I have not been following the issue closely, but what I have been told is the sub collapsed under preassure. If true, I suspect they gor crushed quite quickly.
This incident has reminded me of the John Edwards Jone incident in the Nutty Cave. This guy got in for some spelunking and took the wrong turn. He managed to get stuck in a tunnel too tight for anything to pass through, much less a man. He spent 27 or 28 hours stuck in the tunnel upside down unable to move an inch and the rescue team could not do a thing. The guy died there and in fact is still there.
Dunno, maybe I am weird, but getting in such hostile claustrophobic places is the sort of thing miners do for a pay. It is not something I would do for a hobby.

They didn't run out of oxygen. They were crushed/splattered by a catastrophic implosion of the pressure hull, and likely never knew what happened. That event takes a small fraction of a second.

They were literally dead before they knew it. The implosion
took about 2 milliseconds, it takes the human brain about 25
millisecond to recognize what happened....

That presumes that the implosion occured before they ran out of air. Or started eating each other, etc.
On one hand, I feel sorry for those people. That's not a good way to go since they would have been aware of their impending death for quite some time.

According to the US Navy, they detected the sonar signatures of an implosion shortly after the time the submersible was put in the water, like an hour or
so. Highly doubtful the crew and passengers would have resorted to cannibalism in that amount of time.

I'm basing my assumption on the idea that the pilot knew that
they were done for early on when something broke. Also, since
the dive went **way** beyond the stated timeframe, I assume that
the passengers also knew (or at least felt that way).

I don't think you have all the information, or are not understanding
it. The sounds of the implosion happend about 1 hour and 45 minutes
after submerging. They were dead a few milliseconds later. The dive
did NOT go way beyond the stated timeframe, it lasted only 1:45 and was effectively over. I doubt any of them knew it was coming at all.

Some of it made it to the ocean floor where it is pretty deep. I am wondering if they will even try to retrieve it or if it will just be left there as another grave site.

Apparently the sub made three other dives to the titanic
before, and a few similar deep dives in the Bahamas. And it
spent "test" time in laboratory test chambers. But meanwhile,
it went thru "modifications" as well. The real questions are
at what points during that time were "concerns" ignored.

But there are missions to retreive something related to the dive
from the ocean. I figure it is small parts of the ship. I think
they are probably not going to tell us much that we don't already
know so they should just leave it there.
Then again, they probably need something to show someone so
someone else can get sued.

Most obese people have a comparatively low metabolism for their size. The fat guy has also, likely gone through a number of really restrictive diets and least likely to resort to cannibalism. My bet would be on the socker mom that has two venti coffees from starbucks before noon.

Absolutely right on both statements. Those occasions when that kind of thinking is actually good are *VERY* infrequent in the space and
deep-sea exploration industries, especially. There simply is no room
for error due to the completely unforgiving nature of the working environments for both.

I would argue that it has been good for *unmanned* space

I have a friend that tried Nutri-system and he lost 20 pounds in the trial per iod. Part of it was switching from 3 larger meals to 6 smaller snacking type meals a day. As mentioned, I think part of it working was keeping away the hunger by spreading out the intake of food.

My concern is maintaining metabolism. Fasting or skipping meals may confuse the body's energy consumption/ energy savings modes. It may be worse if you have low metabolism.
respond. This is where you start seeing "pre-diabetic" levels of glucose (long after the damage is already started).... which is why people should get a baseline glucose test every year, not just an A1C (which only starts showing after the damage is started, often after a decade or more).
