    I still cringe every time a news story is posted about this. It always says the occupants are presumed dead, but no bodies have been recovered. Sometimes it even says no bodies have been recovered yet.

    To quote xkcd “You would just stop being biology and start being physics.”. There are no bodies, these people simply ceased existing. An implosion at that depth means everything inside gets pulverized.

      Yeah, I did see one video about this that mentioned they recovered a “paste” of which DNA testing confirmed to be human.

      Yep, at least there’s the solace of knowing that the moment from “something’s wrong” to crunch went by so fast that the passengers probably didn’t even hear so much as a strained groan from the frame before they were all canned person paste.

      Just imagine being that kid, one minute you’re sitting nervous on a sub because your dad begged you into coming, and the next you blink twice and are suddenly yelling at him for being a moron in the afterlife with little more than a sudden change in scenery to clue you in to what just happened.

        I have some bad news about the status of the afterlife.

          Do you make a habit of reminding kids about air friction coefficients on flying sleds circling the planet in a single night when they muse about what Santa’s getting them this year?

            Every year dozens of homes collapse due to Santa’s sonic booms, he is a menace and needs to be stopped!

              A friend of mine’s parents took that approach and they never got the ‘santa’ deal. Presents just came from their parents. Theyre turned out a communist, im not sure its related
