I’m inclined to agree with you on this - sometimes, rumors get exaggerated.
The Guardian article I linked above says the Coast Guard recovered “presumed human remains” - though I’d think it would be hard to recognize much of anything exposed to that much force. A few bits of snarge, I’m guessing.
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, IIRC, 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?
Safety schmafety, what could possibly go wrong?
IIRC, the biggest problem in a vacuum is that your lungs work in reverse, expelling oxygen from your bloodstream into the void, so you have about 15 seconds of consciousness with which to panic before you black out.
No, you get the entire community to ignore those shits by banning and defederating.
Yes! Hold the instance owners accountable for allowing that shit to fester and be rebroadcast.
Nine people dining at a table with a Nazi means you have ten Nazis.
Defederate their asses. Fascism is a cancer.
Anyone who’s been on Reddit or Twitter knows what happens if you give those psychopaths an inch.
Deplatforming works. That’s why the chuds whine about it.
Absolutely! Defederation is the prime weapon against these choad warriors.
Fuck fascists, and fuck any instance which would host them!
I just binged The Expanse… Yeah, when the space pirates make you walk the airlock, it’s slightly less lethal than being instagibbed by implosion, but certainly far from fun.
I’m glad I never got into cryptocurrency. For all intents & purposes, it might as well be Monopoly money.
I’m making my transition a somewhat gradual one. I’ll still be on Reddit, in the more esoteric subs, though I feel dirty every time I go there. As all the cool kids migrate over, I’ll spend less time there and more time here.
It would have been sufficiently terrifying… You’d be hearing the hull pop, groan, and creak, then the laptops used to drive the boat start lighting up with “DANGER! HULL INTEGRITY FAILURE!”, followed by Stockton frantically grabbing that video game controller to drop the ballast, do an emergency blow, but it’s already too late… You don’t know how long before you get turned into shark chum, but the suspense…
