    It’s kind of surprising since the way it was explained to me, no remains could…well “remain” given the pressure at that depth. I know how morbid it sounds, but strictly speaking I would be interesting to know which “parts” remained/they found that could’ve withstood that.

      I mean most of the body is water, which will withstand any pressure in the ocean.

      I’d assume that a body slowly dropped to that depth would remain mostly intact.
      The Speed at which everything happened makes it much more difficult. How quickly did the hull collapse, how quickly did the air in the submarine compress, did that pressure have time to equalize in the bodies as well?
