Very true DI. I also believe most of the crush depths were conservative estimates. Based on models is one thing and actually doing it can produce different outcomes. Models base the structrual integrity as constant were the real vessel might have structrual deficiency do to poor workmenship, etc. But I agree that the vessel should slowly lose intergrity and not crush like a beer can on a frat brothers head in under 2 seconds.
