    I read that from the compression the air ignites so they probably burnt to ashes in milliseconds.
    But I might got it wrong.

      I don’t know if that kind of temperature lasts more than microseconds, so that might not be enough time for much combustion to happen.

      In any case, the forces from a 300 atm pressure differential would mash the people to goo in the blink of an eye. Like being inside an exploding bomb. Except exploding in. They’re fish food.

      EDIT: There are reports that the Coast Guard recovered “presumed human remains”.

      What could possibly be left of them after that implosion?
