I agree that we're talking milliseconds between the first crack and full implosion. Any cracks in carbon fiber will act as a stress concentrator which will cause more cracking in a rapid exponential process. There's a reason everyone else doing this said you can't use that material. Metal has some ductility so a very tiny crack normally won't cascade like that instantly.
