Differential Pressure

Would it be fair to say that even a fully intact fuselage would still create a debris field as any area with air pockets would rupture as it sinks when the differential pressure exceeds the design limitations? With a differential pressure limit of around 9 psi + 14.5 psi at sea level, you wouldn't get past a depth of 60ft before areas begin to implode and release contents.
