RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

The diving belt must not be depressurized until the trunk is sealed or all of the living chambers will also be depressurized.

I actually think that Saunders has the worst outcome.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

Everyone is really bad, but like, and yes, Saunders is the only one who survives, but he is the one I would have wanted to be least because he is battered and it takes years for recovery.

ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

Everything we're about to show you about what happened to everybody else is horrible, but at least it was fucking over quickly.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

Because the pressure dropped from nine atmospheres to one atmosphere instantaneously in the living chambers.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

I read an example that, you know, when you're in the plane and that's a pressurized cabin, obviously, otherwise wouldn't be flying.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

That pain you get in your ear or like that blocking sensation, that's caused by a difference of a quarter of an atmosphere.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

This is a change in nine atmospheres.

And so, yes, as you will remember from what we just told you earlier in this episode, such a decompression procedure from 9 to 1 should have taken up to 5 days to allow the built-up nitrogen gases in the bodies of those men to seep out slowly.

of Bjorn, Lucas and Coward.

And they all died.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

Their blood essentially flash-boiled as the dissolved gases in their bodies and bloodstreams expanded nine-fold.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

The result was that their blood bubbled up as if it were boiling.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

with the autopsy report stating that around major blood vessels, quote, large amounts of free fat were found.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

This fat was mixed with gas bubbles and looked like sizzling butter on a frying pan.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

It's basically like somebody just shot a ginormous battering ram at Trolls as he's standing in front of this door that he's desperately trying to close.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

Oh, no chance.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

No chance.

And this next bit I'm going to read for all of you is an excerpt taken from Troll's Autopsy.
