whenever there is something deep underwater like a submarine why does eventually the glass start breaking and why does water kinda lift things up for that matter?

Everyone was asking this after the Titanic submersible disaster.
One person said to imagine you’re holding a bucket of water on top of your head. It’s pretty heavy.
Now imagine that the bucket is 5 miles tall and filled with water. Now it’s extremely heavy.
Have you ever dug yourself into sand? You can feel the weight of the sand on you. More sand more pressure. This is what happens with water as well.
Water is heavy. The deeper you go, the more water pushing in on you. I love it, scuba diving is like being squished by the ocean. It’s my zen.
