The implosion of the Titan submarine (OceanGate) was so rapid that the pain wasn't even registered by the brain. They didn't feel anything at all. Utterly instantaneous.

I still have a morbid curiosity to know WHAT human remains they recovered. Like I know it was supposedly bone fragments, but I want to see what state they were in.

You can see the state of the pieces they recovered, and how some things were like compressed, some were flayed out, etc.

It would be a fine red paste. The forces involved are like having a battleship dropped on your head.

If I remember correctly I believe they retrieved a sleeve or section of sleeve off Stocktons jumper(some identifying tag was on it) with some biological matter (probably a jelly like substance with bone fragments) imbedded in it. If anything that would be recognizable, my guess would be teeth and bone fragments and bits of fabric.

The simulation shows that they were compressed so rapidly that it caused an explosion, but the explosion itself quickly was overcome by water pressure yet again. There could only be small pieces left. Very small.
