Incase anyone is wondering... Little clip of an implosion
RIP to those who parished. I think most can take solace knowing that if it turns out to be true that it was an implosion, it would have been instant, and the occupants likely felt nothing. .
For others confused like me, this is a clip of some random implosion somewhere else, not the clip of the submersible imploding
*perished
Read over on Reddit that an implosion would have taken 0.029 seconds, while the brain needs 0.150 seconds to register stuff.
Don't quote me on the actual numbers, though.
I think it is from here:

unless of course there was some creaking and cracking noises first, then maybe a little spray of water.
That deep? I doubt it
At that depth, I feel like creaking and cracking is probably common. However, I don't think there would be any spraying as an indicator. Based on this tweet I saw earlier.
Yeah but they had to get to that depth. With the pressure gradually increasing, I don't see why it's not possible for them to hear creaking and groaning as the pressure increased, until they eventually reached fatal depth.
Glad they didn't have to suffer
