OceanGate Titan Implosion = 300 sticks of dynamite

Here I go through a simple physics analysis to figure out
a) energy of the implosion of 8.1 m^3 Titan at 3800m depth = 307 sticks of dynamite
b) This is equivalent to the potential energy of all 5 occupants elevated to 78 km above the surface of the Earth and dropped, without ever reaching terminal velocity
c) This is equivalent to the kinetic energy of all 5 occupants traveling at 2800 mph and hitting a brick wall.
In conclusion: when the Titan imploded, all occupants were instantly torn to atoms and dissolved in the sea.

Very interesting to see the numbers laid out and just mind boggling to even try and visualize that kind of energy. Thanks for this 👍🏽
