It'd still be unpleasant as quick as it is.


From the atmosphere igniting, to your lungs and sinus cavities basically imploding. It would be a fairly quick but still outwordly terrible way to go.


The more I read, I don't hold out much hope unless the sub managed to surface, but if it did, it would have a GPS tracker that would in theory work when it hit the surface. Plus I would assume every satellite that can would be surface scanning.



If they got caught in the Titanic structure like the speculation is, they're on a very short clock.
