I’m inclined to agree with you on this - sometimes, rumors get exaggerated.

The Guardian article I linked above says the Coast Guard recovered “presumed human remains” - though I’d think it would be hard to recognize much of anything exposed to that much force. A few bits of snarge, I’m guessing.

I don’t know if that kind of temperature lasts more than microseconds, so that might not be enough time for much combustion to happen.

In any case, the forces from a 300 atm pressure differential would mash the people to goo in the blink of an eye. Like being inside an exploding bomb. Except exploding in. They’re fish food.

EDIT: There are reports that the Coast Guard recovered “presumed human remains”.

What could possibly be left of them after that implosion?

Yeah, I’m sick of being Zucc’d, Musk’d, and Spez’d.

Not to say I don’t trust Meta, but I don’t trust them…

IIRC, the biggest problem in a vacuum is that your lungs work in reverse, expelling oxygen from your bloodstream into the void, so you have about 15 seconds of consciousness with which to panic before you black out.

I just binged The Expanse… Yeah, when the space pirates make you walk the airlock, it’s slightly less lethal than being instagibbed by implosion, but certainly far from fun.

I’m glad I never got into cryptocurrency. For all intents & purposes, it might as well be Monopoly money.
