"We do know" ... Department store seperated ?

Not sunk  (it says that too)

Plunging into the abyss never to be seen again -- no light, no power or heat, icy water virtually exploding in through the severed passageways and utility conduits, until the whole building was crushed like an eggshell by 3000+ feet of water pressing in from every direction (100 atmospheres of pressure). The muffled distroted screams lasting mere moments before the place became  a dark cold watery tomb.
