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)

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.
