Special Relativity and Spaghettification

GodWarrior98

It seems to me that spaghettification may conflict with certain principles of relativity.

Consider three objects. Two are stationary relative to each other(A and B), and the third(C) is flying between both of them at a relativistic velocity. Now, A and B will observe C as having a large amount of mass, and C will observe both A and B as having large amounts of mass. A and B will gravitate toward C(or so they think). C will observe A and B attracting each other and C(or so he thinks). (Note: I am not certain if these would actually be identical scenarios, as I am quite lazy. For the purposes of this thread, I am assuming that all observers will see a consistent reality.)

Now, this would be all fine and dandy under most conditions. Everybody sees a reality perfectly consistent with relativity. However, add spaghettification into the picture. Certain parts of each observer will have different amounts of attraction. What I want to know is if these different amounts are actually different for each observer.

Observer C will observe A and B to be spaghettificated toward each other, and slightly toward itself.
Observers A and B will observe each other as slightly spaghettificated toward each other, and strongly toward A.
To me, these appear to be entirely different realities. From C's picture, A and B will be "pointed" toward each other mostly, and slightly tilted toward C.
To A or B, the "point" will be more toward A, and only slightly tilted to the other stationary observer.
Am I overlooking something?

For spaghettification, you're missing a black hole.

By spaghettification are you actually trying to talk about length contractions?
