Also little cleaner than what I was expecting granted it's probably been cleaned up from wild life and the recovery crew but still I was expecting a little bit of blood like I'm not even trying to be a gore loving weirdo I just know that humans are basically balloons full of blood and implosions are really violent especially at that depth this sub went to

Keep in mind that the balloon of blood in this case is being crushed by water. Any blood wouldn't have hit the walls as much as diluted in many gallons of water. Without a chance to deposit and dry, blood doesn't really "paint" things.

Well, they moved it through 3500 meters of water in the process of retrieving it. That’s gonna be the equivalent of a full wash cycle, albeit in seawater.

[-] athos77@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ocean currents literally washing the blood away.

Now I’m generally curious now that can see the it. That thing is pretty much like a crushed soda can. What really happens to the bodies tho? At depth, The tube goes poof and implodes in milliseconds but do the bodies implode too or they just crushed in the pop can.

They would’ve been instantaneously turned to ash. The vessel temperature at the time of breach would be about 5000 celsius. About the temperature of the sun. Whatever was left would be oozed out the cracks like play-doh

[-] Photon@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

The bodies can't implode; the lungs can/will collapse but that is pretty much the least of the issues. Even if the bodies aren't pulverized by the collapsing sub, the water will hit like a hammer traveling at supersonic speeds. So probably a combination of rendering into mincemeat, dismemberment, and scattering of the human remains would result from such an implosion. A destruction on par with being hit by a bomb at ground zero.

It wouldn't really crush like a soda can. That's what a steel submarine would do, but this was made of carbon fibre which would shatter into many pieces while the titanium ends just fell off.

[-] auv_guy@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

That depends on what happened. If the whole structure collapsed instantly, they are probably crushed by debris and a shockwave. But if there was a “leak” and the pressure equalized without complete destruction maybe the lungs are compressed, ribs broken and eardrums torn. All depending on the speed of equalization. Maybe also bones break (because water is compressible) but the bag of meat and blood should remain intact. So finding a body would help to reconstruct what happened. But I doubt they will find one before hungry animals do.

Not possible for anything but immediate implosion at those depths. Even a microscopic leak would instantly turn into a beach.

Even a microscopic leak would instantly turn into a beach.

I love the beach!

[-] auv_guy@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Why? What should lead to that?

[-] ChanchoManco@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

I read that from the compression the air ignites so they probably burnt to ashes in milliseconds.
But I might got it wrong.

[-] meldroc@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I don't know if that kind of temperature lasts more than microseconds, so that might not be enough time for much combustion to happen.

In any case, the forces from a 300 atm pressure differential would mash the people to goo in the blink of an eye. Like being inside an exploding bomb. Except exploding in. They're fish food.

EDIT: There are reports that the Coast Guard recovered "presumed human remains".

What could possibly be left of them after that implosion?

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ever see sharks or any sea life really, go at chum, or a whale carcass? Whatever may or may not have been left of them got eaten up by whatever sea creatures happened to be passing by (even ash would probably go through whatever filter feeders).
And the circle of life continues.

I mean it was in the water for several days......
