What if the world lost oxygen for five seconds?

Continue to read this thread...

It will blow up your mind!

1.

Oxygen takes up to 21% of our atmosphere and 78% being nitrogen.

2.

Five seconds may not sound like a big number but a lot can happen. And in that few seconds, the earth would look completely different.

3.

Without oxygen, you can say goodbye to anything that is made up of concrete.

- These structures would instantly collapse.

4.

Oxygen acts as a special binding agent to concrete. Without oxygen, it's just dust.

Speaking of buildings, any untreated metal would be instantly be fused together.

5.

It's also because there's a layer of oxidation on metals that prevents them from melding together. Without that layer, metals would bend.

6.

If you're at the beach, expect a severe sunburn. The ozone layer which protects us from UV rays is made up of oxygen.

7.

Take away the Oxygen the earth is dangerous!

8.

In addition to sunburn, our inner ear would explode. Losing oxygen means losing 21% of our air pressure.

9.

Without oxygen, there's no fire. The combustion process in vehicles won't be able to occur. Except for electric vehicles, every other mode of transport would fail.

10.

Planes would fall from the sky, and millions of vehicles would stop.

11.

The sky would be completely dark.

Before light hits the earth, it bounces off multiple particles in the air.

12.

While all this is happening, the earth's crust would completely crumble. That's because the earth's crust is made up of 45% oxygen.

13.

And it would continue to crumble until there's nothing left, making you and everyone on the planet do freefall.

14.

Sounds fun? probably not. But luckily, you can take a deep breath of 21% oxygen, knowing that this will never happen.
