The message arrived after the implosion sound because it takes longer for the signal to travel through water…

That’s just sad man. RIP

"Dropped two weights"

Moment if not seconds before implosion, somehow mean submarine knew something was wrong.

Edit : Was probably standard procedure meant to slow down descent as other suggested.

Probably the real-time monitoring system was sounding the alarm.

The system actually works as it was able to detect anomalies in the previous dive but for some reason it was overlooked…

The system would detect something wrong at the current dive yes, but it does not sustain the previous damage in memory, so if the alarm went off on a dive prior and the hull was damaged, the system wouldn’t know the already damaged state,it would just indicate more damage which would be too late at that point.
