Blimey.
that’s a lot to end up collapsing in to your own arsehole.
Which is what happened to me reading the article
Yeah that’s a terrifying way to go, hopefully everything ends ok and everyone is fine.
Random but that time a guy made his own sub popped into my head, and he took a reporter in it with him. And then killed her while deep in the ocean, and lied badly about what happened.

That story is a lot more terrifying than even what you just described.
HBO has a drama series about that... The Investigation.
That is absolutely terrifying
What a sad story. If it's of any comfort, they most likely died a quick death.
Is it too morbid of me to ask what the thinking is here? I was imagining a slowly running out of oxygen situation.
No confirmation that anyone was aboard?
To me, going into the deep in one of those things is just asking for it. You won't see me in a helicopter either.
If the sub's hull collapsed or a window failed, it would be instantaneous.
It says in the beeb article there that a crew was on board.
Yeah but is that more likely than engine failure or whatever else?
I don't know what happened to it, I'm just telling you what the quick options are that @adexkola was referring to.
Right, yeah, I was already aware that humans don't do too well at those pressures.
oh gutted, when I read it earlier it stated they weren't sure.
Spot on, you'd black out instantly at those pressures.
And if the hull didn't fail and they ran out of oxygen... That would be painless... Apart from the mental anguish
Yeah, we saw how this one pans out in the new Avatar movie. Best use of 3D in the whole film.
Tiny.
Another sea vessel went missing off the coast of Greece carrying 500ish refugees.
There is just no way anyone could ever get me into a submarine.
Do they take food/water with them if it’s eight hours? If they have enough oxygen to last four days hopefully they can be found? I know nothing about this sort of stuff though.
I got into one that is basically a museum piece in dry dock and I was in there for 30 seconds - cuoldnt get out quick enough
Saw film Das Boot ….terrifying
The first thing I thought of. The movie causes so much claustrophobia.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
It did! ….brilliant film thoughThe first thing I thought of. The movie causes so much claustrophobia.
Same! and more broadly not going under water more than a couple of meters deep. I love snorkeling but trying out scuba diving a couple of times were some of the most stressful moments!

It's amazing, there's a 209 min version for extra discomfort.
I wonder if the orcas were involved
Let alone work in a navy sub and get deployed for months.
I need to get around and watch Das Boot.
Sky saying a UK billionaire Hamish Harding is reportedly in the Sub.
