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)

Less than 4 milliseconds. They didn’t feel a thing.

To add context here, it takes your brain somewhere around 100ms to detect and then another 250 to process pain. So 4ms is not only fast, it's absurdly fast.

To get a sense of how fast it is, go ahead and stub your toe, the time it took to feel it is 100 times longer.

I just take solace in the fact that they probably just snapped out of existence instead of having to slowly die in a dark tube over a few days.

I had seen a comment saying human to salsa in 4 milliseconds. ಠ_ಠ
