The point is the extreme, rapid force involved.

Imploding or exploding, nine atmospheres is gonna suck. 400 atmospheres is... like standing under a nuclear bomb. The good news is it doesn't hurt, at all.

Someone else on the thread posted a video of a one atmosphere implosion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz95_VvTxZM). 400x the pressure here.

Indeed. I'd be curious if there would even be a body to find. I have to imagine it'd be compressed into paste. It's very disturbing to think about, but also a preferable way to die compared to suffering through 96 hours of uncertainty before slowly asphyxiating.
