When you are in a "try not to laugh" competition and your enemy is footage of billionaires brutally dying in an submarine implosion.

    It was probably instant, not brutal

    Unconfirmed from official sources, but they might have known something was wrong for 15+ mins.

    Unlikely. At that insane pressure, the hull is either completely intact, or, once moving, completely imploding in a fraction of human reaction time. We're talking about time frames of a millisecond. They couldn't possibly have seen it coming. One moment you're alive and well, the next moment your body is nothing more than paste.

    The only evidence for them to legitimately worry about would have been from knowledge about any kind of sketchy practices and/or material choices during the building process.

    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.
