James Cameron said in an interview like yesterday or something, that they probably heard the hull groaning or whatever word he used. Er er er er er eerererrrerr that kind of shit.
And then it took literally 1 millisecond to incinerate everyone inside the cabin and pack them into a dense wad of ash that then exploded less than a millisecond later
Yes apparently they were all incinerated in a flash hotter than the surface of the sun, because they were riding essentially an enormous cavitation bubble
Oxygen is flammable, compression can ignite it due to the heat generated sort of like how a diesel engine combusts by super high compression rather than a spark plug. Air molecules got super-compressed and flash ignited.
Yeah this video shows near-vacuum bubbles collapsing and striking a beer bottle. Note that the glass doesn't break because of a shockwave traveling through the the glass - it breaks because of the tiny bubble collapsing and causing a little bit of water to slam into the glass.
The bubbles are just above 0 atmospheres, while the surrounding liquid is basically just at standard earth air pressure at sea level, around 1 atmosphere. So the difference in pressure here is 1 atmosphere.
The titanic wreck is sitting under 375 atmospheres of pressure and the cabin was at 1.

wait what, how does that work? like theyre underwater but its hotter than the sun?? Username relevant to my inability to understand this btw

oh jesus, so theres nothing left of them is there?
Just molecules I imagine

holy shit lmao
Know how in a diesel cylinder, the fuel ignites just because of pressure, with no spark plug needed?
and now realize that those billionaires were not different enough from diesel for the difference to really matter
Unlikely they heard any noises from the hull, as it was carbon fiber and not steel or something else that would bend.
