My mind is incapable of fathoming how quick that sub was crushed. It’s eerie to think about. They may’ve heard it creek and before their minds could calculate danger, it was over.
One of the submariners who was interviewed on the BBC said that they had dropped some of their weight, which means that they were trying to return to the surface when it happened. They said that one of the few safety measures that the CEO had included on the submersible was an alarm that told them if the hull was de-laminating (basically falling apart), which would have been what caused a catastrophic implosion. So he said that the CEO likely got the alarm and dropped the weights to try to deal with the emergency situation when it happened. So unfortunately, although the implosion itself would have been pretty much over within seconds, they knew that something bad was happening before they died 😔
@@PatB303 Not "within seconds" - the implosion itself would've been over in much less than a second. But yes, once something starts to fail, its game over at that depth
you know when we were younger and we were scared of the Bermuda triangle and quicksand but in reality none of those are any real danger, I guess implosions is something the next generation has ahaha
That would actually be a neat stage trick to make the audience wonder how you "crushed the can with your mind". No one would expect the can was previously heated
Pressure difference is indeed scary, but one atmosphere is not that big of a deal honestly. It's why it's far easier to build spaceships to withstand the vacuum of space than pressure hulls to withstand deep water pressure. Hell, even airliners pressurize on a regular basis. Still scary tho.
@Broskisnowski It's not so much the pressure, but the pressure-DIFFERENCE...! From iside e.g. the ISS to outer space the pressure-difference is ~1bar (sea-level-airpressure)* But in the case of the 'Titan' we talk about ~400(!)bar - 200x the pressure in a car-tire...! (as one commentator said: they didn't hear the Bang, it was over in a millisecond ☹) *doesn't sound much, but it's 10m water-column...! if you surface too fast when scuba-diving from even only 3m, it can kill you...! ☠
Just so everyone understands the oceangate implosion had nothing to do with heating or cooling air temperatures, it had to do with trillions of gallons of water crushing down on its carbon fiber hull
This is at most a difference of 1 atmosphere of pressure, the sub was under a 375:1 pressure differential - they were probably dead faster than their neurons could fire
@@biroti89 That's why I put in the "probably" because the speed of a human neuron is easy to look up but I don't know how to run the maths involved here, just an intuition it'dve been faster Quick Google search says the speed of a signal through a human neuron is 70-120 meters per second while a collapsing sub hull would move at 2,200 feet per second (671 meters per second) but those values could be off
Adam reminds me of my 8 th grade science teacher . I was a ADHD kid I couldn’t sit there and was failing some classes bla bla . This guy was awesome and I aced his class and won a science award for a 95.5 average for the year . The best part I slipped school that day so never got a chance to show off the award in front of my class mates . Then I hit high school and had a horrible science teacher and barley passed
This is not exactly how the Titan sub was destroyed. When intact, the hull was acting as a protective shell and holding the weight of the column of water above it. When it failed, it was like putting an egg in a hydraulic press. The weight of the water instantly applied all of that pressure and crushed the passenger compartment to tiny bits. There was never a gradual pressure drop inside the cabin. One second it was holding the weight of the water and the next second it did not exist any longer.
Thank you for this clarifying comment. Wish an animation of the Titan sub event would appear here on RUclips-such a great learning opportunity for all of us.

For people wondering about how terrifying or painful the last moments might have been for the passengers of the Titan submarine, it's likely they never even saw their end coming. Here's some quick Google information: The Titanic wreck is around 12,500 feet under water(~3.8km). It's estimated that the Titan was around 3,500 meters deep(~11,482.9 ft). At this depth hull failure would cause an instant implosion that would have lasted around a single millisecond. The estimated time for nerves in the body to send pain signals is around 150milliseconds. When the implosion happens, the air inside the sub rapidly heats to the point of combustion, flash frying everything within. Basically, these people were crushed and incinerated in less time than their body could process. Worst case scenario, they heard the early signs of hull failure and had a brief second to process their coming demise. Another tragic event to look into that could give insight into this- The Byford Dolphin Accident: A deep-sea drilling rig accident that occurred 508ft below water(154.8m)( a significantly lower number than the Titan sub incident). In this event a deep sea mining crew of 4 occupying a diving bell were killed instantly in an explosive decompression. The bodies of the 4 men were recovered, though one was only recovered in pieces. Due to a miscommunication a docking clamp was released prematurely causing an engineering failure and exposing the 4 divers inside to deep sea pressure. This sudden severe change in pressure project one diver out of the vessel through a 24" (60cm) wide(correction: meant to say length, there's definitely a difference...) crack in the door. The remaining 3 divers were cooked from the inside out by their blood being flash boiled within a few milliseconds. Death was instant. Also, to those looking to this video for an explanation of what happened, this is not the same kind of implosion. The implosion of the Titan sub was due to the extreme weight of the ocean depth bearing down on the sub hull. The hull eventually couldn't hold up and failed all at once. A better(though not fully accurate) representation for that kind of implosion you could do at home, would be stacking weights on an aluminum can(or other object of your choosing) until it eventually gives out. Once the point of failure is reached the weights will rapidly crush the object. This would only be representative of the hull failure however, and not the resulting gas and pressure reactions of a sub failure.
you have been posting this all over the internet your knowledge of PV=nrt is misleading yes the air inside the sub was rapidly compressed when the hull failed, including the air in the crews lungs that does not mean the crew was instantly incinerated - you are totally ignoring thermodynamics - the heat from the highly compressed air (6000psi after compression) could not possibly transfer much heat into the bodies of the crew in a milli second. Even if the air temp changed to a thousand degrees the bodies were NOT compressed (except the air in their lungs) because a body is made of tissue and water, and water is not compressible. What did happen to their bodies is they were crushed, like you hit an ant with a 10 lb sledge hammer, instantly turned into a liquid goo and dispersed into the sea water. People have been in basements where there was a gas leak, which ignited, and blew the house off the foundation all around them in an exploding ball of fire. They lost their hair and eyebrows, and had minor 3rd degree burns on exposed skin, and they survived. You would need a nuclear blast to instantly incinerate an adult human body. Likewise with the scuba divers that were exposed to the rapid decompression in the diving bell - when you put water in a vacuum chamber and draw the pressure down to 0.1 PSI the water vaporizes and looks like it is boiling, but it is still at room temperature - it is not creating heat - the divers were not "cooked from the inside out" (as if they were in a giant microwave oven). The gasses in their blood vaporized out of saturation which causes air embolisms throughout the body, and you die. you are not cooked. And BTW, a door that is open 24" is wide enough to walk thru - that is two feet, not a crack.

This really hammers home (at least for me) just how hostile the universe is to human life We evolved to live in 1 atmosphere of pressure and going into ANY other environment is so so deadly
And other life forms evolve from the environment they are in to live under those pressures and circumstances so that we see Creatures there that we wont see anywhere else cause they cant live anywhere else.. world/the universe are truly amazing.. and fragile at the same time
@@komsadehvie2227 For me it blows away the "finely tuned universe" argument; the vast majority of the universe would kill you, it wasn't made for us, we can only survive in very particular conditions. As DarkMatter2525 once put it; we are a fragile flower growing out of a crack in a slab of concrete. We are the puddle of water marveling at how perfectly the hole we find ourselves in happens to fit us. We adapted to the circumstances we found ourselves in, not the other way around, and if circumstances had been different then we would have evolved to survive in THOSE conditions if it was at all possible.
@@drg9812 it's amazing how two people can read the same argument and have the opposite takeaway. for me this strengthens the argument more than anything... that we actually have consciousness in a world where, as far as we know, we simply couldn't exist in 99.99%+ of its space.
@@nonameddog Naw mate, if something is possible and you provide an infinite number of opportunities for it to occur then as long as the possibility is not zero; it is guaranteed to happen no matter how low the probability is.
Imagine guys using this in a movie using reallife props meant to be crushed by someone using that telekinesis instead of CGI they would throw in effect this implosion science on some objects when crushed
@@REY-RUMThis makeshift sub was made to float to the surface in the event of something going wrong so the fact that it hasn’t… leaves us with very few options of what happened. If there was a small crack or even the tiniest fault in the submarine, pressure would cause the implosion. The pressure is so intense towards the ocean floor that not even blue whales or military submarines can go too deep. We barely even have the technology to go that far down in the ocean as it is so to have 5 people in a makeshift sub for this long… things don’t look good. No underwater rescue has gone deeper than 1500 feet and this craft would be at 13,000, to put it into perspective. Bottom line, even if the submarine didn’t implode upon initial communication loss, it probably has by this point. Water pressure is no joke
Well yeah if everyone searching for this video this the video would start trending and hence pop up on your feed because the amount of people watching it
Yeah! And Ghostbusters is always popular but i wonder how many posts had say a few thousand views until some random unforseen thing happens 7 years down the line it's suddenly way popular than when it was released. RUclips is a time capsule. I realised I have to remember that when wanting to correct someone's comment that was made a year ago- what's the point.
Basically, what happened was much more extreme than in this video, because the pressure differential was so much larger on account of being several kilometers under the water. It's safe to say that what the submarine experienced was a true implosion, that is to say, an explosion, but going _inwards._
it would have been so fast and intense the pressure would have caused the air to super heat compressed and cause an explosion that incinerated them and spread debris
In the sub at the bottom of the ocean it happened instantly. Air is a lot lighter than the water 2.5 miles under water. 6000 pounds of pressure over every inch of your body. Instantly. No suffering.
Bodies were Crushed like an egg, and the ooze dissipated…wafting away in the current. The calcium carbonate bones would be crushed and fractured, maybe a few fragments found in the debris pile…just like a seashell found on the seashore.
Here after the submersible accident RIP to the 5 people aboard and condolences to the families of anyone involved sad the titanic is still taking lives to this day
I'm trying to figure out when the best time is to open my window to maximize fresh air and minimize dust being sucked in. Might just have to put a filter on the window...
The train tanker car implosion is a better visual for the sub imo, but even then the sub event would've been so much faster and even more catastrophic of a failure due to the insane pressures at that depth
@@ItzDenz there's no confirmation that the vessel even imploded we can't even find the thing. All we know for sure is that they oxygen is scheduled to run out tomorrow morning
@@MichaelWilson-nc9wsthere not gonna find them. Did you see how small that sub is? They said it drowned to 12k feet. Bro that thing imploded already. I don't know why the news is getting peoples hopes up. They probably died 2 days ago.
And it's now been confirmed that the titan imploded under the pressure, would've been painless. Sad to say but under 4000psi it would've been like slapping a mosquito, instantaneous.
i've heard people describe it as closer to 'atomized' rather than slapped, because the pressure would've also generated a significant amount of heat in that fraction of an instant. not a scientist though, just a rando on the internet repeating what other randos on the internet have told me.
Now I understand what implosion means. I know it is different from the one situation in the water because of the Titan sub tragedy, but still just imagine you are inside that submarine and this implosion thing happens while you are sitting there. My goodness. It's like you've been sealed inside a tin can with your final death wish left unsaid. It is just so creepy.
If it makes you feel better, it has been said that carbon fiber doesn't bend, it just shatters and then everything and everyone is gone, a quick death, maybe less than a second.
@@TR4R Definitely less than a second. Experts in the field say more like a millisecond (1/1000 of a second - faster than a blink of an eye). I've read a couple of times that it would have been so fast that they were dead before they knew anything was wrong.
@@noahsutherland5252And you want to know what tops it off? That no one cared for any of the people on the ship that sunk off the coast of Greece. Instead, they were too busy worrying about 5 people who they knew they couldn't rescue.
if an implosion didn't take place, i wonder how the passengers felt knowing that they were lost deep within the ocean which is quite literally the deadliest (most mysterious) physical feature of earth.
@@TR4Rfrom what I understand, they lost contact about 90 minutes into the descent. The entire descent to the destination would’ve been about 2.5 hours. It is highly probable that the implosion happened the moment they lost contact, and that it wasn’t an initial communication failure.
The ai system directing the algorithm see “implosion” and “pressure” being searched up so it recommends video pertaining to those subjects. Because of what happened…which was supposed to be obvious z
Here after the Titan was crushed. Crazy to see a visual representation of it and think this is basically what happened but faster and quicker than they could anticipate.
This is not the video to watch if you want to know how the OceanGate Titan imploded. It's orders of magnitude away from it in fact. The OceanGate Titan didn't collapse slowly like that can. The two titanium caps at the ends of the carbon fiber tube were pushed together like an accordion. This is why most of the the carbon fiber tube was found stuffed inside one of the end caps.
If you find this interesting, I'd recommend watching some videos on the Soviet Venus landers - fascinating history; they dealt with similarly insane pressures but also insanely high temperatures as well and yet they **STILL** managed to take and transmit images from Venus' surface
From what I read , once this started to implode, it literally burst 💥 because of the pressure from being so deep under water . It’s said they felt no pain because it would have happened so fast and they just liquified. That sound horrible .
@@DiamondDs504 yes they implode as well . Sounds really insane ? Like we just can’t imagine. The pressure from being underwater is just too strong it’s like popping a ballon … most likely they will not find their bodies since they basically were crushed to nothing
And that tin can only had a max of 14.2-14.7 psi (whatever atmospheric is there) I can’t imagine 5,500-5,750 psi which is the average where the sub that’s lost was diving to.
the fact that its less than an atmosphere of pressure is scary. and thinkin the titan sub was at around 400 atmospheres of pressure is even more scary.

We are the puddle of water marveling at how perfectly the hole we find ourselves in happens to fit us. We adapted to the circumstances we found ourselves in, not the other way around, and if circumstances had been different then we would have evolved to survive in THOSE conditions if it was at all possible.
@@drg9812 it's amazing how two people can read the same argument and have the opposite takeaway.
for me this strengthens the argument more than anything... that we actually have consciousness in a world where, as far as we know, we simply couldn't exist in 99.99%+ of its space.

This comment is super underrated lol
After hearing about the catastrophic implosion of the Titan Submarine, this can show you just how deadly mother nature can be.
Yeah, well, people wanna go poking around where they have no business doing so.
physics not nature
It’s even more deadly bc it’s 13k feet under
@@keaie8681what? We wouldn’t have to worry about the physics of the ocean if there was no ocean 😂
Or how stupid people can be.
I bet Myth Busters never thought this would become something everyone needs to see lol
They thought nothing would ever implode again?
We don't need to see it. 99.9% of us don't plan on traveling 2 miles below sea level.
@@jeffghant4760or if we do, we would be using a manless submersible.
dont worry, not everyone is rich enough to buy a $250k coffin
It would make a good magic trick
Imagine guys using this in a movie using reallife props meant to be crushed by someone using that telekinesis instead of CGI they would throw in effect this implosion science on some objects when crushed
That was literally what i was thinking of Randy
Im trying to figure out how I could get this set up without people noticing
This is likely what happened to the five people on board the submarine going to tour the titanic. What a horrible way to die. RIP
I came here for the same exact thing wow
I’m here too for this reason
Yeah but here it imploded because of the steam cooling, I still don’t get how the sub would have imploded
@@REY-RUMThis makeshift sub was made to float to the surface in the event of something going wrong so the fact that it hasn’t… leaves us with very few options of what happened. If there was a small crack or even the tiniest fault in the submarine, pressure would cause the implosion. The pressure is so intense towards the ocean floor that not even blue whales or military submarines can go too deep. We barely even have the technology to go that far down in the ocean as it is so to have 5 people in a makeshift sub for this long… things don’t look good. No underwater rescue has gone deeper than 1500 feet and this craft would be at 13,000, to put it into perspective. Bottom line, even if the submarine didn’t implode upon initial communication loss, it probably has by this point. Water pressure is no joke
@@myoona648they definitely imploded and sank to the bottom. We never finding them rip
Extreme water pressure in a air filled submarine or submersible causes an implosion to.
ARA san Juan
Yeah, the air is less dense than the water so naturally the water will crush the object.
Yeah but here it imploded because of the steam cooling, I still don’t get how the sub would implode
All of a sudden this video is a must watch
Well yeah if everyone searching for this video this the video would start trending and hence pop up on your feed because the amount of people watching it
Me: I wonder why this was recommended to me in my RUclips algorithm?
The rest of my watch history: exclusively Titan sub videos
It's funny how old videos on RUclips from years ago always come in handy. 😂😂😂
Yeah! And Ghostbusters is always popular but i wonder how many posts had say a few thousand views until some random unforseen thing happens 7 years down the line it's suddenly way popular than when it was released. RUclips is a time capsule. I realised I have to remember that when wanting to correct someone's comment that was made a year ago- what's the point.
Missing submersible could have imploded. I came here to understand what it means when they say that.
It did
Basically, what happened was much more extreme than in this video, because the pressure differential was so much larger on account of being several kilometers under the water. It's safe to say that what the submarine experienced was a true implosion, that is to say, an explosion, but going _inwards._
I am so so sad this series has been stopped from airing, my fav show of all times 😢❤
Same
I would love to see the view stats for this video and how they changed after the Titan incident.
This came to my feed while looking into the submarine implosion.
For the crew of Titan I sure hope the implosion went a lot faster than this! RIP
It would have been instant.
I guess that's the only good thing to take away from this, is that the passengers wouldn't have felt a thing.
RUclips Byford Dolphin incident, pretty much what happened to them
it would have been so fast and intense the pressure would have caused the air to super heat compressed and cause an explosion that incinerated them and spread debris
@@punkhop23 An implosion into an explosion? Kinda reminds me of how they make nuclear fusion work in the lab
Yeah, within milliseconds. They wouldn’t have even known. RIP 💔
Best teacher ever!! This is how science should be taught, not on whiteboards!
Last genuinely relevant comment before the algorithm does something unfunny.
I can’t imagine how they got crushed in the submersible 😢 This is absolute horror. Hope they rest in peace. Condolences to their families.
In the sub at the bottom of the ocean it happened instantly. Air is a lot lighter than the water 2.5 miles under water. 6000 pounds of pressure over every inch of your body.
Instantly. No suffering.
Basically, they were Obliterated by extremely extreme overpressure
If it helps they died before they even realized something went wrong
They were told by experts it wouldn't work, they chose thier own fate it was thier own fault to cheap out on a submarine
Bodies were Crushed like an egg, and the ooze dissipated…wafting away in the current. The calcium carbonate bones would be crushed and fractured, maybe a few fragments found in the debris pile…just like a seashell found on the seashore.
RUclips recommendations has an interesting sense of humor
Even RUclips algorithms has dark humor.
Here after the submersible accident RIP to the 5 people aboard and condolences to the families of anyone involved sad the titanic is still taking lives to this day
i would love to have a teacher like this
Who else is here because of the submarine
who else copies comments and still gets likes somehow
@@vinnieg6161You do Vinnie!! 😂
Of course the algorithm recommends this to us now.
pretty sick... everyone exploiting this tragedy..but.... I won't lie sci3nce rabbit hole is educational. I can build my own sub at this rate
RUclips: Wanna know how the submarine imploded?
Me: Yes
I'm trying to figure out when the best time is to open my window to maximize fresh air and minimize dust being sucked in.
Might just have to put a filter on the window...
Rest in peace to the missing submarine people 🥺🥺
I liked that you don't take yourself too serious!
Here's the algo recommending every ancient video about the Titanic, The Titanic, the Titon and implosion science.
I love mythbuster. Used to watch it a lot when I was a kid.
Saw this happen to a 1.5 million gallon propane tank down in texas a few yrs ago. It was crazy.
Sending condolences to family and friends of those who died on board OceanGate's "Titan"❤🌹
With how "gate" is used to describe horrible events now a days... eg "Watergate," "Gamergate," etc. I feel "Oceangate" was just asking for trouble
Who else came here because of the Titan submersible?
yuupp 😊😢
yep…. R.I.P them
The train tanker car implosion is a better visual for the sub imo, but even then the sub event would've been so much faster and even more catastrophic of a failure due to the insane pressures at that depth
Yep
Sadly...me
RIP the 5 submarine passengers. Horrible way to die…
Actually it would probably be super instant. Much better than running out of oxygen while locked inside in my opinon
They run out of oxygen tomorrow morning, they're still alive most likely
@@MichaelWilson-nc9wsno they’re not not if an implosion as demonstrated in this video occurred
@@ItzDenz there's no confirmation that the vessel even imploded we can't even find the thing. All we know for sure is that they oxygen is scheduled to run out tomorrow morning
@@MichaelWilson-nc9wsthere not gonna find them. Did you see how small that sub is? They said it drowned to 12k feet. Bro that thing imploded already. I don't know why the news is getting peoples hopes up. They probably died 2 days ago.
Love the way RUclips recommends this video right after we find out the sub imploded
Ah yes, RUclips recommendations bringing me the most recent 7 year old information
Watching this makes a lot of sense now regarding the Titan Submersible. May they rest in peace😢🙏🏿
And it's now been confirmed that the titan imploded under the pressure, would've been painless. Sad to say but under 4000psi it would've been like slapping a mosquito, instantaneous.
Sheeesh .... I can't even imagine it.
i've heard people describe it as closer to 'atomized' rather than slapped, because the pressure would've also generated a significant amount of heat in that fraction of an instant. not a scientist though, just a rando on the internet repeating what other randos on the internet have told me.
@@Shiruvi 😂😂😂😂😂 Randos on the Internet. Still a fairly good attempt at an explanation
@@ShiruviI heard that from an article from the internet about how the US Navy said the internal air would heat significantly due to the pressure
*6,000 psi
Now I understand what implosion means. I know it is different from the one situation in the water because of the Titan sub tragedy, but still just imagine you are inside that submarine and this implosion thing happens while you are sitting there. My goodness. It's like you've been sealed inside a tin can with your final death wish left unsaid. It is just so creepy.
If it makes you feel better, it has been said that carbon fiber doesn't bend, it just shatters and then everything and everyone is gone, a quick death, maybe less than a second.
@@TR4R Definitely less than a second. Experts in the field say more like a millisecond (1/1000 of a second - faster than a blink of an eye). I've read a couple of times that it would have been so fast that they were dead before they knew anything was wrong.
7 year old video but we're now all here since the Titan incident.
RUclips been recommending this since last Sunday
The coolest experiment I have seen.
However I am very saddened by the Titan tragedy.
And it’s sad how many people are making fun of it even though it could have been totally avoided by multiple occasions
@@noahsutherland5252And you want to know what tops it off? That no one cared for any of the people on the ship that sunk off the coast of Greece. Instead, they were too busy worrying about 5 people who they knew they couldn't rescue.
don't be, they were all soulless billionaires without a scrap of empathy for the thousands of people they exploit and leave to die.
The Titan exploration sub got me here, i hope those 5 people didnt implode
Unfortunately that was the case.
if an implosion didn't take place, i wonder how the passengers felt knowing that they were lost deep within the ocean which is quite literally the deadliest (most mysterious) physical feature of earth.
They arrived to the Titanic wreck site, just didn't make it back to the surface, they were crushed.
@@TR4Rthey never got to the bottom...
@@TR4Rfrom what I understand, they lost contact about 90 minutes into the descent. The entire descent to the destination would’ve been about 2.5 hours. It is highly probable that the implosion happened the moment they lost contact, and that it wasn’t an initial communication failure.
@@cybergus18I mean they're probably at the bottom now.
It’s both interesting and terrifying to know that that’s what happened to that submarine.
At the sub depth it wouldn't have been gradual, as soon as the hull failed the sub was obliterated
This video is over seven years old. Why is it all of a sudden now being recommended to me?
RUclips algorithm.
The ai system directing the algorithm see “implosion” and “pressure” being searched up so it recommends video pertaining to those subjects. Because of what happened…which was supposed to be obvious z
Idk
Here after the Titan was crushed. Crazy to see a visual representation of it and think this is basically what happened but faster and quicker than they could anticipate.
This is not the video to watch if you want to know how the OceanGate Titan imploded. It's orders of magnitude away from it in fact. The OceanGate Titan didn't collapse slowly like that can. The two titanium caps at the ends of the carbon fiber tube were pushed together like an accordion. This is why most of the the carbon fiber tube was found stuffed inside one of the end caps.
I’m here trying learn of implosion because of the submersible incident.. my condolences to the fam 🙏🏽
If you find this interesting, I'd recommend watching some videos on the Soviet Venus landers - fascinating history; they dealt with similarly insane pressures but also insanely high temperatures as well and yet they **STILL** managed to take and transmit images from Venus' surface
You don’t really mean that…condolences….
How strange, to have this recommended at a time like this...
the algorithm was wild for this one
Thank you for dissecting and breaking it down because people like me I couldn't understand what that meant but now I'm watching your show thank you
I need a simulation of a submersible. It’s hard to picture and imagine it
we need @Practical Engineering on it lol
From what I read , once this started to implode, it literally burst 💥 because of the pressure from being so deep under water . It’s said they felt no pain because it would have happened so fast and they just liquified. That sound horrible .
@@xCarxMellaxliquefied 😳⁉️⁉️
@@DiamondDs504 yes they implode as well . Sounds really insane ? Like we just can’t imagine. The pressure from being underwater is just too strong it’s like popping a ballon … most likely they will not find their bodies since they basically were crushed to nothing
@@DiamondDs504 sorry that is very graphic. I don’t know how old you , but I hope that it’s not traumatic to you
Man I miss this show. Taught me all about science as a young buck
This showingg up in my homepage 7 years later
Used to teach this in my Science teaching career. The kids were shocked when the collapsing can collapsed.
The engineers who wrote the RUclips algorithm are humbly smiling at their accomplishments
There's no way this was just a random recommendation 😂
Hes about to have a nice chunk of change coming to him because everybody came to watch his video on science after 7 years 😅😂
The channel looks to be owned by the Discovery Channel so I'm not sure Adam would actually see a cent
This video was uploaded 7 years ago and youtube is recommending it today. Odd, thats no coincidence.
RUclips recommended has been dark lately…
in case of implosion
look directly at implosion
valve,men of culture,lol im here because of this
And that tin can only had a max of 14.2-14.7 psi (whatever atmospheric is there) I can’t imagine 5,500-5,750 psi which is the average where the sub that’s lost was diving to.
Exactly. You gotta put it into perspective. Compare variables. They are definitely gone bro. Wow
Wondering how it will look like? Are they really squished to paste? :o
My goodness 😢
@@OwGosHh same. What has happened to the bodies ?
@@OwGosHheach like a clif bar, maybe even smaller
RUclips algorithm is ruthless.
RUclips recommended knows what everyone is thinking…
I'm here because of it appeared in my YT Page .. and yes, I did watched few videos about the OceanGate incidence
Anyone else here because of the Titan incident and you wanted to find out what implosion look like ?
No I’m just really interested in implosions and explosions. It’s kind of a thing I do you know what I mean?
Came to learn about implosions
2:00 Use the Force!
@Cadeboy 13 you mean me?
Love the timing of some of these recommendations.
Evidently this video is trending and YT thinks I want to see it now. 7yrs later.
oh god RUclips made this pop up after the implosion of titan
RIP to the submarine that happened they will always be remembered and so sad😢😢
Mini Submarine missing brought me here
Bro my whole recommended page turned into "what is implosion, how powerful is it, etc.." lmao
the fact that its less than an atmosphere of pressure is scary. and thinkin the titan sub was at around 400 atmospheres of pressure is even more scary.
The submersible brought me here
DAAAAAMN RUclips!!
LOL YOU MORBID AF TO SUGGEST THIS AT THIS TIME!!
Simple trending videos will always pop up if enough people watch them hence in this case has to be more than a million people recently watching this
its crazy how 1 week ago, this video had 200k views...
I gotta love getting recommended by this by RUclips.
I like how all the videos about the implosion starded poping out on my main page after the Titan disaster.
