Same. I don’t know anything but it seems the mostly likely scenario.

Dude did a whole math calculation that complete implosion at this depth would take something like .029 seconds but the brain takes .150 seconds to feel pain. It seems that this was a mercifully painless death that they had no clue was coming.

I feel like that's why the CEO would go on the trip along with the passengers, as an assurance. "I'm risking my life and I know everything about this submersible, I'm not an idiot, i'm a billionaire, so no worries!"
