@@charlesharris8391 Yeah, I figured it was the human equivalent of a hydraulic press. Also I just looked the incident up, and that's a depressurization issue, not an implosion. Similar could happen in space if you opened a shuttle door improperly. Implosion is when a structure is crushed from the pressure, while that was more of an explosion from the extremely dense air rushing outwards to the normal air.
