I suppose one comfort is if the hull breached at depth then death would have been instant and they wouldn’t have known a thing about it. |  |

Some people live their lives differently and see risks as a necessary evil in getting the most out of it.
I don’t have a problem with it but obviously in hindsight it was the wrong thing to do. No one vacancy see their lives in hindsight though so I hope his short life was lived to the full. |  |

I've taken quitea few risks in my life, several times I was very lucky. Now its measured risk.
Learning to SCUBA was one of the best things I ever did and it is a risky pastime. | | | |

I seriously believe that the poor unfortunate victims of this would ever in a million years have set a single foot on board that vessel if they knew about the safety issues reported over the last day or two.
One oceanic expert felt that they had been subject to 'sales pitch' that was also not forthcoming with information that would have caused serious concern and likely cancellation. |  |

Tragic news

Some would still do it, knowing the risks.
They will have died quickly, those suffering the most are ledt behind. | | | |

True, I was thinking more the hours leading up to it ,knowing the amount of oxygen and the depths they were at . I recently watched a film clip about the Titan and the be honest I wouldn't have felt safe in it in Swansea Bay , talk about being cobbled together | |

Part of your scuba training, they tell you when you go down 10m, its an extra G of Gravity on your body and so on every 10m you dive down, the titanic is 2 miles down, which is an extra 322 Gs of pressure... the mind boggles.
not for me thank you very much | |

It’s not gravity it’s atmospheres. A completely different force. I atmosphere = 14.7 lbs or 1 bar every 10 meters. All that water pressing down on anything at that depth would be a massive force | | | |

Pressure at sea level is around 14.7 PSI.
Pressure at the Titanic is around 6,000 PSI. |  |

I am claustrophobic so the thought of diving , caving ,mining etc would fill me with dread so no there's no way i"d be tempted to visit wrecks on the bottom of the sea .
I've been fortunate to have been in a position to do a few static line parachute jumps , abseiling, rock climbing, even being suspended under a helicopter whilst in a basket (for work purposes ) etc, all including parachuting come with risks attached but their managed risks , not sure how a cobbled together underwater craft would be allowed a licence to carry passengers and the risk associated managed | |

I'm a bit of an adrenlin junkie but I would have gotten in that sub. There is (as we can clearly see) no way to manage the risks at that depth, there is no back up. If there's a faiure you are screwed and need rescuing.
At least with parachuting you have a reserve chute. With SCUBA you should have a buddy. | | | |

Apparently they imploded, vaporised and died immediately. |  |

Yes, which is obviousy better than slowly suffocating in that small space.
Like I said, you cannot mitigate risks at that depth. | | | |

It’s remarkable really they’ve found intact wine and champagne bottles, mirrors and tea cups around the titanic wreck. You’d think such relatively fragile objects would be destroyed by that pressure.
That sort of depth is also absolutely teeming with life. It’s crazy to think things can not just survive but thrive that deep and with no sunlight. | |

I don’t know what effect that pressure would have on the human body. I would think crushed beyond recognition | | | |

Wine bottles for example would be either full of wine or sea water if they were empty on sinking. Therefore the pressure on the inside of the bottle equals the outside so they don’t crush. | |

Jeez.
If you are going to be a pedant well you had best get your facts right first.
Pressure is different in sea water compared to fresh water.
One bar: 28 feet for sea water, 32 feet for fresh water.
One bar =0.98692atm
Pressure = hÏg (Pressure = Height or Depth of the liquid × Density of the liquid × Gravitational pull (9.81m/s)). |  |

It’s hydrostatic pressure that would subject the sub to the huge pressures | | | |
