@netflix, next time y’all decide to do a livestream like #skyscraperlive — limit the commentators. That was ridiculous.
& to put @AlexHonnold in a little screen while some random dude talks is a disgrace.
Alex, YOU were incredible to watch & congratulations on making history!
Catastrophic Implosion of a submersible explained:
When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500 miles per hour - that’s 2,200 feet per second.
The time required for complete collapse is 20 / 2,200 seconds = about 1 millisecond.
A human brain responds instinctually to stimulus at about 25 milliseconds. Human rational response (sense→reason→act) is at best 150 milliseconds.
The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapors.
When the hull collapses it behaves like a very large piston on a very large Diesel engine.
The air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion. Large blobs of fat (that would be humans) incinerate and are turned to ash and dust quicker than you can blink your eye.

Not sure why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture called "Dignity" was unveiled several years ago in Chamberlain South Dakota.
Created by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation. It's absolutely stunning.
@beardyjon85@maria_aguilera I’m not sure what part of STX you’ve been to, but almost everything is also done in Spanish. Church sermons are done in Spanish. Television & media ads are Spanish. Thanks for providing a blanket statement.
Despite 911 calls indicating kids were still alive, police did not force entry into the classroom. 19 officers were in the hallway, the director of Texas Public Safety says.
@stephmichnel@_morgan__k We can all agree that something needs to change, but please let the community MOURN first. Have some respect for the families & individuals that were directly & indirectly affected.
