[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An implosion would be the most merciful outcome for those unfortunate souls.[/quote]

I am pretty sure they knew they were likely going to die soon because the French explorer on board was very knowledgeable and once they started descending too fast, they must have been aware they had a problem. I watched a video of him discussing getting stuck so deep in the ocean and how death from hypothermia is sort of gentle because you slowly fall asleep and don’t suffer. So he knew the possibilities and the risk.

The death itself was instant, but the minutes or hour leading to it must have been agony. Though I hope he/they did not share the knowledge out loud out of respect for the teenager. I know I wouldn’t have said anything, and anyway hope always dies last and I bet at least some of them were hoping for a miracle.

I am shocked the French expert even boarded that shoddy thing given his experience in much more state-of-the-art prior missions. I guess he was just a Titanic junkie  and couldn’t resist one more dive especially given his advanced age. I feel mostly sorry for the loss of his life and that of the teenager. [/quote]
