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?
The air (Oxygen specifically), and fuel source, in this case humans, would react much like a large diesel engine combustion chamber. The massive pressure wave from the implosion would cause a brief but incredibly powerful explosion from the auto ignition of fuel and oxygen.
I found this on tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@starfieldstudio/video/7247335287162998059
Is this accurate? I’m asking folks who know about this stuff btw lol I’m clueless but I’ll tell you one thing I’d rather just go that way than suffocate
Reading other accounts, if even the smallest crack occurred it would be over in a nanosecond and it was. Less time than the human body can process. They never knew they were in trouble or what hit them. Literally instant death. Like stepping on an ant.
Wouldn’t there be buckling or something, creaking just beforehand that they would’ve heard or seen? Apparently there were sensors that would set off an alarm before an implosion, which is why they think they may have tried to ascend and dropped the landing frame. Speculation of course, just going by what James Cameron said.
There was a week spot in the hull, and it finally gave way after many dives. It’s very possible noises from stress on the hull and even a leak ws occurring,,so they may have been aware of their fate momentarily before forces hit them like standing next to larger bomb. It was probably a partial hull crushing in and water coming in behind instantaneously.
We know it imploded and they didn’t drown from a slow leak or the vessel would probably be intact.
They were dead in less than a second when 6000 psi crushes you into mush.

Okay here is my humble question.. I know the actual implosion is instant/they cannot feel it. However, would they have heard the hull creaking before the actual implosion? Like an initial creaking/compression before the implode. And would they have heard a sound with enough time to process a noise before the implosion? Thanks
Apparently there are some tiktok videos going around explaining what the implosion might have looked like. It helps me to visualize what happened. Watch the videos and tell me what you think might be left of the bodies. https://nypost.com/2023/06/22/tiktok-videos-depict-what-may-have-happened-during-titanic-subs-catastrophic-implosion/amp/
People forget that it’s not just the sub imploding…..it’s your body also. You would twist up into a meatbag.
You disintergrate at that pressure. Everything collapses.
There would only be small bits of fish food left.
