How fast did the people in it die?

Of course once the sub filled with water they would die instantly because it would reach insane pressures (300-400 ATM or 5800 PSI)

I just take solace in the fact that they probably just snapped out of existence instead of having to slowly die in a dark tube over a few days.

I had seen a comment saying human to salsa in 4 milliseconds. ಠ_ಠ

And because what failed was the carbon fibre composite pressure vessel, it probably didn't even give any warnings to make them worried. It would be like squeezing a glass bottle, everything will be perfectly fine until it just instantly shatters.

Sometimes glass will give a 'click' as a crack starts. Not sure about carbon fibre though.
