RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

That's what's known as an implosive compression.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

So basically, with the bifid, when the pressure dropped from 9 atmospheres to 1 atmosphere, everything inside the chamber, including what was inside the divers, quite literally, wanted to get outside of the chamber because of the change in pressure that way.

With the titan, however, the pressure inside the sub was 1 atmosphere, like it is at the surface, while the pressure outside was 400 atmospheres.

So when the breach in the Titan sub occurred, everything outside the vessel wanted to get in because, as Hannah said, pressure always wants to move from a position of high pressure to a position of low pressure.

As a result, the Titan was instantly crushed into itself.

Don't need it.

Don't need it.

And Hannah, do you know what the most pressure a human being has ever experienced is?

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

The pressure to succeed.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

Good job.

A diver was sent down to 2,300 feet.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

That is a pressure of 71.1 atmospheres.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

I realize I said incorrectly earlier in this episode that the divers were going down to 20,000.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

That's not correct.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

The drill bit that they were drilling into for oil was at 20,000.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

They were at maximum like 300 foot.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

So 2,000 foot more than that is the max depth we've ever sent somebody.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

I think so.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

I think they were right.

RedHanded
ShortHand: The Byford Dolphin Incident

I don't know how.
