So I had a thought and looked up a little info. The pressure at the depth of the Titanic is approximately 6000 PSI. The average human has about 3000 sq inches of surface area. Does that mean the force exerted on the body at that depth is equivalent to being squished by a force of 18,000,000 lbs? Or is that an incorrect assumption of how the force would work?

So, for sure this will be added to Titanic wreck tour stops?
