Somewhere a redditor did the math and I believe it would have taken 24ms for the glass to break and the water to rush in. Instant death if it was indeed the glass.

Just how instant is that death? Do you die from quickly drowning in the water or is the water pressure enough to also crush your skull quick enough to make sure you die without having the chance to feel anything? Guillotined people can still be alive and feel about 30 second safter their head has been removed from their body.

Instant.

Imagine a Ford F150 sitting on every square inch of your body.

this "scoffing at safety and regulation" shit being seen as "hip, cool and rebellious" and somehow a desirable trait is actually completely fucking bonkers to me. Careful analysis and engineering to make things as safe as possible and well characterized is incredibly rewarding and satisfying.

The EU economy appears perfectly functional to me.

Now let's see the youth unemployment rate.

Water pressure crushes you faster than signals can run from your nerves to your brain.

What can we learn from this? Don't go in pressure vessels; don't go in confined spaces.

Probably the same lesson we learned last time an ocean vessel named after a Titan went missing in that vicinity

Both the water pressure, and the submarine material around you. It'd be more akin to your entire body would nearly instantly be squished in all 3 dimensions, with non-compressible items (bulk-head/steel) also inhabiting the same space.

Was the company insured for the massive cost of the rescue attempt? Do they have enough assets to pay for it?

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…

This could be a killer Vision Pro commercial, like the “Apple Watch saved my life” ads.

If you compare to the submersible trip, Vision Pro is quite the bargain.

I agree with you, but I'll admit that I still think bike helmets and safety goggles look stupid. It's much cooler to be safe, but too often it's impossible to look cool while doing it.

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.

What would be worse a catastrophic collapse deep down in the sea or a sudden depressurization high above in the sky around the Armstrong limit?

The pressure difference between complete vacuum and sea level is one atm. At the depth of the titanic, the difference is about 375 times that.
