After 4 days of searching, the authorities confirmed that the Members of the Titan submersible died. The boat suffered an implosion which led to a horrible death, experts told international media how was the scenario experienced thousands of meters under the sea.
the captain of Frigate Francisco Lopez commented in the middle 20 minutes that the crew of the Titan experienced as a plate of several tons fell on them. For him, this was the “best” way to die since it would have taken less than a second.
For Francisco, the worst way could have been to run aground at the bottom of the ocean and have a slow death with cold and lack of oxygen. Likewise, he limited himself to indicating that a design security flaw caused this fatal outcome.
“It seems that some element of the hull could have opened causing a leak. When 400 atmospheres of pressure come into contact with an atmosphere inside, it has to equilibrate instantly and the implosion doesn’t last a second.” ratified the aforementioned digital medium.
Besides, PhD in Physics, Mar Gómezpointed out that the first hypothesis is that the submersible had a crack in the hull which triggered the implosion. “Implosion is a process in which an object is destroyed when it collapses in on itself, and it’s basically the opposite of an explosion, which is expanding a volume.”
Doubts
For Bobby Chacon, a retired FBI agent, what happened was an implosion accompanied by a simultaneous explosion by the elements inside the submersible. For him, it will not be possible to know what happened to the submarine. “Unless they get most of the ship back.”
“The good thing is that it seems that there are no other wrecks of the Titanic in that section. Everything they find there must be collected, put in baskets and brought to the surface for analysis.” said.
