a year or two that some Mythbusters-style group will take a carbon fiber sub rigged for failure down to depth (or a simulated identical environment) and let it pop just so we can all visualize the tremendous forces at work in this disaster?

I think it would be in everyone's best interest:

1) The people who genuinely care about the victims will have peace of mind after seeing how quick and likely painless their deaths were
2) The rest of us irreverent classless heathens will get to marvel at how totally awesome the implosion was and see if it indeed burst into flames for a microsecond

It'd save air but since by all accounts the Titan has no ability to vent externally the decomposing corpse smell would overwhelm the survivors pretty quickly.

Yeah it will go to the wives (probably several) and biological children first. He will get money but he won’t be anywhere close to a billionaire

The sticks normally pull right off and have keyed metal that could be used on some soft tissue. If you could sharpen it you probably have a decent improvised weapon.

Or maybe you just bludgeon them to death
