Horrifying simulation shows how a human body implodes in the deep ocean

A horrifying simulation shows just what would happen to your body if you were to end up 3,800 meters under water.

For most people, diving around 40 meters below sea level is seen as safe; but going underwater in an capacity can pose some element of danger.

Going just 20 meters down, water pressure is around three times that of the surface - so you can only imagine what it would feel like to be thousands of meters down.

As it's pretty unimaginable, a simulation was created to show what's likely to happen to your body if you go almost 4,000 meters below sea level.

The simulation was created to showcase what the passengers on the OceanGate's Titan submersible experienced last year.

All five people on the Titanic-bound submarine died in June 2023; the youngest being only 19 years old.

The victims went on to be named as 58-year-old Hamish Harding, 48-year-old Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Sulaiman Dawood, Paul-Henry Nargeolet and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush.

At around 3,500 meters underwater, the submarine lost contact with the surface.

At this point, the vessel was so deep that the amount of water on it would have been equivalent to the weight of the Eiffel Tower, reported BBC News.

While the submarine was supposed to be equipped to handle the enormous water pressure, it was reported at the time of the heartbreaking ordeal that the vessel's hull collapsed.

As a result, both the submersible and those inside it imploded.

In regards to what happens to a person that far below the ocean's surface, it would quite literally crush you.

The lungs would collapse and the blood vessels would burst, leading to internal bleeding.

Apparently this would be fatal 'in minutes' and the body's tissues would be crushed.

According to one expert, the Titan passengers' deaths will have been 'sudden'.

Dr. Dale Molé, the former director of undersea medicine and radiation health for the US Navy, explained to the Daily Mail last year: "It would have been so sudden, that they wouldn't even have known that there was a problem, or what happened to them.

"It's like being here one minute, and then the switch is turned off. You're alive one millisecond, and the next millisecond you're dead."

Molé continued: "They would have been ripped to shreds. An implosion is when the wave of pressure is inward, whereas an explosion is when the pressure wave or the shock wave goes out from whatever the source of that is."
