CO2 poisoning is not "falling asleep."



Correct, CO2 poisoning is suffocating because you can't exhale/off-gas.  We can survive ok, down to about 14% O2 (for a little while) but if CO2 gets too high, we can't exchange gasses.  At 40% CO2, you would suffocate even if the O2 concentration was a normal 21%.


Do the guys that kill themselves with a running car/garden hose get passed out drunk ?

that's CO, not CO2


Dumb mistake.

Exactly.   As long as it's not keeping them from an actual national security related mission it's seems like pretty good training.  Trying to find a mini sub at 10x the depths they normally patrol sounds like playing on hard mode.

Your brain would be crushed before it could interpret any visual signals.

Should be a lights out situation with the nearly instantaneous compression acting on every surface.

Plus the inrush forces would cause a huge pressure spike one all the gasses were compressed.  I can't math that one out but it is way over that constant 6000psi.
View Quote


If I did my math correctly, the structural collapse would be at a velocity of around 19,000 mph or ~8500 meters per second or about the speed of det cord going off all around you and compressing you and everything in the space into a little ball.  Just the pressure wave alone would obliterate you and the compression of the air would then instantly oxidize the atomized bits in the fractions of the microsecond before the water dispersed your debris field.

That makes me wonder if you could use ocean pressure implosion to detonate a nuke instead of explosives?

Titanic got 5 more. We don't need to lose more on a recovery mission. I vote time to start pulling our horns back in. Getting to the point if they located it now, probably still couldn't save crew given the many constraints already listed.
