It would have been very quick
A doctor has explained what could have happened to the passengers on the Titan submersible when the vessel tragically imploded.
Doctor Molé suggests that the crew would not have realised their were issues and would have been none the wiser to what was happening to them, reports the Mirror. The medical expert suggests that the event would have been violent and instant as high pressure water rushed into and flooded the vessel, tearing apart the hull and crushing the five people onboard.
"At least at the depth of the Titanic, which is 12,500 feet, the external pressure would be 6,000 lbs per square inch. However, after days of searching, any hope the five aboard were alive was slashed early on Thursday as Titan's 96-hour supply of air was expected to run out.

Outlook bleak for passengers on the Titan, despite massive rescue effortTime is quickly running out for five people aboard a missing submersible that lost contact with its mother ship on Sunday as it descended to the wreck of the Titanic. As international search and rescue efforts forge ahead, each passing second makes it less likely that the passengers on the Titan will be found alive as their oxygen supply is expected to run out by Thursday morning. There are several possible outcomes, including that the vessel is found on the surface of the ocean; it is found on the ocean floor; its hull has been breached; or that oxygen will be depleted and the rescue mission turns into a recovery mission.
