If a submersible were to suffer an implosion at a depth of 3400 meters, the following events would likely occur:
  1. Structural Integrity Failure: An implosion refers to the collapse or rupture of a structure due to external pressure exceeding the internal pressure. At a depth of 3400 meters, the water pressure is immense, exerting about 340 times atmospheric pressure. The submersible's hull and other components would experience extreme stress, potentially leading to structural failure.
  2. Hull Collapse: The hull of the submersible, which is designed to withstand normal operating pressures, would be unable to withstand the increased external pressure. It may deform, buckle, or even collapse entirely. This would result in a breach of the submersible's protective barrier, allowing water to rush in.
  3. Water Ingress: As the hull collapses, the water would rapidly enter the submersible, flooding its interior. The influx of water would increase the pressure inside the vehicle, potentially causing further damage to the structure and making it more susceptible to additional collapse.
  4. Equipment Damage: The submersible's electronic systems, controls, and other delicate equipment would likely be compromised by the implosion and subsequent water ingress. The forceful entry of water may cause short circuits, corrosion, or complete malfunction of critical systems, rendering the submersible inoperable.
  5. Loss of Life Support: With the submersible's interior flooded and damaged, life support systems such as oxygen supply, temperature control, and CO2 removal would cease to function. This would put any occupants at immediate risk of asphyxiation or exposure to extreme temperatures.
  6. Rapid Descent: Depending on the severity of the implosion and subsequent collapse, the submersible may experience a rapid descent towards the ocean floor due to the sudden increase in density. The descent could be uncontrolled, further exacerbating the damage to the submersible and endangering any occupants.
  7. Potential Loss of Communication: As the submersible sustains damage, its communication systems may also fail, making it difficult for the occupants to establish contact with the surface or other rescue teams. This would hinder any potential rescue efforts and further isolate the occupants.
  8. Survival Challenges: In such a scenario, the occupants would face an immediate threat to their lives. They would need to rely on emergency procedures, such as donning emergency breathing apparatuses, attempting to seal breaches, or finding alternative means of escape, if possible. The extreme depths and compromised conditions would make survival highly challenging.

After days of a frantic search for the Oceangate submersible near the wreckage of the Titanic, authorities say that the search is now over. According to the Coastguard the submersible suffered an catstrophic implosion during it's descent, causing the vessel to implode and killing all passengers instantly.
