The story is genuinely fascinating not just because of the off-the-charts level of hubris displayed by Rush, but because "death by implosion" is a really weird way to die. It's very rare. And it happened on the dive to the Titanic, a vessel on which many others lost their lives. It's morbidly fascinating. If it had happened to a regular scientist on a bathysphere trip to the Mariana trench, it would be just another tragedy, albeit an odd one.
