What happened to Titanic submarine when it imploded as five passengers confirmed dead

An official announcement was made by rescuers confirming that the Titan submersible that was exploring the Titanic shipwreck had tragically 'imploded'.

Search robots found debris of the missing submarine strewn across the ocean floor on Thursday, as the five people onboard are now confirmed to be dead, reports the Mirror.

According to National World, an implosion "could occur if any part of the submersible's carbon fibre and titanium hull has suffered a small crack or fault". The implosion typically looks like a bubble created by the water's weight.
