I have real bad claustrophobia, I could never serve on a sub in a million years. What's strange is I have zero fear of heights, but those guys who went on that sub to the Titanic and were crushed? You'd have to kill me to get me on that thing, and even then my corpse would freak out.

When the USS Scorpion was lost in 1968, when she reached crush depth, her reactor and propeller shaft imploded into her bow like a collapsable telescope in about 10-30 milliseconds (I think it was closer to 10 milliseconds)
It was less time than it takes for the human brain to process input from the senses which I believe is about 150 milliseconds tops.
Mercifully, which means they had no idea.

I cannot imagine the sheer terror those guys went through in the moments before they got it controlled.
