If this accidental implosion worked so well, why not use it purposely?

Also, it seems like a great scifi premise to stir up the kraken/cthulu/hydra.

So - interesting, turns out it is done, and in this very area too. I read the 1960 report of their dive[1], linked to in the parent article. And it talks about "800 TNT explosions" preceding their dive in the Trieste.
