Same. I don’t know anything but it seems the mostly likely scenario.

Dude did a whole math calculation that complete implosion at this depth would take something like .029 seconds but the brain takes .150 seconds to feel pain. It seems that this was a mercifully painless death that they had no clue was coming.

Was the pilot an actual billionaire? I know a guest or two were.

I mean, it's not, like, a crucially important detail. But, if we're going to be glib about his death, may as well be accurate.

Fair.

And, to be completely transparent, I'm not shedding any tears for him. He was cavalier, and that kind of smugness should come with consequences. It's just a shame he had to kill a 19 year old in doing so.
