They associated the debris they found earlier to be from the sub which pretty much confirms the implosion.

I'd definitely choose to die that way over asphyxiation or dehydration.

From what I heard they had two bottles for urine and a bag to deficate in. It would have been freezing and extremely humid inside after even a day as well.

A implosion would be way better than days cramped together suffocating and starving in a inescapable freezing stench filled coffin.

Plus imagine being the poor coast guard team that has to crack that sucker open after they finally found and raised it 🤢

100% agree here. But then again, you wouldn't catch me in a tiny enclosed space God knows how deep, no thanks. I'll look at titanic videos on youtube.

But isn’t the asphyxiation here on the levels of, you end up falling asleep and don’t wake up again. It’s not to the degree of you’re choking to death and can’t do anything about it.

I don’t think so. You’d feel the carbon dioxide building up in your muscles over time, it would be awful. That and the mind-destroying existential terror. I’d take the sudden crush depth exposure, thanks.

The issue I imagine is the stress and horror of being trapped in a coffin for several days beforehand.
