How fast did the people in it die?

Of course once the sub filled with water they would die instantly because it would reach insane pressures (300-400 ATM or 5800 PSI)

    The primary cause I’m hearing is the window. It was rated for a dive depth of 1500m, and the sub would routinely dive to 4000m.

      I also heard the carbon fiber skin wasn’t appropriate for so many massive pressure changes it underwent with each dove.
