Excuse the ignorance, but, assuming the overarching content of the thread is true and we’re splitting hairs on pressure etc. why is the wreckage of the titanic not more disintegrated? Is this because the whole implosion is simply to do with pressure differential? Ie the ship floated to the bottom and therefore didn’t experience the same effect?
