The sub wasn't steel, it was a carbon fibre weave. The tiniest crack would have caused catastrophic shattering of the hull.
For every ten meters of descent, pressure increases by 1 atmosphere. At 4000 meters, that's 400 atm, or ~40 Mega Pascals, which is significantly higher than the pressure caused by the bomb that leveled a building in Oklahoma.
The hull shattered catastrophically, and the pressure wave liquified the occupants instantly. It's horrifying, but at least it was painless.

(Even if we forget about the vacuum) Probably the fastest and least painful way to die, short of sitting on a 2000 lb bomb or the like when it goes off.
