Surprised it’s not completely imploded, flattened and twisted up

Most likely fully flooded, or she would have been crushed

“Surprised it’s not completely imploded, flattened and twisted up”

She flooded on the way down, so there was minimal differential pressure across the hull...at least not enough to cause an implosion. Any isolated compartments inside would have collapsed, as internal bulkheads are not designed to withstand that kind of pressure.

Hull breach allowed the pressure to equalize going down.
