ALERT – Despite the wishful thinking and dramatic international rescue effort, the Titanic appears to have now added five new victims to its staggering 111-year-old death toll.
The commercial deep-sea tourist submersible Titan carrying five people on a voyage to the Titanic wreck suffered a “catastrophic implosion” 13,000 feet below the surface of the ocean that killed everyone aboard, U.S. Coast Guard officials say.
A remotely operated vehicle found parts of the sub Thursday about 1,600 feet from the bow of the shipwreck, officials added. (RELATED: Robot Subs Scouring Ocean Floor Find Missing Titanic Sub)
Debris from the Titan submersible, which had been missing since June 18, was detected on June 22 by the robotic diving vehicle deployed from a Canadian ship as part of an international rescue effort.
Remains of the submersible, owned and operated by OceanGate, which lost contact with a surface ship about one hour and 45 minutes into a two-hour descent, were discovered on the seabed, about 2.4 miles below the surface, U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said.
Thankfully, for those onboard the horrible tragedy appears to have occurred extremely quickly.
CNN explains:
What is a catastrophic explosion? An underwater implosion refers to the sudden inward collapse of the vessel. At those depths there is a tremendous amount of pressure on the submersible and even the tiniest structural defect could be disastrous, experts said. At the depths of the Titanic wreck, the implosion would have happened in a fraction of a millisecond. Former naval officer Aileen Marty said the implosion would have happened before anyone “inside would even realize that there was a problem.”
Discovered debris: The remotely operated vehicle found “five different major pieces of debris” from the Titan submersible, according to Paul Hankins, the US Navy’s director of salvage operations and ocean engineering. The debris was “consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber” and, in turn, a “catastrophic implosion,” he said. As of now, there does not appear to be a connection between the banging noises picked up by sonar earlier this week and where the debris was found. So far, they have located the Titan’s nose cone and one end of its pressure hulls in a large debris field, and the other end of the pressure hull in a second, smaller debris field.
The U.S. Navy detected sounds “consistent with an implosion” shortly after OceanGate’s Titan submersible lost contact, a Navy official has said.
The massive, ‘unsinkable’ Titanic sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg, killing over 1,500 passengers and crew. And now, in 2023, the tiny Titan sub has added five more casualties.

So how are the CRIMINALS claiming that they heard sounds of someone banging on the entrance door if the implosion would have happened before anyone realized there was a problem . . . .
It was never confirmed the banging sounds were from the craft. They could have been nearby commercial traffic as well. YOu can’t pinpoint sounds in the ocean at those depths.
The U.S. Navy goes through a verification process to prove and verify that this was the object that MAY have imploded. This takes time.
Id love to see Deep Sea Wrecks BUT have sub with these features:
Escape Pods or module
Pinger
GPS
Seating
Own viewport
Internet acess
CCTV array
Dive Control from Surface or shore
Fwd based rescue subs
Then one can see the Bismarck, Iron Bottom Sound, HMS Prince of Wales WW2
etc.
Then who kept it secret that sub imploded??
Why
Well, I read somewhere that the microphones were a feature of a Navy SECRET program. If this is true, the question becomes instead: why did they reveal it in the end? Possibly to combat a loss of confidence in the Navy?
Non sequitur. Titan’s demise had nothing to do with the sinking of Titanic, that was due to its own inadequacies.
It would seem that carbon fiber (fibre) is not the material of choice for hull construction. And also there seem to have been several unorthodox and likely untested and unvalidated artifacts used as components in the sub.
