‘Catastrophic’: Missing Titanic sub likely imploded, killing crew

Al Jazeera  

Five people on board ‘lost’, company says, as debris of missing submersible found near bow of Titanic on sea floor. The Titan submersible that has been missing for days in the Atlantic Ocean with five men on board suffered a “catastrophic loss” consistent with the implosion of the vessel, the United States Coast Guard has said. Mauger said during Thursday’s news conference that an ROV first found the tail cone of the sub about 500 metres from the bow of the Titanic and later discovered five major pieces consistent with a “catastrophic loss of the pressure” in the vessel. He said the Titan’s implosion would have produced a “significant broadband sound” that sonar buoys used by search crews would have picked up. The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press have since quoted unnamed officials in the US Navy saying the agency’s underwater sound monitoring equipment had indeed detected an “anomaly” shortly after Titan disappeared on Sunday.
