Mr Snuggles - thank you for posting link to hi-res pics. From the apparent concave folding of the skin, the pressure hull was probably intact on entering the water (otherwise the water pressure would equalise inside and out). The hull probably broke on contact with the sea floor or perhaps on the way down (if the water was stratified, on encountering layers of different density)?
