A clip from the TV show 'Mythbusters' has been viewed more than 340,000 times since it was posted to Twitter Thursday.

In the episode, hosts Jessi Combs, Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara investigated the myth that while using an old pressurized suit during a deep sea dive, a failure in the air supply could cause a rapid depressurization, resulting in swift and grizzly death.

Investigating this myth resulted in an experiment that saw a meat mannequin, filled with organs, put in to a deep dive pressure suit and placed 300 feet deep in the ocean. The team then cut the air supply line, used to counteract the pressure, being pumped down into the suit. "This is the effect on a"a human shaped dummy made of pig parts w/ bones muscle fat skin & mid section of guts." at 135 [pounds of pressure per square inch] in comparison, the depths of the titanic would be around an implosion at 5,600-6,000psi."
