I've seen it in the movies, but was anyone really fooled by that? I honestly don't know on this, I just wonder if it did ever work. I figure bodies wouldn't work because they would be too intact, after an implosion I would think you only get bits. I don't know, I'm pleased I don't know.

I figure a lot, and I mean a lot, of diesel might do the trick, but random garbage would look just like random garbage. Reading stories of ASW vessels, a smell of diesel was not enough to claim a kill, and human remains had to be brought aboard for identification.
