The implosion is much faster. The people aboard were dead before their brains could have processed the information that the submersible had imploded. Death can hardly come faster than this.



There are public pictures around of the recovered submersible parts being unloaded in St. Jons, Canada, for example in this article

or this video




It's easy to see that the recovered parts are elements from the bow and the aft of the submersible. Those parts were made of titanium, and considering what has happened they are surprisingly intact.
The carbon fiber "tube", the main section, is simply gone, it will have broken into thousands of small pieces. Everything inside was then pressed within milliseconds into the titanium parts (especially at the front).

The small transparent section in the bow cupola has been blown out completely (you can see it missing in the pictures), which should give an impression of the force of the pressure. I'd wager a guess that this piece of transparent material (was it made of glass? I don't know) is still in one piece, somewhere on the seabed of the Atlantic.
