Debris has been found in the search for the missing Titan submersible, reportedly including parts of its outside cover. Dive expert David Mearns told the BBC the president of the Explorers Club - which is connected to the diving and rescue community - says the debris includes "a landing frame and a rear cover from the submersible". The US Coast Guard earlier confirmed a "debris field" had been found within the search area. It was located by a remote-controlled underwater search vehicle (ROV) near the wreck of the Titanic. A US Coast Guard news conference is scheduled for 1500 EST (1900 GMT) on Thursday afternoon. The Titan vessel went missing in a remote area of the North Atlantic on Sunday with a four-day oxygen supply for its crew of five.
Some experts have speculated that it could have suffered a catastrophic implosion as a result of a hull failure. The minivan-sized submersible was owned and operated by the private company OceanGate Expeditions. The firm's co-founder, Guillermo Söhnlein, told the BBC that he believes there may have been an "instantaneous implosion" of the craft. "If that's what happened, that's what would have happened four days ago," he said.

And the US Navy knew it from the start.
But I can’t really blame them for not saying what most everybody knew, out of respect for the families..................
“Why would an implosion under high pressure leave a debris field? Figured there would be just a collapsed vessel.”
Seriously? It’s not a soda can. It’s made up of different sections, fibrous material, metal, etc. They all act differently under pressure. Take a hard boiled egg. Put it under water and squish it in your hand with your 10lbs of pressure. Release. Debris? Now imagine 500x that pressure and the effects it has.
There is also the fascinating effect known as dieseling. Where the air is compressed to such a high pressure relative to its initial volume that it ignites nearly everything within it instantly. Which creates an explosion.
True enough. Still recognizing a submarine 12000 miles away is no mean feat. No wonder the Soviets were terrified of us

What did the Titan Mothership know, and when did they know it??
They should have known better pre-launch. It seems like post-launch they got their info from the Navy via the CG.
“They were dead on day one......”
But that news would’ve overshadowed Hunter Biden’s news.
What happens to a person’s body when a submarine implodes?
What is a water implosion and how does it happen?
High-pressure submarine implosion happens when a submarine’s (or submersibles) hull succumbs to the intense external water pressure at great depths. As the submarine descends deeper into the water, the pressure exerted on the hull increases significantly. If the hull is not strong enough to withstand this immense pressure, it can collapse inward, causing an implosion. This implosion can be sudden and catastrophic, resulting in the destruction of the submarine and potential loss of life. The greater the depth of the vessel at the time of the accident the more violent the event will be.

Titan implosion — USCG Marine Board Investigation begins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dXLVCLKeoU
In this episode, Sal Mercogliano - maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner - recaps the issues surrounding the loss of the submersible Titan. He also discusses the issue of classification, the search and rescue efforts for the craft, the detection of the implosion by the US Navy SOSUS array, and how the US and Canada investigation will proceed.
