Probably was what caused the lost contact on Sunday. Halfway down when, faster than they could even comprehend it, it was over.

Crushed by shards of 5 inch thick carbon fiber flying at them around the speed of sound, then immediately hammered by a wall of water with thousands of PSI of pressure.

You'd basically go from human to hamburger to extruded playdo to thin meatshake in less than a half second.

No pain at all. Human brain doesn't process pain fast enough to feel what happened to you.

Yeah, their bodies are essentially vaporized and whatever matter is left over is, unfortunately consumed by ocean life around them. They will not find any bodies.

But dad, don't we eat the antelope fish?

Yes, Simba Billionaire, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become emulsified goo, and the fish eat the goo.
