The air inside the pressure hull has been under one atmophere pressure before the implosion, During the implosion it would undergo instantaneous adiabatic compression until its pressure equals the pressure of water outside. In this case the pressure outside is 400 atmophere..
That’s a compression ratio of 400:1.
To put that into perspective, the people inside rhe Titan submersible were compressed 20 times more than they would be if they were inside the cylinders of a giant running diesel engine, compressing the diesel fuel air mixture until it detonated.
Even though the seawater coming in is nearly freezing, The process would have been so quick, that their bodies would have been instantly heated to thousands of degrees and would be completely incinerated before the heat would have the time to be dissipated by contact with the cold sea water.
Nasty, but probably very quick, unlikely they would have had time to feel anything
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
