Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot. They're lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar. Tuscany fried bats.

Imploding across a 300-400bar delta... they were prob extruded out of the back of the sub before the inrushing water even touched them.
Think of the spiral [helical] space left between the threads of a bolt and its threaded bolt hole through a thick steel pressure vessel...myeah. Extruded.

There’s pics of what that looks like from the byford dolphin accident, if one has the intestinal fortitude for that sort of thing.

We all gotta die some time. And you can't go through life without a little humor now and then. Otherwise what's the point of living?

From a documentary I saw the titanium ends were just glued on with adhesive to the main crapon fiber tube. If the cf shell in the middle deformed a little from the pressure I'd imagine they could just pop off off like champagne corks.

If you are talking about the submersible, as someone said, it would have happened so fast their brains would not even had time to process it. Absolutely painless.
