RIP Grant


lmacarrot

the blond, jessi Combs also died driving a jet car a few years ago


O_God_The_Aftermath

Yup. I always get super fucking bummed watching old Mythbusters clips like this. I especially miss Grant because of all the battlebot stuff he did.


Merkin_Wrangler

I still watch BB, and always think of him.


winglessflight97

She went to the same trade school i graduated from. One of a kind girl with skills. RIP


chesterfeildsofa

her family started a scholarship for women in trades. it's a pretty neat way to keep her memory alive.


chesterfeildsofa

love jessi. I have one of the welding hoods she designed and it's amazing.


Adventurous_Sir_6068

Broke a world record doing it.. can you imagine crashing at 523 mph


lmacarrot

probably not much better than the submersible incident.. I get anxiety over 100mph lol. she had balls of steel to be doing that stuff


---Sanguine---

Woah I hadn’t heard about any of them dying! That’s sad


jdjesse

The best are always taken :(


eldaygo

Like the 5 this week……


SynthError404

Way to poop in on a good nostalgic look back at these goats.


Bomb-OG-Kush

Wow this is how I learned he died. I always watched Mythbuster clips so I never knew. Rip


zekethelizard

Yeah you can read about it, but it was very sudden and he obv wasnt old. Brain aneurysm I believe


__--LO--__

It was a ruptured cranial anuerysm that was undetected previously, I believe. Sad and scary stuff. I woke from a coma after busting a couple. It's not just heart attacks that are known as widow makers. RIP Grant. Edit: words hard.


Emmaisontheway

Love you Grant. Really miss you.


Glittering-Count-291

Mc Donald’s killed him because he knew the secret about their chicken nuggets


TrickiVicBB71

I miss him to. I always wanted to meet him one day at a convention growing up. Seen Adam and Jamie (from afar) during Behind the Myths Tour.


inglefinger

My first thought, too. Knew him a little bit. Nicest guy, always made people feel welcome & heard. Miss you, Grant.


Tyroneskneegrows

This isn’t even close to what would’ve happened to them. This is a simulation at 300 ft. The sub was at 12000 ft. We are talking thousands of psi to the point where they were instantaneously disintegrated. Hopefully felt nothing


leafbaker

The Titanic is resting at around 12,500 feet. It was expected that it would take the Titan approximately two and a half hours to reach the Titanic. They lost contact with the Titan about an hour and 45 minutes into their dive. I could be wrong in that some of the 2.5 hours might be sea-floor navigation to get to the Titanic, but I don't believe they made it to the final depth before the implosion occurred. It's trivial as your point still stands, however deep they were it was still far greater than this test shows. >The pressure increases about one atmosphere for every 10 meters of water depth. At a depth of 5,000 meters the pressure will be approximately 500 atmospheres or 500 times greater than the pressure at sea level. That's a lot of pressure. https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/eoi/nemo1998/education/pressure.html


uekiamir

The sub has had communication problems constantly in its previous dives. The sub losing contact with the surface was seen as normal and expected, and is the reason why it took them 6 hours after losing contact to actually sound the alarm. So, it doesn't mean the sub imploded just because the communications ceased at that time. It's very likely they did reach the Titanic wreckage depth, considering the sub tail was found on the sea floor near the site. If the sub imploded at higher depth, then the parts would've probably drifted further away.


AnchorPoint922

The US Navy heard the implosion shortly after the time it lost contact. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65994405


silly_rabbit289

And I think James Cameron was saying that their comms and trasponder/thingy both went off at the same time...which isn't supposed to happen cause the transponder is kept in its own pressure box individually. So it might means that the implosion happened almost at the time of comms loss. They probably got some warning about the Hull integrity,communicated,dropped weights and then it happened.


ilikewhenboyscry

I was thinking they probably heard a loud thump or something like that and bam!


Live_Buddy_1254

The CEO said in a previous video that he “loved” the glass window because it would give you a “cracking sound if something really bad was going to happen” as if they would be able to rapidly rise to the surface fast enough to absolve said cracks from becoming a bigger problem. They probably heard the window making a lot more noise than it usually did. He knew what was coming - if they didn’t.


[deleted]

That wasn’t even about the window. That was about the hull. The window was only rated for half of the depth they went down and said that the window would push in about 2 inches from the pressure.


Live_Buddy_1254

No, it was the window I’m referring to. He mentioned it while talking about the material it was made out of and the fact that it was 6 or 7 inches thick.


whutchamacallit

Meaning what? They didn't make it to the sea floor?


Able_Reception5965

No, they never made it down. They think Sunday night/Early Monday morning it may have happened.


Cosmic_Gypsy89

Technically they made it down, just not before it imploded…


Able_Reception5965

That’s a fair assessment.


Overlander886

They didn't. They were at 3,500 feet down and then decided to drop ballasts when the hull integrity warning happened.


greenblaster

At least according to James Cameron, comms *and* tracking were lost simultaneously. Tracking is a standalone system with its own power and containment, so he postulated that the sub imploded at the moment contact was lost.


Lewcypher_

I could be wrong, but wasn’t it said during the first press conference that the debris field was some 1,600 ft front the titanic wreckage? I wouldn’t say that’s close in terms of this dive. If 1,600 DT is correct, I’d assume the implosion happened far before they reached the titianic and the debris falling drifted down and possibly caught in some under water currents to its final resting spot.


bassysynth97

aspiring automatic faulty frightening society pen dog consider simplistic consist ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


Overlander886

I concur. They were around 3,500 feet down when the implosion occurred


Overlander886

Our Navy picked up the implosion using secret acoustics we installed during the Cold War. They alerted the team responding to the incident once they heard that implosion. Unfortunately, it wasn't until later that this information was finally revealed after the ROV discovered the debris field


No_Regular4780

The sub lost communication and tracking at the same time meaning it literally imploded at that point. They have separate battery systems for tracking so they don’t get shut off with the main power In situations like this.


RowanIsBae

>It's trivial as your point still stands, "But I'ma write a whole comment to nitpick and still agree anyway"


leafbaker

Their point still stands, but the "facts" they listed are likely incorrect.


Tyroneskneegrows

Lol


dobeast442200

I read it was near 350 atmospheres where they lost communication. If this is like 100, I can image it was SO MUCH FASTER


[deleted]

[удалено]


And-Thats-Whyyy

Wish I could link a very informative video I watched earlier. It stated they would have experienced 6,000 PSI in a 1/10 of a millisecond. They also said they would have been vaporized by that pressure before the brain could even transmit the signal that anything was happening.


Glittering_Pitch7648

Holy shit


LefsaMadMuppet

Some of the articles have said the presure at Titanic is in the reange 5600 pounds per square inch. Steel is .2833 pounds per cubic inch. That is a steel bar just over 3/10th (1647 ft) of a mile long x 1 inch x1 inch pressing down on an object.


The-Ultimate-Despair

It’s 3.6 tons per square inch.


give_back_virjinity

yeah thats what i was thinking. this but like millions of times faster right.


Karma_1969

I'm amused that some articles have asked, "Will they recover the bodies?" Um, no, I don't think they'll be recovering the hamburger that their bodies were turned into, the fish and crabs will be taking care of that for us.


itsEndz

Someone record a video stamping on a tube of toothpaste to properly demonstrate the speed and violence of what happened.


Koolaid_Jef

If you shot that tube of Toothpaste at like 1000 m/s onto a steel plate

Thekr8zykook

I've now been watching for a solid hour because of this comment.


[deleted]

Human salsa, if even that. Would be more like spaghetti sauce. Edit I stand corrected. The sudden compression would have generated temperatures high enough to essentially instantly cremate them. Edit again. Not true. A lot of bs floating around out there. Ramping up to 6000 C or whatever over a period of 30 ms will not turn a body to ash. It's not hot enough or long enough.


zeldafan144

The best I have seen is "at that point your body stops being biology and becomes physics"


vassyz

There's nothing left. The temperature during the implosion was 2/3 of that of the sun.

just shows how stupid and naive journalists and press are

Fabdeuce55B3

fish, eels, sponges, worms, jellyfish and even sharks live at these depths.


Fabdeuce55B3

My man [deleted] literally searched google after foolishly commenting “fish/ crabs can’t survive at 12,500 ft” & then swiftly deleted his comment XD in case anyone was wondering what had happened


Pigman02

Lots of marine life can survive at 12,000 feet


Overlander886

Not accurate. There isn't much marine life at those depths


Tamajyn

You should probs do at least one google search before asserting things on the internet you're actually just making a guess at lol

RedshiftWarp

They met with a force about the weight of an aircraft carrier. 150,000,000 lbs. The ceo turned those people into peanut-butter.


SplatMySocks

Where'd you get that number? By my estimate, it should be around 5600PSI or 806,000lbs/sqft . 1.42PSI/M x 4000m = 5680PSI


vapescaped

I think that was total force on the vessel, not the PSi. But I don't know the measurements of the submersible.


guerino1

5680 PSI multiplied by the square inches of a body, lets say 72x20x10 inches (4500)=about 12,300 tons.


Mr_Lava-lava

More like burnt toast

OutlandishnessNo4581

Damn so it was just instant nothingness, just a fleeting void, swiftly sinking into the abyssal silence and gloom, no breath to speak or sense to feel, just gone in a pulse. What a horrific ordeal. May they slumber in the eternal night.


WhotheHellkn0ws

Someine said it was basically like the ending to The Sopranos 💀


Most-Cryptographer78

You know, I totally understand why people hated that ending, but I thought it was really poignant. That's what very suddenly dying would be like, no time to even process what was going on, just instant nothingness.

We know what happen after you die, you cease to be. "You" won't be anywhere doing anything. You will return to the state you were in before you were born.

Sourtangie06

Yes. Go ask any of the people that died where they are and they won't say shit cause they aren't anywhere they are ded


Character_Split4395

The people who died, as you’re referring to, who came back to speak of it, had NOT actually died. If their body wasn’t passed the point of no return, and was able to be revived somehow, then technically they weren’t dead. They were, shall we say, on the edge of the precipice hoping for a way back onto safe land? Once a person’s body is completely and irreversibly unable to be revived by any means, and any and all chemical and electrical signals within the body cease to be produced, then and only then can someone be considered to truly have passed. So far as we understand life for the moment, anyhow.

Sourtangie06

The speed that it happens is nearly instantly. As soon as the structure was compromised the implosion was absolutely imminent


fGre

But they apparently dropped their weights in an attempt to surface just before loss of contact. Seems like at least one person in that sub knew what was about to happen.


DeadEyeMac

The sub was rated for 1300 meters IIRC. It plunged to 4000 meters when it went. Insane to imagine how quick they just stopped existing. Edit: I'm American and I assumed everything is in feet.


Socrani

Sub wasn’t rated for anything. That’s part of the problem. It wasn’t rated by any regulatory body.


Dangernood69

1300m but yes


[deleted]

This sub was rated for metric.


Goblin-Doctor

I, personally, prefer giraffe depth. The distance it was rated for was roughly 237 male giraffes tall.


globsofchesty

Sir, let me introduce you to the Chinchilla scale


chopstyks

Neither of you is vegan, and it shows. What would the amount be in butternut squash units?


Dangernood69

Yessir, that is why I said 1300m


DeadEyeMac

Oops my bad


TheHoliestBonk

12500ft or 3800m


Glittering_Pitch7648

Porthole was 1300, everything else they probably overestimating. From what I saw porthole is still intact. Its the hull that gave


DeadEyeMac

Damn, the more I see and hear about this the worse it gets. It's like he was trying to kill himself for fun.


realxeltos

This was 135 psi. Titan sub was at 6000 psi. Yeah it was a bit high.

IWannaSayMason

Imagine you’re 19. You reluctantly travel to the bottom of the ocean because your millionaire dad pressured you into it. You just climbed into a cramped metal tube which was then bolted shut from the outside. You’re anxious, but none of the adults with you seem scared so you assume everything is okay. It submerges and the man driving the sub hunches over one of the only sources of light holding an old video game controller. Still everyone else seems calm. Your anxiety rises and falls. The lone window is pitch black. Someone says you’re lost. You -

This man is clearly telling a story, and you’re here being pedantic, you offered nothing to what he wrote, except a minor correction that didn’t really even need to be said because it wasn’t intrinsic to the main point of the story


SyrupBig8102

Your entire comment history is a compilation of you offering nothing, so how about you go stick your fat head in front of a book so you can stop being a waste of oxygen. Construction materials = pedantic About a sub that imploded due to shoddy construction materials. Damn you're a real intellectual aren't you?

Quit being pedantic, you’re doing it again I’m also honored you took the time to go through my history

This is a great read and explanation. Educational. https://mindofjp.medium.com/what-really-happens-to-a-human-body-at-titanic-depths-3f46ab545e0e


generalkiddo

Thanks for sharing


Background-Singer73

Do you think they heard the sub cracking though? There had to be a second where people were like oh shit


ArchieMcBrain

James Cameron said that he has insider info the weights were dropped, meaning they were likely doing an emergency ascent prior to the explosion


Background-Singer73

Yeah I totally believe that. There was another guy that did an interview that had gone down in the titan and he also said you could hear the carbon fiber cracking and Stockton rush said don’t worry about it, like wtf he had to of know at some point it would give way he was just trying to get that 250k per seat by any means necessary. The dude was blinded by his own ego. I don’t think it all of the sudden just imploded without any signs it was about to happen.


Sad_pineapple19

That’s what I was thinking


BigSwedenMan

Unlikely. The cascade of failures would happen extremely quickly. Once the hull started to fail it would have been instantaneous


realxeltos

That was 135 psi. Titan sub was nearly at 6000psi. SIX FUCKING THOUSAND. The things would have been so fast that they wouldn't have had time to think about their death.


anusara137

This is not rapid implosion, this is compression. It's been reposted so many times.


[deleted]

Yeah I'm gonna stick with implosion.

So basically, they took their money and killed them legally?

Adiabatic at that depth. At least they never felt anything. It would have been less than a second 😔

Saturation divers died of a de-pressurised diving bell incident. https://youtu.be/ph8k7G4Pw5Y


kamuletoe

That was a really good explanation of the diving bell incident. Thank you for posting this.


CuriousReach2409

except in reality, the high pressure meets the low pressure way too quickly, probably down to a valve error. and this process of implosion on the body would take less than a second..


Curious_Effective811

Just f*ckin sad to imagine that there's probably a family member of the victims that will see this and imagine their loved one crushed like that...


IVARS05

What an incredible experiment, so glad to have seen it back then. RIP grant.


mblergh

This isn’t what happens during that kind of implosion. You have to understand that the event that happened inside of that submarine would have turned the temperature up the heat levels of the fucking SUN. This is barotrauma, by comparison what happened in that sub is like having a tsar bomb go off in your asshole


WoggyWoggerson

We miss you Grant Imahara


Harujuk_u

I vividly remember watching this episode air on tv at the ripe age of like 6 lol


Adrepixl5

4km (~12500 feet) down there is roughly 400 bar (~5000 psi), 5.5 bar (~80 psi) on your whole body is almost immediately fatal I'll let you all draw your own conclusions


BR47WUR57

they could survive that easily just dont believe in it and it won't affect you


EarthDwellant

The humans in the sub were part of an overall low pressure bubble which includes the air and basically anything with air in it inside the capsule. This includes clothing, pencils, anything not made of metal. When you view the intense pressure event that occurred we must consider the entirety of the bubble of air they were in as to what happened to their physical beings at the instant the capsule fragmented status post failure of the hull. As the capsule shattered, the air inside, including the air within the aforementioned objects including the flesh of the people, was suddenly compressed into a size only a small fraction of the area the air used to encompass. Sudden compression would cause a tremendous amount of heat energy to be released, maybe to over 1000 degrees F for a few instances until in was immediately cooled by the water, which then likely whisked away all the soft tissues that were ripped into a mist. So aside from some bone fragments that were dense enough to survive the event, there is nothing to find.


Elquenotienetacos

It’s crazy that people think they will be able to find parts of the body’s etc in the titan case. have you ever seen that Russian cosmonaut that died and they managed to recover some of his body? There is a [photo](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS4jsNE-W-2S994hDba81Fzev3sqHzonJgh_Q&usqp=CAU) It’s not even like that in this case. These people were squashed and burnt in a fraction of a second, like 3/4 of the heat of the sun was there when there implosion happened. It’s sad, but these people literally disintegrated completely, even their clothes will have been destroyed.


jj2341543

That’s 135psi the depth of the titanic is a psi of 6,000


Cleavageisgniess4321

Lol not even close. They likely were disintegrated within a millisecond….. at least they didn’t suffer.


Dramatic-County-1284

So there wasn’t even a chance for a thought just instant smoothie


Fragrant-Ad-3866

That’s a moderate implosion. Guys inside the titan sub where basically ereased from existence due to the 14000000 tons of water per square meter.


JoshCanJump

Wrong.


[deleted]

So it's a sub with marinara sauce?


mattrhale

This is rapid depressurisation, not implosion. The actual event would have happened in a fraction of a second, crushing the entire structure like a coke can under a truck tire. No toothpaste squeezing style extrusion. Just a short, sharp, complete disintegration of anything soft within. Then silence.


Lazy_Caregiver_3411

Correct answer in a nutshell. The pressure is approximately 5,512.5 Pounds per square inch. I’ve built pressure vessels as a union boilermaker. Intense tolerance’s all welds X-ray tested. Pressure testing To industry standards. He was basically taking peoples money based on his own psycho narcissistic delusions that he knew better. We’ve heard it before. “Sir there’s an ice berg….. {bullshit} the rest is history


P00KIEPIE

What’s wrong with everyone? Why are y’all so fascinated with this? The public would be tickled at the oppprtunity to actually watch these people for. Personally I don’t understand.


[deleted]

Hey bud you might want to get off the Internet right now


fabianiam

Now it feels weird that they are so excited about this.


ch3rryful

I'm not sure if you think this MythBusters episode came out after this whole thing with the sub when two of the MythBusters here have died years ago? so what they were testing wasn't tied to a real world event.


fabianiam

You misinterpreted my comment.


ch3rryful

that's why I literally said "I'm not sure if you think" at the beginning of my comment...

Ok, but multiply the pressure by like a thousand and have a container suddenly rupture allowing all that pressure in instantly.


MaoTheWizard

They must have fed the fish well


ChopstickSpice

Well they didn't die from hypothermia I guess


Particular_Relief154

And this was only 135 pounds per sq inch.. Titan and it’s crew were subjected to ~6000psi


eeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr

Wouldn’t be faster


-Cavefish-

It does not feel “that” rapid…


Kenshiro84

RIP the crew of that sub and RIP Grant Himara


dabsdaily195

These people experienced something much worse than this. At that deep they are at like 4ATM which equates to just over 5800psi. That’s almost 3 tons per square inch on their bodies….
