At that depth the implosion reportedly also would've happened so fast that you're already disintegrated before your body has time to experience pain.

One thing I seen said at those depths implosion happens at about 1500 mph. The doctor on CNN said that it would happen faster then your brain would be able to register pain.

People see someone with an ivy league degree and all common sense goes out the window. They automatically assume they are in safe hands and don't question the most basic things.
See this shhh all the time

Don't think they had a device that can go that deep into the ocean to discover it available till today.
East Aurora-based Pelagic Research gear, crew find Titan submersible
An East Aurora company's deep sea unmanned vessel found a debris field not far from the Titanic, where the submersible was headed.

Such a sad yet ridiculous situation. I guess the biggest questions I have are 1 - will OceanGate shut down? (I'm gonna guess yes) and 2 - will there be criminal charges made against the company?

1. YES
2. I say MAYBE, it seems that the company (Rush) disclosed a lot via paper and lied off of it (I have yet to see any proof of the claims they say Rush made that were misleading)

makes sense, if James came out and said "you're wasting your time they are already dead." everyone would have taken that as gospel.

I still can’t wrap my head around folks seeing **** like this, and then willingly signing themselves up to go to the depths of the ocean in it.
The questionable choices and lack of judgment from every party involved in this (minus the teenager) are truly wild.

Have they published images of the debris?

The thing is, the folks who decided to sign up for these voyages (the ones that were previously successful and this one) weren't privy to the fact that hand ratchets or low-grade materials were used. These things typically don't reveal themselves until catastrophic events when everyone takes a deeper look. It's not really fair to say "See! They should have known!" because really only manufacturer's, in this case Rush, know that level of detail but even then he was able to pull this off successfully so that assuages the concerns of potential customers.
I am not familiar with the structure or the materials but as a few in here have mentioned, it was probably due to fatigue and damage from repeated missions. It's compounded if he was using the same vessel for missions of varying durations and the mission specifics not being repeatable/the same which makes it more difficult to accurately predict failure anyway. The calculation (CALCULATION, NOT EVEN TEST!!) about the remaining air was probably off as well.
