This guy also points out that the depths the sub is reporting don't line up with the expected depth at that time. Neither the sub nor the surface vessel seem concerned that they're sinking faster than they are supposed to. This sub made 13 successful dives before this one, and so I imagine this would be seen as an unusual dive speed. You would think that some corrective action or an abort would be attempted, even before the RTM system started alarming, but maybe I'm giving the crew a bit too much credit here.

Giving this outfit
any credit is giving them too much credit.
