Those on Titan understood that the end was near a minute before the explosion: “That moment would have been very difficult” | the world

A very total pain. In an interview with Spanish newspaper NIUS, engineer and submarine expert Jose Luis Martin said Titan’s passengers had dived “48 seconds to 1 million 11 times” before its technical analysis blew up, allowing the best. Understanding the progression of travel made it possible to calculate the exact time of free fall.

For this, the expert bases himself on the submersible’s weight, thrust, mass, acceleration, the falling speed of a free body and the coefficient of friction exerted by the water on the falling body. From 48 to 71 seconds before the tragedy, the occupants fell uncontrollably and vertically until the explosion occurred. The submarine would have suffered an “electrical problem” that would have left it “without propulsion at a depth of 1700 meters”.

“That moment must have been very difficult for everyone because they lost control and they knew that their end was near. It was definitely the worst because everything happened so quickly after that. It was an instant compression. The explosion was like a balloon bursting. Death was instant”, examined that.
