The corpses will literally be sandwiched between what is left of the sub. I imagine the end caps will still be intact however.
Titanic submersible confirmed destroyed with loss of all five souls onboard.

I am well out of my limited technical comfort zone here, but if asked I'd say an IMplosion of a sealed near cylindrical hollow object due to external immense but even pressure would result in a different damage scenario to an EXplosion from internal pressure within such an object with atmospheric pressure around it? Feeling shaky about this, maybe I need to Google...
My understanding from earlier was instant incineration from the compression of the air around them spontaneously igniting.
I doubt there is much left to be classified as a corpse. I'd imagine we are talking remnants of DNA.

That's that then it seems if confirmed. Better for the families than never knowing.

Basically like sitting inside a diesel engine cylinder as the piston is about to go up. Pretty grim but a lot better than dying from cancer really.

Yes just like the bell incident. Their blood would have boiled instantly at the moment of compression.

At 3800m the pressure on the hull is about 2.5 tonnes per square inch... Doubt very much will be left in a recognisable form
So many theories but the anguish for the families will remain as the media carries on with their ideas and search team their strategies.

That is difficult to be honest. Not saying i do not see where you are coming from but then what about mountaineers.......... or skydivers......... or scuba divers, people who go caving or what ever it is called?
i assume you draw a line somewhere and not just literally take - if it is non essential and purely recreational but risky you are totally on your own.
yes going to the titanic is extreme. personally i think the travellers themselves putting a significant chunk of change down to put to the rescue effort in advance, refundable on safe return would at least help cover the cost.

Sky news live commentary with experts with oceangate experience:

Guy in blue confirms that oceangate chose to not get certified because they were operating in intentional waters so there's no law. But the USCG would not allow them to operate in US waters as a result.

In the fields you mention, the equipment used has to be approved and maintained to set standards and the personnel involved have to achieve the required level of certification.
In Ocean Quest’s case, it seems that the CEO and his team CBA’d with any of that safety malarkey.
NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama helped build lost Titanic submersible
Titan, the submersible craft that went missing with its crew Saturday near the site of the sunken Titanic, was developed with the help of engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
