I believe what this user is referencing is the fact that they had sensors all throughout the carbon fibre hull to detect issues. So there could have been an "oh fuck" period before the instantaneous implosion.

iirc the guy that got fired for pointing out problems said, that the system might only provide a warning miliseconds before the ~~ex~~ implosion.
