Well, for a start, the coy's CEO surname is "Rush"....
From the looks of things, he seems to be in a hurry to get more rich client to sign on to his US$250,000 per ride to the Titanic wreck.
History has shown "rushing" in marine business can be dangerous...just like the Titanic that sunk rushing thru an ice-berg zone to to break record.

This is interesting - did the Titan owner conduct similar pressure test on their carbon-fiber cylindrical main hull ?

What you are showing is implosion at sea level for steel not submerged in deep waters which have enormous pressure exerted from all directions. The Titan sub with mainly carbon fibre hull with titanium end caps would be much worse as it would both implode and shatter into pieces with all occupants GG, which is why this material, despite its superior strength was never used in any deep-sea subs which can be certified.
For well-tested steel or titanium, once the structure cannot take it, you can likely start to see sections being deformed with possible time to react to surface up. For carbon fibre, once it crack, will jitao burst within within milliseconds with all the water rushing it, jitao hong kanz.

That is a demonstration of how a structural failure of a metal tank will be like.
Since pressure is relative, the outcome remains the same with rapid structural collapse.
What u have rightly pointed out is the use of non-metal carbon-fibre which unlike metal, will basically shatter rather than bent like the tank demo has shown.

Two disparate materials, a recipe for disaster
The fibre may disintegrate into strings, like vermicelli
The titatium will be like shattered rocks and sand and pebbles of all sizes, I guess
Recovered pieces from the imploded sub so far not like shattered like leh..
