(NDTV) The catastrophic undersea implosion of a tourist submersible that killed all five people aboard while diving to the century-old wreck of the Titanic has gained the attention of most of the global population using the internet.
The reason and outcome of this terrible tragedy have been described in various ways by ocean scientists and maritime business outfits.
On the internet, a video clip demonstrating how the Titan submersible imploded is currently trending.
The 6-minute, 20-second animation video, which was posted on June 30 by AiTelly, a YouTube channel, has crossed over 6 million views in just 12 days of posting.
The sub disappeared from radar less than two hours after beginning its descent towards the Titanic wreckage on June 18. After a search operation that lasted for four days, the US Coast Guard said that the vessel imploded, killing all five passengers who paid $250,000 each for the trip.
The video talks about what implosion is and explains that implosion is a process of destruction by collapsing the object itself.
The animation elaborates that the implosion was caused by the very high hydrostatic pressure of the surrounding water, which happened within a fraction of a millisecond, as shown in the animation.
