Titanic Tourist Submarine Goes Missing

Doesn't the nitrogen in the blood turn into gas bubbles and erupt, instantly boiling you alive from the inside out? I may be getting mixed up with something else.
The nitrogen bubbles in blood are definitely what happens when a scuba diver returns from depth too quickly, and becomes "the bends" - but it happens on a slower scale than this obviously (and from far shallower depths).

So yeah I can imagine this is probably somehow connected with being inside the pressure vessel and then abruptly being "at depth" as soon as it ruptures.

As for it boiling the blood, maybe that's what happens, but you wouldn't feel it surely, it'd be too quick.

A horrific way to die? No way, it'd be instantaneous; the blink of an eye. Remember the twisted bodies that were found after that explosion in Beirut a couple of years ago? The aftermath looked horrific but there's no way they felt a thing, too quick an end.
 
Maybe a bit of both? Let's check off all the cards in 'Horrific ways to die bingo' :oops:
Either way, hopefully it all happened instantly and none of them knew anything about it.

May they all Rest in Peace

That's only if you have a stable pressure vessel to boil in. These would have been thrown into a very fast and thorough car crusher.

Thanks for the replies. I was pretty much just guessing and poking away in the dark as I don't really know anything about these things.
 

Anyone?
Hopefully they have made a few upgrades. Certainly the controls looked this this would be an improvement

Boggles the mind that everything wouldn't have a hardwired backup. There is a phrase in engineering called single failure criteria, when any single action on essential equipment can be replicated in the event of its fault. Safety regs are often written in blood people
 

Anyone?

I don't know will this sub also have a dodgy carbon fibre tub too? Hopefully because lightning couldn't strike twice now...could it?? 🤪

If you lower the relative pressure of the environment the body is in that would happen. In this case, that's about the only grim thing that probably did not happen.
