NEWS IN A MINUTE: Listen or watch the full versions of the ”Titanic sub tragedy: Death would’ve been ‘virtually instantaneous’‘‘ article in a minute.
A “catastrophic implosion,” such as that believed to have destroyed the Titan submersible, would have happened with incredible force and speed given the crushing water pressure on the floor of the ocean. The remains of the Titanic rest on the seabed in the North Atlantic at a depth of some 3, 800 metres (12,400 feet). At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). Water pressure at the depth where the ocean liner lies is equivalent to around 400 atmospheres, nearly 6,000 psi. As a comparison, the bite of a large great white shark exerts a force of nearly 4,000 psi, according to Scientific American.
