I’d be thinking why did I even do this and now my family is going to miss me, when you feel like you have so many more goals to accomplish and then that’s the end of it

abc3643 · Answer

You literally wouldn't. The implosion would happen about twice the speed of sound and, with all the hydrocarbons in the air, that sudden compression of the atmosphere in a millisecond or so would cause the hydrocarbons and air to combust causing an extreme explosion that would have rendered everyone as dust even before they would know anything was wrong. Hopefully, that's exactly what happened - that they didn't know anything was wrong and that the sub had an undetected weak spot that cause the hull to instantly collapse. This from the BBC does a nice job of explaining... ============================  TITLE: Titan sub implosion: What we know about catastrophic event 
 Published 
   What happens in an implosion? When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500mph (2,414km/h) - that's 2,200ft (671m) per second, says Dave Corley, a former US nuclear submarine officer. The time required for complete collapse is about one millisecond, or one thousandth of a second. A human brain responds instinctually to a stimulus at about 25 milliseconds, Mr Corley says. Human rational response - from sensing to acting - is believed to be at best 150 milliseconds. The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapours. When the hull collapses, the air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion, Mr Corley says. Human bodies incinerate and are turned to ash and dust instantly.

As of today the remains of the Titan sub have been found near the remains of the Titanic ship. The evidence suggests that the sub suffered an implosion due to the extreme pressure at those depths and that most likely this happened less than 2 hours after they submerged. Some sources say that is takes about 2 hours to get down their ( about 13,000 ft) and that it happened about 1 hour and 45 minutes in. This means that more likely than not they did not even reach the Titanic when the sub imploded. Keep in mind that the pressure at those depts is around 6,000 PSI ( pounds per square inch). Compare that to the average surface pressure on Earth at sea level which is about 14.7 PSI.

The titan sub was a prototype and , as per some sources , it was never certified by experts. Also , two former employees had voiced concerns about the sub some years ago.

When the sub imploded their death was instantaneous. At 6,000 PSI the human body would be crushed in a fraction of a second and it would not even register to them what had happened. Their was no pain in their death.

EmmaMary · Answer

Obviously it would be beyond all comprehension how I would be feeling, that's if I was somehow miraculously still alive.

It naturally goes without saying that during this unimaginable frightening, scaring time, my last thoughts would be that of my beloved husband, our extremely precious children, and our families and friends.

Please Note: Thankfully this situation would never arise, simply because I've got more sense and gumption than to ever entertain entering a "deathtrap" that's neither been thoroughly tested, certified or insured.

menina · Answer

I couldn't stop thinking about this tragedy since I first heard about it. They really didn't consider the risks. They thought that money could buy their lives. Money doesn't buy everything. I feel sorry for them and their families, especially for the 19 year old. He had a whole life ahead of him.

Honestly, I wouldn't put myself in that situation even if I was a millionaire. It was too small and I have no interest in messing with Nature and dead people. Besides, there was nothing beautiful or interesting to see, that site tells a tragic story. It was a terrible decision.

From what I heard on the news, they probably didn't have time to think. They probably didn't understand what was happening.

To answer your question, if I had time to process I would be scared and I wouldn't be thinking about everything I didn't do.

Leapfrog00 · Answer

I would probably think "After all I've been through, THIS is how it ends?" lol. Then after freaking out, I would be thinking "Actually, I'm ready. Just take me!" I just hope I don't get sent back here. I never want to come back to this Earth! It's seriously a horrible place. I don't understand why so many people see so much beauty. The only beauty left is what man hasn't destroyed. People say hell is bad. I really don't see hell being much worse.

There are places here that are horrid and torturous. I think Earth is the real hell! I was in a coma once and it was so peaceful! It was kinda freaky at first, but not as scary as a person would think, lol

RedHotSallyJo · Answer

In the pic you posted, the kid on the left begged his father to not make him get in that death trap. Some people on this site said they all deserved to die because they were rich. I don't know if the kid is rich or not, but he did NOT want to do it, and now he's dead. His mother said that when her boy was dying, she could feel it in her soul.

Paul Allen (Co-founder of Microsoft) has these types of submersibles on his yachts. But he sure as heck wouldn't get in one. Paul rarely goes on one of his yachts. But when he's bored in his office in Seattle, he will call one of the captains of his yachts, and tell them to drop the submersible. Then he kicks back in his office and controls it with a joystick. That's what should have happened with this incident. Just let the rich folks play with the sub from above the surface. But the biggest crime was making the youngster get on board against his will.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

I wouldn't go in such expeditions, especially that i'm someone who fears the sea since i don't know how to swim hehe
It's really a tragic end to these people, but they should of known that this company called ocean gate had safety problems and there are a lot of questions about it's submarine's safety measures, you can't go to such depths knowing that the sub ain't 100% safe, if they just read the articles about the company's past, they would be aware that it's not 100% clear for such expeditions...
The titan had blew from inside to outside only after an hour and a little bit more after going down, now it's wreck is near the titanic...

May they R. I. P

zagor · Answer

Likely they didn't have much time to think about it, though there may have been signs of impending doom such as creaking and groaning of the craft. Once structural failure occurred it would be almost instantaneous at that depth. I thought I read somewhere that they had dropped their weights which may have been an indication that they were aware there was a problem and were trying to return to the surface. Or else they may have just completed their tour and were trying to get back up assuming things were normal.

robocop666 · Answer

It imploded so it was over in milliseconds, they thought nothing. Maybe they saw it coming for a split second but not long enough to think.

I was terrified they would be locked together for days with no electricity. Running out of air, freezing cold being rocked about in the waves. No food or water. Eventually one would die and rot so the smell would terrify the others and they would wait their turn to die. Maybe even falling asleep and waking up to being hurled across the room in the waves and colliding heads with someone. Breaking bones in your face.

It is comforting knowing it was over in milliseconds and they were vaporised in the blink of an eye. Slow and painful death would be terrible.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I'd be thinking;  this is it? Really? This is how my story ends? Trapped at the bottom of the ocean in a sub? I'm really saddened by how so many people are responding to the situation; it's just so sad and people are taking glee in it.

BeMuse · Answer

If II was a gay pedophile that was connected to Jeffrey Epstein stuck in a sub under the ocean being tortured slowly to death like they did with children on Little St. James as air ran out I'd probably blame Trump. That's their answer for everything that goes wrong for them.

fyrds · Answer

I would be thinking "well, this is the price of adventure - sometimes it ends badly". Most of the people on there are explorers of some kind and have done dangerous things in their lives. It was probably always going to end this way somehow (I feel sorry for the 19yo son though).

Adam1978 · Answer

I would never enter that metal casket. Being bolted into a metal barrel that hasn't been tested and was built by rookies. Yeah that's death almost guaranteed.

AviatorTom · Answer

If I was the 19yo, I'd think "Shit, I have so many things I'm going to miss now."

If I was any of the others, I'd be pissed off that I chose to do something that someone said was dangerous, and I didn't believe them.

Anonymous · Answer

the passengers had no idea they even died. the implosion happened in less than 1 second.

personally, i would never put myself in that situation. i hate the ocean. i'm claustrophobic. it's a waste of money that could buy a house... the waiver mentioned death THREE times. no thank you.

ShesRad80 · Answer

mine would be im at peace with life, take me.

with the catastrophic implosion they really didn't have time for last thoughts and luckily felt nothing, probably heard a loud noise then boom it imploded. it was a lucky way to go, sad as it is. because at least they didn't run out of air and die that way.

hahahmm · Answer

I'd be laughing because the only way I'm in that shoddy submarine is because I secretly found out I had some incurable cancer & I took out a 30 million dollar life insurance policy 1 month earlier & now my family is getting the money.

Sixgunsound · Answer

The same things I was thinking on any other submarine I've been on. In this case though, they went woke, their hull broke. Sorry not sorry that I'm not sad about their poor life choices. Money doesn't buy happiness, class, or intelligence.

Lliam · Answer

"Theemth like I fucked myself. I don't know if I feel ludicruth or ecthtatic."

"I should have gone on the Finding Nemo ride at Disneyland like my wife told me, but I had to be a big shot. Fuck the fucking Titanic!"

richardcory · Answer

How embarrassing it is to die on the titanic a hundred years later...

But more seriously, I'd understand that I took risks in life and one of them got me.

More likely though I'd be thinking - slow suffocation is not fun.

SarahP080102 · Answer

I hope they were killed instantly in am implosion so as not to have to suffer the fate of awaiting death via suffocation.

Bricealan · Answer

I saw on the news this morning that the Coast Guard had seen a 'debris field" in the area of the Titanic Cannot imagine what my thoughts would have been at that moment

KatherineJ · Answer

I can’t even imagine what those thoughts would be. But there is no way I would have gone on such a dangerous outing to begin with. I don’t like big risks.

Sirenboobzilla · Answer

My thoughts would be with my loved ones. Hoping, even though futile, that they don't grieve for me so much that they forget to live.

BadApple69 · Answer

They didn’t have time to think about it. It was instantaneous.

coachTanthony · Answer

I should of never gotten on here after I saw this ship is ran by a playstation controller.

RingOfFire · Answer

Just goes to show you there are still a lot of very dangerous places on planet earth: the depths of the ocean, the inhospitable desolate desserts and Democrat run cities.

cloud9vortex1234 · Answer

From what I heard it happens quickly. They don't have time suffer. The Money Hungry Sub Owner really went out of his way to make it unsafe. The Sub was cracking and creeking in Previous Trip. It was a Ticking Time Bomb.

OddBeMe · Answer

It’s reported, and I’m hoping, they all died in an instant. Quashed like soggy apples.

But I’ve only been in car wrecks but I can say I’m highly attuned to everything, almost like slow motion. Not sure why. I even remember several of the fcks faces who pulled out in front of me and I had to provide medical care until the cops got there.

SassyAussieAddy · Answer

Nothing could get me in that home made sub.

The way the media reported on this was disgusting.

YesterdaysChild · Answer

Well, guess I don't have to pay my student loans now.

msc545 · Answer

I would be chastising myself for being stupid enough to even get on such an unsafe boat.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

Last time I was dying I thought of my family and how would anyone explain to my rescue kittens why I don't come around and play with them anymore.

lightbulb27 · Answer

I should have learned not to trust what people are selling me and do my own research...

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

I could've spent my money on a sex doll and still alive banging that thing every night.

iheartwomen · Answer

well i’m too fucking poor to spend 250,000 to go in a diy sub that’s controlled by a playstation controller

Dargil · Answer

That's that creaking sound? Oh, oh. There's a leak... THRUP!!!

sheikalana · Answer

I would eventually accept that there was no chance of survival and think to myself what a sh*tty way of dyein this ws supposed to be fun.

FreyaRed · Answer

When I wake up will the Titanic band still play music?

exitseven · Answer

I would be pissed that I was going to die and leave all that money behind just so I could tell other rich assholes that I saw the titanic.

Anonymous · Answer

I don’t think they knew, it would’ve all happened within a fraction of a second. I doubt their brains would’ve had time to make sense of anything.

mobiusforniner · Answer

I should have listened to my engineering professors in college

jshm2 · Answer

The ships hull, I would imagine!  Joking aside. It is a tragedy they have died.

belle_kai · Answer

I wish I could speak to my family and how they must feel worrying about me

Anonymous · Answer

I would’ve braced my core as if doing one of my incredible deadlifts, surviving the pressure coming down around me, then swam back to the surface with unimaginable grace. No thoughts, only actions, like a true hero.

AnusNdaPainus · Answer

Whatever happens, happens

Jonnyanalog · Answer

From what I’ve come to understand, once the bill breached it collapsed instantaneously (like milliseconds). They were essentially vaporized; no pain. Nothing. I’m a God fearing man. Before descending to those depths I’d pray for my loved ones to mourn well and continue on assuming something catastrophic happened. I’d also pray for a quick death, like what happened to these men, and not drown or suffocate. Drowning is a huge fear of mine and why I don’t like deep water.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Knowing and not being able to do anything at all would be the worst way to die.

annabananna · Answer

I would feel guilty for not being there for my son anymore.

TooHot2Care · Answer

"All of that struggle. All of that pain. All of the things I've overcome and the people I have overcome only to be a corpse under the sea." I'd probably cry a little bit and say "Mama" or something.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

Same as the first thought before getting on "get me out of here" I already am afraid of the open water, there's no way I'd want to go in that thing. So my thoughts wouldn't really change all that much

SolitarySolace · Answer

I honestly would have blamed my parents for wanting to go in the first place

Unknown29 · Answer

I’d think the Lord for saving me and with my last breaths id be reciting the Lord’s Prayer.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

I doubt they had time to think. They went from alive to a pancake in milliseconds.

Typhon_ · Answer

pretty sad but that was my fate and the part I took in this ever evolving world, pretty small but still an imprint.

purplepoppy · Answer

I hope no one checks my internet history

Cheerfull009 · Answer

No hope of survival, I am sorry for all, especially my two countrymen, Pakistani, son and father.

Dysney1023 · Answer

Post online to my family. And be like I love you all very much. Goodbye 🥺

LostandFound__x · Answer

It would be terrifying but I’d try and connect with God through prayer.
