Please somebody know what I’m talking about. If not, then please see the diving bell incident in the link provided below. I just don’t see how you are killed by air.

You know how when you crack a can of soda suddenly it starts bubbling? under pressure the bubbles stay in the soda, when you release the pressure the bubbles come out. basically same thing happens to human blood under pressure, we absorb nitrogen gas in our bloodstream.

instantly going from 9 to 1 likely “boiled” their blood instantly.
