What happens to a submarine when it implodes? Worst fears realised as Titanic sub debris found

Rescuers have officially announced that the Titan submersible has 'imploded' as the search robots found debris strewn across the ocean floor near the Titanic itself.

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 itself looks like a bubble created by the water's weight.

Dr David Gallo, a senior adviser with RMS Titanic Inc, the company that owns the rights to the original underwater gravesite, said the timeline suggests something happened "mid-water" that caused them to lose power or radio communications.
