They found a debris field near the titanic site.
Imploded the first day, no currycel stench suffering.

NEW UPDATE
Retired US Navy submariner reveals Titan sub was likely descending faster than planned
During an interview with WFLA NOW’s J.B. Biunno, Retired US Navy Submariner Mark Martin revealed that one of his sources reported the missing Titan submersible was trying to release ballast before they lost communication with the surface.
“One of my sources has reported that about the time that they lost comms, or just before they lost comms, they reported they were trying to release ballast,” Martin said. “What that means to me is they were heavy. They were descending faster than they were supposed to. So they were trying to get rid of weight.”
Martin said there were several factors that could have prompted the crew to release ballast. Among those are malfunctioning propellers or a leak in the hull. At this time, it is unknown what caused the sub to slip below the waves.
“If you’re descending too fast, that can cause excess stress on certain parts of the vehicle,” Martin added. “The reason you descend in a controlled manner is so that everything in the vehicle has the ability to acclimate to the increased pressure.”

How fast could it sink? So likely just died on impact or even before (wouldn't equipment need to adjust the inside to keep it pressurized or does that not change anything when going deeper)

RIP.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

The mothership also fled northeast as they were trying to drop ballast to get out of the way for when it re surfaced, They went back to launch location some hours later.
Also explains why they were banking and puting so many recourses on it being on the surface as they were dumping everything they had on there way down.
They likely knew the fate day 1, What an absolute piece of siht.
Those internet guys tracking this siht were not wrong. They new the found something. Also explains why the French dumped there ROV right next to the Canadians.

The new debris field near the Titanic must be significant since they've extensively mapped and 3d scanned Titanic's debris field over the years.

An average air filled neoprene suit will lose approximately ½ of its buoyancy at the depth of 33 feet, ⅔ at the depth of 66 feet. At 100 feet it will effectively become crushed and lose almost all of its buoyancy (as well as thermal isolation properties).

So if it was descending faster than expected was this thing never tested prior to putting in a crew of dummies?
Adding in 5 people is a change in weight but I would assume they would account for the weight of the passengers but then again the damn thing seems to be built with cutting corners at every angle lol

who is going to be the first to rebuild a replica and take it down with a real sub to video what the implosion was like?

basically, a really smart failsafe, to get the sub back to the surface in case of catastrophic power failure.

100% they knew the submarine was done for a long time ago

So the banging at exactly every 30 mins was what?
Also, how hard is it to figure out what the debris is from? The thing doesn't have that many parts and they all look like it could be nothing else. In b4 the logitech controller is shown on top of the titanic as proof.
