[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if these people had 96 hours of oxygen I don’t think they had any water.  And I believe you can only live three days without water.[/quote]

Drinking your own urine would give you another day or two.

But it’s moot point, [b]as all signs point to a sudden hull collapse[/b]. [/quote]

If this happened, would there even be remains of the submersible craft or people? Or would the pressure essentially eviscerate everything?[/quote]

Mythbusters did this with a de-pressurized diving suit and a fake human skeleton covered in pig skin at a depth of only 300 feet:

[quote][i]
Tory built a fake diver using a plastic skeleton and pieces of pig flesh sewn around it together. Organs and fake blood were also inserted into the chest cavity. The team went to open waters and lowered the fake diver to a depth of 300 ft (91.4 m). At that depth, 135 psi (9.2 atm) of pressure was needed to equalize the suit pressure. To simulate the air line being cut, grant used a quick-release valve. To the team’s surprise, the pressure differential did indeed force organs, blood, and flesh, into the helmet, and thus, the myth was confirmed.[/i][/quote]

These folks in the submersible were over 2 miles (10500+ feet) below the surface. 300 feet is already catastrophic to a human body. [/quote]
