Images of the wreckage recovered from the Titan submersible in the North Atlantic show the effect of the catastrophic implosion that the craft suffered as it ventured to the wreck of the Titanic - leading to the instantaneous death of the five passengers.
The implosion most likely occurred as a result of the immense pressure from the ocean depth, an expert has explained.
Crews deployed remotely operated vehicles to search the ocean floor near the wreck of the Titanic, about 700 kilometres (435 miles) south of Newfoundland and brought debris from the submersible to the surface.
