In a press conference on Thursday, Rear Admiral John Mauger of the U.S. Coast Guard said, “The debris field is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel.”
The debris found included parts of the sub’s pressure chamber, including a nose cone and the front and back end of the pressure hull.
The debris field was discovered by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) on the ocean floor about 1,600 feet from the Titanic’s bow, but the debris could not have come from the Titanic itself, according to Mauger.
Mauger said the implosion “would have generated significant broadband sound down there that the sonar buoys would have picked up.”
He stated that they would try to recover the bodies of the passengers but noted the difficulty of such a recovery search.
“This is an incredibly unforgiving environment down there on the sea floor, and the debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel,” Mauger said.
“We’ll continue to work and continue to search the area down there, but I don’t have an answer for prospects at this time,” he added.

OceanGate Expeditions, which operated the Titan, issued a statement acknowledging the deaths of the five passengers of the submersible, which began its descent into the North Atlantic on Sunday to visit the wreck site of the RMS Titanic, but lost contact with the surface less than two hours later.
“We now believe that our CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, have sadly been lost,” the company stated.
OceanGate Expeditions sold seats on the Titan at $250,000 apiece. The vessel was carrying three fee-paying passengers: British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani tycoon Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman. The other two on board were Paul-Henri “PH” Nargeolet, a veteran diver and expert on the Titanic wreck, and Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions.
The U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards deployed ships and planes in an intensive search for the Titan to cover an era that was twice the size of the state of Connecticut. The search was some 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, and 12,000-12,500 ft. below sea level. The rescuers deployed two camera-equipped remote-operated robots that can...

Did the owner find that hull imploding inspirational?

aawww, karma strikes the more money than brains crowd, once again, and we should be all broke up over it because...
There's a reason submarine pressure hulls are made of high tensile steel.
As the ZH article imports, why did .gov wait five days to release news of the implosion sounds picked by one of the most advanced underwater sound monitoring systems devised by man. That system has been in place and upgraded for decades. Its primary use is to monitor for passage of Russian boomer subs running the Greenland/Iceland and Iceland/British Isles gaps.
Couldn't be to take the optics away from the news of the Bribem crime family's ongoing grift could it? Naw, that would NEVER happen in a constitutional republic.

Do I have this straight, the suicidesub was bolted shut from the outside, meaning no one could get out without outside help, the sucidesub implodes under thousands of pounds of pressure per square inch and it is "assumed" everybody died? Really? Has teleportation been perfected and no one told ME?
