What happens exactly when a sub like Oceangate’s Titan implodes?

How quickly does it happen? What kind of noise or other vibrations occur? Would occupants know as it was happening? What would be left? And all the other questions….

I have an interesting question, I read on Bloomberg that the Oceangate submersible’s “internal pressure remains constant.”, which I interpreted as the submersible doesn’t pressurize like divers as it goes down, it relies on it’s structural strength to uphold the pressure instead of a balanced internal pressure. As the news has reported it was most likely the submersible imploded pretty violently due to a structural failure. I was curious if the submersible was equally pressurized inside, like divers, and had a crack in the structure at the depth of the titanic, would it implode or leak slowly?
