I watched the video in the article. I don't think I'd be comfortable submerging at all in that thing, let alone all the way down to the Titanic. I hope they've had technical issues, blown the ballast and is floating around somewhere waiting to be spotted.
Personally I think the best case scenario is for it to have imploded and they all died instantly. Any other option seems like torture to me.
Surely the best case scenario is that they're floating around on the surface somewhere. Unless you expect that means an inevitable slow death from thirst and hunger...
Floating on the surface is only barely better than stranded deep underwater, there's no hatch for them to open so they'll still be limited by oxygen and there's no locator beacon that might help rescuers find them.
