This is a lie to make people feel better, rather than let them think they will die instantly, let them think for an hour and 30 mins they will calmly enjoy their final minutes listening to Mike Myers. Personally I’d rather go out to Wayne’s World if it’s going to be Mike Myers.
My preferred death would be instantaneous combustion. No need for a cremation later, just a one shot of death and decorporealization.
My preferred death would be something so utterly absurd that people would talk about it for decades afterward.
Some of our best shitposting artists are over 60, don’t forget.
Except we now know the sub imploded, and they were killed instantly. Apparently they dropped ballast seconds before the implosion, so they must have seen or heard something.
Also, the US armed forces have a bunch of undersea microphones to listen for Russian subs, and they knew what had happened immediately, and told the crew on the support vessel.
