Indeed it would. The CO2 would trigger the breathing reflex and panic. Hypoxia does not trigger that and you start to lose yourself, similar to being drunk.
I think the problem is more being stuck in a dark small and cramped space with 4 other people for 96 hours, where there is no on-board toilet and you just don’t know if help will arrive in time or not.
Compared to that, I think an instant death due to implosion sounds preferrable.
My exact thoughts. Hypoxia is a terrible way to go.
Hypoxia is actually relatively peaceful… not as instant as pressure implosion, but better by far than drowning
Not in the way that it would have happened in an environment that’s CO2 levels are slowly increasing.
Would that not be Carbon dioxide poisoning rather than hypoxia?
I’m not a doctor, but I stayed at a holiday in express last night.

Yeah I got a bit hypoxic on a mountain, it was 29F with a wind and here I am taking off my jacket feeling nice and warm overly euphoric.
You pass out because your brain goes to sleep, it’s not some painful choking death.

Is it? I thought you’d just get confused and drowsy until you sleep forever.
