We're not talking about Cauchy horizons, we're talking about event
horizons around black holes. And, psst, tidal forces stay finite around
event horizons, too. Hint: Even event horizons are one-way barriers,
not two-way barriers.

You get one, larger, black hole, which all the particles within each
horizon end up destroyed in at its singularity (or near it, for
ring-shaped singularities).
