“Having a sleepless night just thinking about the conversation they would have knowing they have little to no hope of rescue. Your dad's analysis is spot on,” posted a Twitter user. “To be completely morbid: the oxygen will last the longest while all of them are alive. Once a body dies, the decay processes are going to quickly start using up the available O2 faster than a living person would,” added another. “There is little to no hope. It’s heartbreaking and horrifying,” shared another. “That went left quick!!!” wrote a fourth.
