the Thresher likely imploded after sinking to 2400 feet, "the water-ram produced by the initial breaching of the Thresher's pressure hull at 2,400 feet entered the pressure hull with a velocity of about 2,600 mph"
129 crew died, it was the worst submarine disaster in history (also the first nuclear submarine to have sunk).
