An article I read said it can only be opened from the outside so they're trapped in there and can't contact anyone unless the ship is directly above them. I wonder how their bodies will decompose.
minimally because it's in a closed environment with minimal oxidation, you dumb ass bitch from a first world country who doesn't understand basic chemistry.

You're generally too weak to do this at the time you need recognize the need to do this.
Wonder if this is true about it being made from titanium and carbon fibre.
Quite a weird construction if so. Is it to save weight? , The Soviets made titanium submarines, but they kept cracking cos titanium is like that.
my (not great) understanding of the composition is they can interlace carbon fibers into most metals and most plastics. THe durability is so great that you wouldn't think at 2 miles underwater, bumping into a chain/post/coral/piece of bullshit will cause instant death, unfortunately, the pressure makes any graze a major collision and when u do pop the invariable hole in the hull, immediately the rapid cmopression will cause convulsions and then obviously there's the water coming in, RIP.

typically when you talk about carbon fibre as a material it's the carbon fibre mesh soaked in an epoxy resin; you can use steel or titanium like rebar in concrete to reinforce it but the carbon fibre material itself is really brittle
there's a theory that when they sealed the can (the entrance is through the designated shitting bay, the nose gets bolted on once everyone's in and unbolted for them to get out) they dialed in the torque required to seal, then realised they needed to use an extension which lowers the amount of torque to the bolt, so it went into the water with the nose only bolted halfway shut
