Guillermo Sohnlein said the group may have extended their life support supplies by "relaxing as much as possible."

Ah yes, the sweet relaxation of slow death. Not that they would have had much time to relax anyway, if the debris field is the remains of their vessel.

It would suck if they saw it coming, like slow leaks in the cabin or a crack forming in the view port... they would not have had to worry about it for long but they still may have had time to panic which would be quite shiddy

slow leaks in the cabin or a crack forming

That doesn't happen at that pressure. If something is wrong it just gets completely squished in milliseconds.

Basically imagine a super strong pressure washer, but the water is not just a very thin jet, but instead everything around you.
