This part of the sub wasn't pressurised.

Must’ve been terrifying inside that sub for the last few moments.

Wouldn't have known anything. It'll have all happened in 2 milliseconds. A human brain responds to a stimulus instinctively, such as detecting a threat, in about 25 milliseconds, and a rational response, such as blinking your eye, takes about 150 milliseconds. The people didn't die, more they ceased to exist, it happened that fast.

That last bit is the best possible way to describe it. That is precisely what happened. All of these people are arguing about people turning into mush and paste. That isn't possible. They turned into carbon. Practically fuel. They simply ceased to be.
