I love how the MSM keeps harping on the number of hours of oxygen the passengers have left on the submersible. Trust me when I say the last thing the people in the sub have to worry about is breathing; they’re already dead, morons! But I suppose it’s human nature to deny obvious reality until the very last moment. Though they do not say so outright, the only people who are guarded against such optimism are the experts on deep-sea matters. The minute the sub lost contact with the support ship was the minute the passengers were doomed. I can already tell you what happened: A rapid, catastrophic implosion for whatever reason. According to the timeline, the sub was already at the bottom of the sea (2.5 miles deep or 12,500 feet), where the water exerts 5858 pounds of psi. (Consider that the Virginia class submarine can only dive to a depth of 1,600 feet.) That is roughly the weight of two cars pressing against one square inch (see the green box below) of the submersible’s hull. The failure probably happened at the viewport. One crack in that thing, and it’s over, people.
