I was watching a documentary about the sinking of nuclear submarine USS Thresher. When it sunk, it blew up, why was that? Shouldn’t it just crush under the extreme pressure at that depth (of over 1300 feet)
I don’t find any info on the internet about it

“It was believed at the time that Thresher likely imploded at a depth of 400–610 m (1,300–2,000 ft), though 2013 acoustic analysis concluded implosion occurred at 730 meters.[28]”. Straight from Wikipedia.
