    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.

    Based on conversations you had with survivors of such deaths?

    Specialized has been warning us for years about those cheap Chinese carbon fiber frames.

    Does "Blink 182" refer to the number of milliseconds it took?

    If it wasn’t the fast implosion, just imagen the thoughts and group dynamics knowing the air supply was running out.
    “If I kill three people, does that mean I can live longer and hopefully get rescued?”
    So the world is filled with tubular entities. Food goes in one end and shit comes out the other. Sperm goes in and babies come out.

    There’s just so much intersection/overlap with this story.

    Who had Blink-182 - submarine tragedy - murderous orcas on their 2023 bingo card?

    I want the Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg cage fight to be held in a submarine, at the Titanic.

    complete armchair haven't thought about subs since Sean Connery take: any implosion means it was over fast for them. Sounds like maybe they got to see the wreck too.

    It was quick, that is to be sure.

    Most would not be able to process it.

    Many souls do not even know they are dead.
