Pitch black at 3,300 feet.

They are traveling over 10 times that.

That is horrifying.

If any window or hull fitting were to actually fail you would not have to worry about drowning, or being crushed by the increased pressure, you would be incinerated first.

This is not as comforting to me as perhaps you thought it would be.

Not really sure about this. We run electronics and lithium-thionyl chloride batteries up to 30,000 psi and 200 deg C without explosions. Unless of course the lithium comes in contact with water.


The batteries are basically a solid, not a gas that can be compressed. Compress a gas its temperature rises, decrease pressure and temperature decreases ssuming volume is held constant, it is the principle on which all air condition and refrigeration works.
