The last communication with the sub was that they were descending too fast. Could they have hit the floor too hard?

it does not need to be a massive hull failure. It would just as likely to spring a leak. it would take a while to fill with water and pressure but the result is the same, but no big bang to hear on the hydrophones.
There is no such thing as a "springing a leak" on a submerged submarine at those pressures.I'm no expert, but with the craft we're talking about and the depth/pressure involved, any hull compromise is likely to be almost instantly catastrophic.
No really I wouldn't be surprised. I know what a 6,000 PSI pressure washer does.There is no such thing as a "springing a leak" on a submerged submarine at those pressures.
I saw a Zerk Fitting break off on a internal to external hull greasing manifold at 300 feet. It is amazing what a dumb ass NUB can do with a grease gun.
You would be surprised how much water can come through a 1/4 inch grease line @ 300 Ft. in the 30 seconds or so it took to locate and isolate the leak.
Pretty sure drilling an air hole through carbon fibre is not that hard. Same with plexiglass.
Not that much recognizable to find.They are being honest, there is low chances of recovering remains.
Again, the premise was there was no way to extract the people from the sub at sea level unless it is hauled out of water. And I just said you can drill air hole and wait for ship. Even if you crack the vessel open they can wait for rescue.I believe that because the curved CF hull is "stressed" using a normal drill would cause the hull to crack/splinter.
I saw an interview with Josh Gates (Unexplored, ect.). They tried to set up a shoot with these people back in 2019. They had all kinds of problems, they backed out of doing the shoot because they couldn't rely on them to set up a schedule.I think the implosion happened shortly at the 1hr 30 min mark after they lost comms. The mother ship probably thought nothing of it as time went on because in previous expeditions the sub would always lose contact with communication.
It's like this CEO didn't use common science hypothesis and testing at all designing this thing. The viewport window and hull didn't get any stress testing. It had done dives previously so you have to take into account wear and tear.
I feel bad for that 19 year old kid and his mother.

Yes I'm trying to picture a 15 psi to 6,000 PSI event over the course of a few milliseconds. It just doesn't paint a pretty picture.Not that much recognizable to find.

I've been told you basically incinerate in the pressure collapse is instant.Yes I'm trying to picture a 15 psi to 6,000 PSI event over the course of a few milliseconds. It just doesn't paint a pretty picture.
It's like dropping an egg from a 10th floor roof and saying the yolk will be okay.
this somehow reminds me of an explanation i saw in a video about the asteroid that hit the yucatan 66m years ago and wiped away the dinosaurs; specifically how in movies you would see the slow, gigantic explosion in the distance, while in reality is more like "lovely summer morning, blink eyes - pulverized".The crew were dead before they could even say "oh crap". At 400 times the pressure at sea level, it takes literally milliseconds for implosion to happen. They may have heard a faint pop or similar sound but they probably all perished as soon as that sound happened.
