      Tragedy, noun

      2 : a serious drama typically describing a conflict between the protagonist and a superior force (such as destiny) and having a sorrowful or disastrous conclusion that elicits pity or terror

      Ocean pressure is a superior force, so it’s not inaccurate.

        and having a sorrowful or disastrous conclusion that elicits pity or terror

        It’s not sorrowful., Could be disastrous so I’ll give it that. It neither elicits pity nor terror though.

        You could only make a disaster/comedy about it.
