About this video
During a voyage down to the Titanic shipwreck, Titan submersible could not withstand the enormous pressures of the deep ocean and imploded, resulting in instant death for anyone aboard the vessel.
The wreckage of the Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet.
The water pressure is nearly 380 times more than at the ocean’s surface at this depth.
Some 6,000 pounds would have been pressing down on every square inch.
The adult human body contains an average of about 3000 square Inches, which means the body will experience 18 million pounds of pressure at titanic depth.
when a submarine's hull collapses, it inwardly moves at an astonishing speed of approximately
670 meters per second. Thus, the complete collapse occurs in just one millisecond or one-thousandth of a second.
A human brain instinctively responds to inputs in roughly 25 milliseconds.
While a rational response from sensing to acting typically takes around 150 milliseconds.
That is 25 to 150 times slower than the speed of the implosion.
Therefore, the unfortunate individuals aboard the Titan could never have understood the unfolding events.
