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.

Sorta kinda yeah. There’s one video where Rush is recoding a test dive or some shit and you can hear constant creaking throughout the ‘sub’ and feel his uneasiness. However there’s no actual ‘black box’ device in the sense of hearing what all went down that day in the cabin. Instead it’s a clip of his wife and support team above water staring at the monitor trying to contact them when all of a sudden you hear a faint “bloop” or “bang” come from the subs coms. One of the guys looks over at his wife and you can tell he knows what happened.

Edit: I don’t think they were trying to contacting them, just talking to each other where they should be at sea level wise.

Oh, good call on that video.

For others who might be interested; it's just after 1:18 in the video I've linked below.

The 2 guys definitely knew what just happened. I think Wendy Rush hadn't quite processed it properly, or she was just in denial.

The two guys immediately knew. The one guy walked right out of the room, thinking: fuck.
