    As of this evening AEST, it's all looking bad.
    Hull pressure at 3,800 meters is 4,000 tons per square meter.
    Death by implosion would be quick, 40 milliseconds or 1/25 of a second, no pain no awareness
    It's very cold. If the electrical system has failed there is no heat.
    No food or water for four days would be the least of their problems.
    Quote "It depends on how cold they get and how effective they are at conserving oxygen," he said, adding that shivering will use up a lot of oxygen, while wrapping up in a huddle can help to conserve heat.

    The vessel may have lost electrical power, which is likely to have a role in controlling the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside the vessel.

    As the oxygen level falls, the proportion of carbon dioxide being breathed out by the crew will be rising, with potentially fatal consequences.
