Yes, and since there was no non-routine message before communication was lost (right?), it seems at least possible that the occupants might have had no pre-warning that anything was wrong.

In other words, it is possible that they died instantly, without having the slightest idea that anything was happening - their last thought being "this is going great, in another hour we'll be at the Tita---".

Like dying in your sleep. Which is, I'd think, the exit many of us would choose.

That's how I'm going to imagine things.

My impression, from very little reading, is that an implosion at say half the depth of the Titanic would leave no effectively human remains to recover.
