What can we learn from this? Don't go in pressure vessels; don't go in confined spaces.
Do airplanes count?
This submersible needed to survive a differential of ~350 atmospheres. With the positive pressure being outside the craft.
No idea why every single journalist kept forcing the "air remaining" theme. It was far more likely that the sub suffered a catastrophic implosion at the time contact was lost. Glad to see it confirmed, and finally people stop posting the nonsense about air. Shame about the passengers though.
The outcome everyone knew would happen. I don't understand the desire to go to that depth to see a sunken ship when I presume there is camera footage of it available. You can't get out and do anything, your view is probably pretty crappy given the thickness of any see through material. I see the allure with Everest and the view for your 60 seconds at the top must be impressive and it is a physical feat. But a sunken…

Recently they published a full 3d scan of the Titanic wreck constructed from 700,000 images taken.

How long can you survive in a 4000 psi water pressure, going suddenly from atmospheric pressure?
In a weird way, this is almost relieving. The speculation that they were suffocated and entombed in their own filth somewhere on the ocean as they died slowly seemed so, so much worse.
