The U.S. Coast Guard announced that a large debris field has been found in the area of the missing Oceangate submersible. The location and status of the debris suggest that there was a catastrophic implosion of the hull. Such an implosion would have killed everyone aboard instantly. Due to the speed of the event, everyone on board would have died before they understood what was happening. Debris was found 1600 feet from the bow of the Titanic wreckage which means that the 113-year-old marooned ship did not necessarily cause the implosion. It is more likely that structural deficiencies that were known to Oceangate prior to this most recent voyage resulted in the catastrophic failure of the vessel.
