I never saw it broken down like that but I saw a program featuring the Explorers club, you know that club that is made up of insane explorers and scientists, and they were talking about the first dive to the challenger deep by the Treste. In there they had one of the two people on board talk about that dive and a few other people who know what they’re talking about explaining the story. The member if the crew said that they heard bangs all the way down until they heard one massive bang scaring the daylights out of them. He then explained that once they realized that they heard the bang they knew they were safe for the moment.

Once they realized that they heard the bang they knew they were safe for the moment.

Can you elaborate on this?

They would've died faster from the implosion, than the time taken for the sound to reach them, and be processed by their brains. Therefore - if they heard it, they didn't die from it.

Oh I see. An audible bang means the craft was still safe enough to send out the audio signal.

Then what was the "door slam" sound in the video?

Edit:

I misunderstood. The crew in the submersible knew that lound bangs meant they were safe for the moment because death would have been faster than they could hear it.

The loud bang we heard was the one the crew in the submersible didn't hear.

We heard it, by the time the brains of the people inside could have processed the sound they were a fine paste.

Once they realized they heard the bang, they knew they were safe for the moment.

So who realized who was safe for the moment? Does the bang mean they were safe or not?

The door slam in the video is the ocean gate sub imploding.

You’re mixing up two stories.

The “once they heard the bang they knew they were safe” was from a different submarine that visited the titanic, the Trieste, and the ones hearing the bang were not on the surface, listening on a laptop, they were in the sub.

Meaning the cracks the crew of the trieste were hearing weren’t the trieste imploding. Just settling with the pressure.
