To be vaporized would require expansion of solid and liquid particles. I doubt that could happen at that pressure.
Yeah not sure but was thinking at that much pressure the water would fill into your lungs and push outward and with the inner pressure from the outside water would just crush you to nothing.


NOTE; just the thought of it is scary as hell in any scenario.

I suppose it's possible. I think they'd just be crushed by steel and water instantaneously.

At any rate, I don't think they would spring a slow leak at that depth. I think it would be over before they knew anything was amiss but, literally, who knows? I don't think anyone does with certainty.

Oh yeah there would be no "small leak" and was only thinking about the body and not the sub. That sub was gone in seconds.

I was reading this and that is why I thought maybe water would fill the lungs?

i guess I didnt mean vaporized as I know that would mean every molecule gone... but destroyed to a point of not being able see it in the water from floating particles.

Gordon Lightfoot didn't even live long enough to write 'The Wreck of the Sub OceanGate"
And Sadly John Denver left us way too soon or he would have written a follow-up to his literal hit "leaving on a jet plane".

The legend lives on off the coast of St. John's
Of the big pond they call North Atlantic
The sea, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of the summer turn frantic
With a load of five who had plenty of drive
And also had boatloads of money
To visit the ship it was a tourist trip
The forecast was bright, hot, and sunny

...still a work in progress.

The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.

pressure is about 6,500 PSI down there.
utterly pancaked, and as you said - in a millisecond.
Thats probably preferable to knowing something bad was happening for two days. I still do not think death by oxygen running out is a bad one, at least from what @jstewismybastardson (aka the real Green River Killer) told me, but two days of panic/fear would not be good.
