I remember an awkward TED interview with Victor Vescovo when he was talking about being in a submersible miles down and what could go wrong in such situation's. He made a good point: those kind of situation's, when something goes wrong, you wouldn't even know it.

I was wondering what that imploding sub would feel like. Would you register it at all.

No. Happens so fast that by the time the pain impulses reach the brain there's no longer a brain there to receive them.

Unlikely. Over in less than a second. Pop! You are cooked goop.

Eh not necessarily. If the floatation system fails you might slowly suffocate at the bottom of the sea.

The majority of any given point in the world’s oceans are deeper than the crush depth of any submarine. Submersibles, not so much (modulo Oceangate’s).

Unless you're over deep enough ocean to be crushed.

I don't know what's worse: a gradual realisation that there's going to be nothing that anyone can do to prevent your sudden, violent death or a gradual realisation that you're going to be slowly asphyxiated.

Most subs, most oceans, the bottom is far beyond crush depth.
