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….

The pressure in deep water, especially at the depth of the Titanic, is immense. The water pressure down there is 6000 PSI, equivalent to 35 elephants on your shoulders.

So if that hull were to be compromised, imagine you’re holding an egg and squeeze really hard. Just like that. Nobody would have time to feel anything. They would be crushed in a fraction of a second.
