James Cameron has been giving various interviews where he speculates they probably audibly heard the delamination occurring with enough time to cause them to drop the weights and try to abort based on what he's hearing from people in the know within the circle of deep sea explorers involved in the search and rescue.
None of this validates using the audio sensor as a warning system because whether you have milliseconds or as much as a couple of minutes warning prior to rapid decompression makes no difference at the depth it occurred, but it does suggest the passengers knew they were doomed prior to the actual decompression.
- sangnoir 3y ago> [...]minutes warning prior to rapid decompression Do you mean rapid compression (i e. implosion)? The internal pressure in such subs is kept at roughly 1 atmosphere at all depths. The massive pressure difference at depth is why hull integrity is of the utmost importance, if it's compromised, things go south rapidly.
