What Happens When a Submarine Implodes
A submarine implosion sounds terrifying, but what does actually happen during a submarine implosion?
One of the scariest thoughts is to imagine yourself inside a submarine that is sinking uncontrollably. You likely know that given sufficient depth, the vessel will implode due to the increasing pressure exerted by the surrounding water.
That said, I was shocked when I learned more about what actually happens when a submarine or any submersible reaches its maximum operating depth also known as its “crush depth”.

Interesting video overall, but doesn’t actually explain what really happens other than an instantaneous collapse of the weakest part of the structure arising from a result similar to diesel engine ignition, with hydrocarbons in the air that could ignite, and all that entails on anything present.
The crew would not have consciously experienced It, according to the video, but I don’t hold the same view.
I guess the atmosphere was of intense anxiety.
