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)

“Rushing” implies something like a wave. The thing crushed flat like the plastic tube it was, and would have done so too fast to even visually track.
If you were to slowly lower an open glass into the ocean, it would gradually fill with water. So i just think its the same with the sub, albeit faster?
Sure, but “faster” here means around the speed of sound, and that’s fundamentally a different thing from the playful streams we’re used to. The thing was waaay down there when it went.
If there was a tiny little hole somewhere that wasn’t getting larger, maybe it would slow down enough to just gradually fill the vessel. In that case, though, it would not have imploded. They found it in pieces and the US Navy heard the pop.
Yeah I guess if you think of the fact it actually went ‘boom’ you can imagine the water didnt really flow in but rather flew in very fast. There was probably a huge shockwave that killed them instantly
