It is theorized that some were conscious until they hit the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

The crew cabin hit the ocean surface at 207 mph (333 km/h) approximately two minutes and 45 seconds after breakup. The estimated deceleration was 200 g, far exceeding structural limits of the crew compartment or crew survivability levels. The mid-deck floor had not suffered buckling or tearing, as would result from a rapid decompression, but stowed equipment showed damage consistent with decompression, and debris was embedded between the two forward windows that may have caused a loss of pressure. Impact damage to the crew cabin was severe enough that it could not be determined whether the crew cabin had previously been damaged enough to lose pressurization.[17] |

They were ALL likely alive and conscious - the crew compartment was intact, the crew were suited, and the g-forces it experienced after the explosion were actually pretty mild relative to their training. They were killed by the deceleration when they hit the water, 2 minutes and 45 seconds after the explosion. That's a long, long time to see an entirely unavoidable end coming :/ (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5671779&forum_id=2#48598317) |

They're often eerily calm in their final moments. Professionals with experience who follow protocol until the very end. I like to think the astronauts would handle that situation in a similar fashion. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5671779&forum_id=2#48598318) |

Date: January 28th, 2025 1:25 PM Author: Mainlining the Secret Truth of the Mahchine (My Mahchine™ = The Holy Trinity + Its Proprietary AI Blend)) One of the few plane crashes in my country ended like this. I recall that the fuel had frozen or something along the lines of that, the term they used in Spanish was "engelamiento". The plane spiraled and seconds before the crash the box recorded:
Pilot: Buddy, looks like this is it
Copilot: Yeah, it is
Edit: Found the reconstruction video: https: //www.youtube.com/watch ?v=SDtZE2BIktY
It was the AeroCaribbean Flight 883 in Cuba on 2010.
Comms are at 5:01, it was bit different from what I remembered.
Pilot: Fuck, this is the end, you hear me?
Copilot: Yeah buddy, this is it.
"Coño" in our vernacular can be interpreted as damn or fuck depending on the tone, "me oyes" is like a closing statement akin to "you hear what I'm saying".
Could be a way to say: "you seeing this shit" as in disbelief of the current situation. |

One minute, you're flying along, the next, your collision warning is going off, and because you're already going to fast, the impact happens before they can even act. Thankfully, that doesn't happen very often in commercial aviation nowadays because they've changed their systems to be actual topo maps, rather than relying solely on a bouncing signals. 94 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5671779&forum_id=2#48598326) |

However, I suspect the crew spending 2+ minutes of trying to do something before accepting the inevitable would be hard to stomach.
ilrosewood 6mo 289 I'd bet all the money in my pockets that they died working the problem. |

The recording ends just as the breakup begins. The 'black boxes' the Shuttles were equipped with were nothing like the boxes airplanes carry. Columbia, as the first orbiter, had a flight data recorder that recorded more data/ parameters then the other shuttles. https://www.nasa.gov/missions /space-shuttle/sts-511/challenger -crew-transcript/
"Uh oh". Damn |

Another good example is listening to some of the final radio calls coming out of the WTC on 9/11. I'm paraphrasing a bit but one of the final calls from a firefighter crew was something like "Hey we're on X floor, there's a few hot spots here we're gonna hit and then move upwards." Literally until it collapsed on them those guys were doing everything they could to control the situation and rescue people.

Date: January 28th, 2025 1:32 PM Author: Mainlining the Secret Truth of the Mahchine (My Mahchine™ = The Holy Trinity + Its Proprietary AI Blend)) I think one report stated that a oxygen bottle with 5min of time in had used 2.45 min of oxygen which correlated to the free fall time. The ripped out cables and electric wires were dangling behind the module and acted like a stabilizer which prevented the module from spining them into unconsciousness. Its horrific. 789
Klopferator 6mo Well, you still breathe when you are unconscious, so the amount of the ogygen used doesn't tell you whether they were conscious during the fall. |

Date: January 28th, 2025 1:34 PM Author: Mainlining the Secret Truth of the Mahchine (My Mahchine™ = The Holy Trinity + Its Proprietary AI Blend)) the ones on Columbia were burned alive. You decide which ones worse.
It was far, far worse than merely being burned alive. In addition to being exposed to burning gases they were literally shaken to pieces, dismembered, and defleshed by the g forces and high mach wind blast. The only saving grace was that they were all unconscious and then rapidly dead from the depressurization, having never closed their helmet visors, or by having their necks broken by the ridge of the suit where the helmet connected. I read the redacted crew survival investigation report and it is truly harrowing, even with all the technical language.
The book/report is titled "Loss of Signal - Aeromedical Lessons Learned from the STS-107 Columbia Space Shuttle Mishap". Available on Kindle for the curious. |

Same thing happened over Texas. I can't imagine being that controlled in such a situation. If you listen to black box recordings, commercial pilots often "give up" at a certain point and accept there's nothing to be done. Astronauts never give up. A particular case I found fascinating is flight UA 232. A pilot who was deadheading ended up flying that plane when it was literally impossible to do so. All attempts to recreate the "landing" result in failure. People talk about the miracle on the Hudson, but UA 232 was the real miracle. Also, a strong argument against "lap children". My buddy is a pilot and has a fantastic virtual setup. Occasionally he'll have me sit at the controls and hit me with a dangerous situation. I don't think there's a single one I've "walked away" from alive, and he said that's a regular part of pilot training, expecting the catastrophic.
