All 5 members of submersible tourist craft are dead.

RIP

Craft imploded. Article above is about Navy hearing it when it happened.

Implosion would not have been my first thought about how it went down. Caught on debris, electrical failure or a small leak that flooded the craft would have been my fist guesses.
The thing is, at that depth, a small leak means instant decompression of the sub. There is no small leak when you're talking about thousands of pounds of pressure per SQUARE INCH. As soon as the craft lost internal pressure at those depths, it was immediately crushed, and the internal temperatures likely rose by incredible amounts instantly.
