I get the point being made, but iirc there was no real confirmation that the sub had exploded initially, and so there was the belief that they might’ve been just floating around down there still alive but unable to communicate with the surface. Whereas with this I think it’s a more surefire thing that they’re dead - like unless they’re clinging to debris or were able to swim to shore, I’d imagine the only other option is they’re drowned
The water at the time was around 40 Fahrenheit/9 Celsius. That gives you, if you survive the fall — which includes not inhaling water with the human gasp response when you hit the cold water or breaking you pelvis/legs/back on the at-that-height now concrete-consistency water (~20 feet/7 meters or above) — a rough seven minutes to get to shore and wrapped up nice, tight, and warm to prevent hypothermia.
