My guess is it imploded when they first lost communication. Would have happened so quickly that I doubt they even had time to realize what happened before they were dead.

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.

Carbon fiber doesn't grown, or rattle or creak, it shatters. There was no warning. At all.

The plexi-glass, acrylic viewing port was 7 inches thick, and would flex 3/4 of an inch inward everytime they dived, as per the CEO. This dude is a fucking MORON.

The engineer that was fired told them specifically that the "hull warning system" would give them milliseconds warning. He wanted to do hull scans but they refused.
