I know they're saying they didn't know what hit em and it was instantaneous, but I'm betting just a few moments before there was an audible creak that made one of them shit their pants

Not to make things more morbid than they already are but I'd have to imagine there were some ominous creaking sounds of the sub's structure slowly giving away before the implosion. Being in a submerged submarine is definitely not on my bucket list. Last edited by Otter; 12-01-2023 at 05:05 PM.. |

I'd say that's highly likely. The end may have happened in a microsecond, but they probably knew they were ****ed.

I'm not an expert on submarines, but I believe that happens with every deep dive.

My college roommate (one of them) was an ex Navy nuke that served time on a submarine and would share stories when he got drunk and stoned enough. He would never talk about them sober. They weren't traditional battle stories but just experiences of being locked in a tube for months underwater and the sounds he would hear with pressure and what not. Brilliant mathematician but, for lack of a better word(s), he was highly anxious, OCD guy. I honestly hope he got on some kind of meds to even him out. I just can't imagine how being underwater that long wouldn't play games with ones yin/yang balance. Last edited by Otter; 12-01-2023 at 06:28 PM.. |
