It’s legitimately shocking that the incident was even possible. I first learned about it when I was 16, and my first thought was, “Wait, there wasn’t even a light or anything on the outside to tell workers if the door was closed?”

It’s like the bare minimum in terms of safety and it would have prevented the whole thing.

[LonkinPork]

explosive decompression is one of the wildest phenomena in physics. just getting torn to bits because there's suddenly Less Air around you than there was

[joeyblaze]

"You dont even have to be in it for it to kill you." damn ocean is sending sharknados now?

my aunt works in a hospital on a small island. it’s a diving hotspot. the entire hospital is basically one gigantic decompression sickness ward. it’s so easy to fuck up your surface, no matter how experienced you are. my mum was on a night dive once and got a mild case after a jellyfish swam over her face. obviously it stung her and she started to panic, sucked all her air dry, and had to surface too quickly or she’d drown. according to her if felt awful

Stories like this always remind me of one of my favorite Futurama jokes.

"At this depth, the ship is under 150 atmospheres of pressure!"

"How many atmospheres can it handle?"

"Well, it's a spaceship, so anywhere between zero and one."

The most uncomfortable fact I learned during my own research of this is that their bodies (the ones that were still intact) were noted in autopsy to decompose more quickly than would be expected. They died so violently that almost every cell in their body died instantly, and bacteria were able to get yo work immediately.

[almondjoy]

Hearing about this accident is so sad. Those poor guys. It was probably so fast that it was painless and instant for them, which is the ONLY consolation.

[moxie]

29:43 Fun fact! Liquids boil due to a difference in pressure, not due to heat. Heat can cause something to boil, but it is not necessary. This is the issue with coming up too fast from the ocean depths, the "bends", it's your blood boiling. The nitrogen didn't generate any heat, it just boiled due to a pressure difference and did that.

[tsunderemerc]

Instantaneous death is terrifying in its own way. Their bodies couldn't even react before they were dead already. Imagine you just blink and you're suddenly standing at the pearly gates with no idea what happened.

“Maybe we should stop talking to the ocean” 😂 bro she’s been trying to get us to delete her number for years.

05.11.1983: 5 people died bcs they were depressurized to fast, 18.06.2023: 5 ppl died bcs they were pressurized too fast
Same deaths and almost exactly 40 years apart

[hugecranium]

My drunk ass can’t stop staring at Wendigoon’s reflection from one of his posters

[JerkyMurky]

The fact they all died in less time then it takes for a human to process pain is the only relief this story gives. Its so brutal. I knew about what happened well before you posted this so clicking on this video i new what i was in for.

Delta p is terrifying.

There's a fictional book that was released in August called THE CHAMBER (Will Dean). It's a locked room murder mystery that's set in a chamber that's about saturation divers going through decompression (4 days). Someone is killed during the decompression and the remaining divers are locked in with a killer during decompression. Currently reading and it's really good.

[crimsonhoudini]

Its really infuriating to me that this could have been avoided if this oil company just paid for the safety lock A YEAR AFTER IT CAME OUT. Company's cutting corners yet again.

[rfjfjjrndyajjrntjfjf]

Ah yes my favorite, commercial diving horror stories while at my job as a commercial diver

[PyrrhoX]

Wendigoon: "People don't as commonly die in spontaneous explosions in the modern day"
OceanGate standing behind him: "Nothin personal, Kid.."

[glubtier]

As soon as you started explaining decompression, I knew exactly where this was going, but that coroner's description was next level...

[Towelgravy]

I saw "Most gruesome ocean death" and "dolphin" in the thumbnail and I was thinking "Pff... exactly how much damage could an angry dolphin really do?" Oh boy. I was in for a rude awakening.
