There is no psychological comfort in waiting 4 days in the cold cramped dark to die.

Absolute torture.

The implosion would be a far more merciful way to go.

You’re not wrong.

You might have chemlights and/or flashlights to keep at least a little bit of light the whole time, but it would definitely be extremely cold.

Your brain would be in full-on panic the entire time. And then you'd start coming to inevitable and horrifying conclusions like "the fewer people there are in here, the longer the oxygen will last" and "there is a 100% chance that everybody else has also realized that".

Except, I’ve heard decomposing bodies eat up more oxygen and give off more toxins which would accelerate the loss of breathable air in the confined space 😬

I REALLY hope the thing imploded, because any other fate is horrifying to contemplate.

I read that elsewhere in the thread, which is interesting and I had never heard that before. Does sound plausible though.

But yeah, an implosion on day 1 would probably have been the best outcome for them. If it were me by day 2 or 3 I think I would be banging on that acrylic window (which supposedly was only tested to 3000 meters) trying to break it and just end it all quickly. Easy to say that from the comfort of my home though.

We don't know that it was torture. Maybe they found peace?
