The U.S. Coast Guard said Thursday a remote operated vehicle (ROV) discovered a "debris field" near the Titanic wreckage site where a submersible went missing.
I really didn’t care too much about what was going on until last night when I realized the horror of sitting in a metal tube, knowing you probably won’t be rescued with a ticking timer of when your resources would run out. It seems like the perfect horror movie but irl. I hope implosion was the cause because the alternative has cause my brain to go into a full panic / existential mode and I am just an observer.
Thankfully, if the water pressure is enough to crush the steel hull of a submarine, then you’d be obliterated before you could even think about it. That’s probably the best way to go in such a situation…
Better to die in an instant than the alternative.

There was enough pressure to crush an atomic submarine at 1/5 the depth
So they willingly went so far down into a no go depth that guarantees death just to see the Titanic? I don’t get it.
Titanic is a piece of history, and while I’m not willing to risk my life to see it with my own eyes, some are willing to.
It wasn’t even with their own eyes, the sub had no portholes. It was just an external camera and a screen inside the tube of death.Edit: I haven’t been paying close enough attention to the story apparently.
There was a porthole, it was one of the big safety concerns surrounding the submersible.
