depending on the failure type (shear, compression, tension) carbon fiber behaves differently. but when the fibers actually break it pops so quickly that it exceeds human perception.

when compressed along an axis that's not properly reinforced by carbon fibers, it will just disintegrate: https://youtu.be/BaSXRoD2xaQ?t=61
