I think I’d rather implode and go instantly, than be floating on the surface for 4 days and unable to get out while slowly suffocating.

Neither is my idea of a good time…

Can they not open a hatch if it's on the surface?

Water would be a problem still, but not suffocation, if so.

Nope. The hatch is bolted from the outside. They can’t do anything from the inside and are utterly dependent on someone outside with a power socket wrench to unscrew each of the 17 bolts holding the hatch on.

There are some design flaws with this thing.

Nope, the ends are bolted on from the outside before they depart.
