I was thinking, there was oxygen on board, but looking at the schematic, I think the oxygen was outside of the carbon tube in the tail section. During the implosion, the fittings into the cabin were separated and the escaping oxygen most likely shot that tank into the great unknown. (If the escaping pressure were greater than the sea pressure)
My point, I see an instance where there COULD have been an explosion, but just as likely, no explosion.
Also, I wonder how much air eventually rose to the surface - would it have been enough to make a bubble that could have been seen topside?
