[00:00:00]June 18, 2023, Titan submarine imploded crushing one crew and four passengers in instant of 1,000 of a second.

[00:00:08]Due to massive pressure of 5,000 PSI on submarine at 4 km down the sea compared to internal pressure of just 15 PSI.

[00:00:16]Crushed this chain 10,000 kg machine even before the pain was processed by the victims. Exactly the opposite phenomena was observed in Aloha Airlines flight 243 accident on April 28, 1988. A lower air pressure at higher levels forced the internal high pressure air to explode the fuselage and escape into the atmosphere.

[00:00:37]This phenomena is explosive decompression.

[00:00:40]After emergency landing, luckily only one casualty was noticed out of 95 people on board.
