I've read somewhere that the crew dies in a fraction of a second.
Because of the extreme pressure of the water the air inside the sub gets pressurized immediatly and the temperature of this air can reach over a 1000 ° celcius. (for a very short period of time offcourse)
So it's the heat that kill's the crew in the blink of an eye.
Much better than drowning i guess...
