Being in an enclosed space, knowing no one else can hear you, surrounded by people probably having a panic attack, at the bottom of the ocean in total darkness while you are slowly noticing the air getting harder and harder to breathe… yeah I would’ve taken the hull imploding over 80-something hours of that.
One guy is down there with his 19yo son… empathy is a powerful thing, imagining that situation just makes my heart sink.

Closed doors and the dark were a challenge. He got depth charged in a submarine during WWII. The lights got blown out, water was coming in etc. Everyone survived but it had a marked effect on him.
- peteradio 3y agoThat's an incredible story. Someone had to keep their wits about them to successfully resurface. I imagine there was a lot of experience and training that saved that crew.
