    I read that from the compression the air ignites so they probably burnt to ashes in milliseconds.
    But I might got it wrong.

      I don’t know if that kind of temperature lasts more than microseconds, so that might not be enough time for much combustion to happen.

      In any case, the forces from a 300 atm pressure differential would mash the people to goo in the blink of an eye. Like being inside an exploding bomb. Except exploding in. They’re fish food.

      EDIT: There are reports that the Coast Guard recovered “presumed human remains”.

      What could possibly be left of them after that implosion?

        Bone fragments, ligaments, and any other tissues that deal with compression and torsion.
