Titanic sub victims knew of 'horror' deaths one minute before implosion

An expert has said the Titanic submersible victims would only have known about their impending death just one minute before the vessel imploded.

This is what Spanish submarine expert José Luis Martín said, explaining that it shot down to the sea bed "like an arrow vertically" possibly due to a loss in stability resulting from an electrical failure, The Daily Star reports.

Martín revealed he believes the vessel would have dovetailed at around 5,600 feet "as if it were a stone and without any control".
