The US Navy often gets involved in a variety of underwater searches. It was once explained to me by a US navy officer who worked with such things that's a good way to test their training, equipment and capabilities. I met him on a flight to Europe where he was going to coordinate with Norway on some underwater scenarios.

If citizens don't like it then write your congressman and senators.

Just think - the compression ratio (of air) in a diesel engine is about 20:1 - and enough to 'ignite' the fuel.
This thing imploding a couple miles down would be about a 400:1 compression ratio !!
- that much instantaneous energy would have incinerated any contents/bodies in a flash - nothing to recover but ashes!

To quote a P.O.D. song, "Here goes the Boom"...

^^^^^

Not really. Yes, both matter and energy are compressed but there are initial and secondary shock waves in under water implosions. One is the energy/air being compressed, the other is the water rushing in and rebounding. All of this happening in less than a second.

Remember that the adult human body is about 60% water (non compressible but can be displaced), so damage to the body is the result of force (over time/duration). They would not be incinerated by any stretch of the imagination. The bodies would first be compressed (at roughly 5,000 psi) then torn apart as the non-compressible matter (blood/water) is rapidly displaced.

It is 'possible' that some major bone structures could survive that (and teeth), but that is about all. It is isn't reasonable to expect that any significant 'remains' exist to recover.

Sadly all were lost, and to make matters worse....it is being reported that 'Suleman Dawood' (19 year old Son of billionaire Dawood) didn't want to go....but finally submitted when asked to do it for Father's Day.

Any picts from the debris field or the major components remaining of the sub start showing up yet?

interesting

I'm not thinking the body 'self igniting' but the body surrounded by the explosively-compressed air - that air had to have gotten super hot being instantly compressed ! pv=nrt !

I believe the air gets displaced more than compressed.

instantaneous. Never knew what happened

It does get hot.....but you've not factored in that this effect happens over 'time' (or duration). It isn't present long enough to 'incinerate' a human body. Then cavitation takes place (the energy disperses, not concentrates) and the water column collapses (second energy impulse).

So...while heat is certainly generated....it isn't present long enough to be the prime destructive factor. Pressure impulses (the implosion itself) is the destructive force and it happens very quickly. The same way in Explosion has velocity, so too does an Implosion.

Correct.

Both. Air is compressible so it certainly gets compressed under the sudden force of roughly 5,000 psi (or more) but it is only for a fraction of a second THEN as you alluded, becomes displaced/dispersed, which is what causes the cavitation. The cavitation then collapses under the pressure of the water column.

Yeah, I guess the duration is so short, the 'motion' physics vastly supersedes the 'heat' physics - the same way as on a paper-patched-bullet when fired in a rifle-cartridge, the paper doesn't burn!
