What to know about the Titan sub and its tragic final dive to the Titanic
The water pressure at the Titanic is roughly 400 atmospheres or 6,000 pounds per square inch. Arun Bansil, a Northeastern University physics professor, likened the pressure to the force of a “whale biting on somebody.”

Why Delta Flight 4819 Flipped After Landing, According to a Physicist
“Various forces acting on the airplane must remain in proper balance for the airplane to fly, and to land and take off smoothly,” Arun Bansil, a physics professor at Northeastern University, told Northeastern Global News.

What photos of the Titanic sub debris tell us about its implosion
Arun Bansil, a professor at the physics department at Northeastern University in Boston, told The Independent that “although it seems counterintuitive, large objects do not normally split apart into smithereens in an implosion or explosion”.
Why Big Pieces Of The Titan Sub Survived Implosion But The Crew Didn’t
“Implosions like explosions are very violent,” explained Arun Bansil, physics professor at Northeastern University. “As the hull breaks apart under the huge external pressure, a large amount of energy is released, and the five occupants would have died instantly.”
