One source said that the tapping sounds of the carbon fibers breaking may have gone on for up to 10 minutes before catastrophic failure. Still better than suffocating for days in a dark, cold, cramped space, but also pretty terrifying if they were aware what was happening and were desperately trying to race to the surface. Also enough time for Stockton Rush to realize how foolish he was.
