    It's far more likely that the carbon fiber hull tore and ruptured, or the seals broke catastrophically. They're incredibly dead.

      From what I've read, they would have heard an instantaneous implosion on the boat because the energy released would have been immense and sound travels very well through water.

        Were they listening though? I feel you, but there is reason to doubt that that sort of corner wasn't cut as well.

        There's this youtube channel that does underwater sounds and submarine tracking. They had the sound of the Kursk imploding and it was creepy AF.
