Perhaps your common sense should lead you to design sketches of the Titan? With those you will discover that there is a "pressure hull" where the human and most of the electronics ride. There are also parts of the Titan that occupy space outside of the pressure hull because the extreme pressure does not affect those parts. Most, if not all of the pieces shown in the photos were mounted outside of the pressure hull and are not affected by the implosion except to be no longer mounted to the pressure hull. Check this vid of an implosion: https://youtu.be/Zz95_VvTxZM Notice how the undercarriage is barely affected by the implosion yet the tank is destroyed? Common sense is good, but only if'n it makes sense.
More likely it was a poor design. Nearly every pressure hull made for extreme depths are spherical. The exceptions tend to be Navy or govt built/backed subs with huge budgets. According to the Titan website their sub was mathematically rated for 4000 meters deep. Titanic rests at 4000 meters deep. They were pushing their luck. Personally I'd want a sub rated and tested for 6000-8000 meters deep even if I only planned to go to 4000 meters.
