Part of that is nonsense: there's no reason to think an electric sub would have hydrocarbon vapors.

It is true that the air would dramatically increase in temperature due to compression. But the total heat energy of that wouldn't be high enough to burn the bodies completely. More likely the mechanical forces of the implosion would have shredded them.

Finally some sense on this topic! And even if the heat was high enough, the rate of heat transfer was definitely not.

Their hair may have been singed… but they were certainly not cooked unless they were in a pocket of air that didn’t get mixed with water for seconds-minutes. On a navy sub, maybe. This tiny thing that blew into two pieces.. unlikely.

You'd think just pointing out that they were utterly crushed by a ~10,000 psi wall of water moving inwards at multiple times the speed of sound with the total energy of hundreds of kg of TNT would be sensational enough.

You’d think the sub implosion would get people’s attention, but they had a lot on their minds.
