A debris field has been discovered within the search area by a remotely operated underwater vehicle near the Titanic, the US Coast Guard has said.

The US Coast Guard had predicted that the air supply in the vessel would run out at 12.08pm UK time on Thursday.

It disappeared on Sunday in the Atlantic Ocean, some 435 miles south of Newfoundland, Canada, during an expedition dive to see the wreck of the Titanic.

Ships, planes and underwater craft from multiple countries were deployed to the area with rescuers searching a remote part of the Atlantic Ocean more than twice the size of the US state of Connecticut in waters as deep as 4,020m (13,200ft).

It’s gone, along with all aboard. RIP.

Navy and sea types, that would mean an implosion, correct?

[Revolutionary]

Imploded??

[Red Badger]

It would seem so..................

[ArtDodger]

Imploded, and at the speed of sound.

[Red Badger]

They did not suffer...................

Sad, but they did not suffer......................

Carbon Fiber is unpredictable when
It fractures.

The pressure at 12,500 ft deep is about 5,800 psi.

I think that “implosion” is also called “crushed” by the pressure of diving too deep. I had read an article that stated the latest test of its maximum safe depth was about 3,000 meters, 800 meters short of where the Titanic rests.

[MachIV]

Agreed.

They’re sleeping with the fishes. What a bunch of idiots. You couldn’t pay me a trillion dollars to be bolted into that coffin.

[Gay State Conservative]

Who wouldda thunk it?

[tired&retired]

I understand their window was only good to 6,000 ft deep.

I watched the video of the m manufacturing the hull. It apparently had no inner sleeve of metal that I could see, just the carbon fiber shell.................

[CivilWarBrewing]

Not necessarily. If an oxygen tank explodes, or lets say the oxygen system malfunctions as in the Apollo disaster I believe it would FIRST explode THEN implode, both occurring within less than a second.

They're dead, Jim.

[No name given]

That goes double for me.

[PUGACHEV]

Apparently, from what I have read, the wound carbon fiber hull would simply shatter without warning, making an implosion even quicker.
