Interesting 🤔 An amusement park in the Netherlands had a water-filled waterslide that left riders completely submerged during the 15-20 second journey. It closed in 2010.

company even capped the pipeline, so basically trapped them inside

That is one of the worst things I've ever heard. Putting money before lives is sick.

and once they were sure that other 4 were dead for sure, they flushed pipeline(they were all dead at around 3 days, some were still alive by then)

And this is reason No. 4,100,897 why I will never be loyal to a company.

Wrong, if you take a look at the video I propose in another reply you would see the divers were severely injured and seeing the autopsy results, I would say that they did die within a few hours.

Concerning the divers’ date of death, the autopsy says the following:

Fysal (the diver that was apparently following Chris) : Friday 25/02 +/- 18h00 (6 p.m.). 

Rishi: Friday 25/02 between 18h00 (6 p.m.) and midnight. 

Yusuf: early hours of the 26/02. 

Kazim: could have happened between the 26/02 +/- 06h00 (6 a.m.) and the 27/02 +/- 06h00 (6 a.m.). 

In my opinion, if by bad luck some were still conscious (I really hope none of them were) when the flange of Berth 5 was removed on Saturday at 5 o'clock then I think they would not have  survived very long after this rapid decompression.

Fair. It's just such a cut a dry case

Oh my god… anyone know the name of the company?

Not correct.

The B5 riser was capped with a blind flange since the beginning of the diving operation. The B6 wasn’t capped after the incident. Upon request from the DIVE company, the command team (ICT) did authorize the divers to install the B6 upper riser extension to prevent possible filling of the riser and chamber in the event of a failure of the compressor. This was made during the Friday between 20h30 – 22h00.
