Wow....I can't imagine how terrified they must have been. If the sub was destroyed I hope it was quick for them.

I think if the sub was destroyed, it was definitely quick for them.

Article says it carries 4 days of life support and oxygen on board so there's still some chance they're okay. Maybe rescuable, one hopes.

Suddenly losing contact usually implied catastrophic failure.. that would be the preferable scenario in my opinion.
