I doubt that there were any air pockets in the bow section... it went down first, and slowly at that. the water would've pushed the air out as it flooded and would've been just about empty of air when it submerged. The bow section hit the ocean's bottom at a faster speed than the titanic could sail at full steam... so fast, that the decks compressed and support collumns can be seen in an acute bend, like this: <
...and the bow is under the mud right up 'til just below the anchors on both sides.
also, the air would've been pushed out of the ship before it reached a quater of the way down... the pressure woul've been too much... hence why the stern is all messed up.
Getting back to the bow section, 22knots per hour is about 40.744km/hr. if the titanic's bow lays at about 3.821km below the surface, then it would've taken about 10 minutes for the bow to hit the bottom at full steam, less time if it was travelling at a greater speed.
i'm not sure about the stern. it was in thousands of pieces by the time it hit the bottom...
Also, it takes the submersibals 2 hours to get to the bottom because they weigh nothing compared the titanic, which was 46,000 tonnes, and the sub is full of air.
I hope this helps.

unavoidably the day will come on an identical time because of the fact the sea will by no ability be waiting to take up and then the quantity of atmospheric CO2 will advance. i'm no longer advantageous it particularly is the day. there replaced suited right into a learn out on the 2d exhibiting the fraction of CO2 from burning absorbed by the air while in comparison with the total quantity released has stayed consistent. possibly it particularly is now changing yet i'm going to slump judgment until finally there is greater data.

WHAT HALF IT BROK IN TWO BUT IVE HEARD IT TOOK 6 OR 7 HOURS FOR THE WHOLE THING TO HIT BOTTOM BECAUSE OF THE AIR POCKETS IN BOTH HALVES
