US authorities announced on Thursday that the ship had suffered a "catastrophic implosion".
Titanic's 22-foot (6.7-meter) long stern cone and two sections of its pressurized hull were among the significant pieces discovered 1,600 feet from Titanic's bow, which rests about 13,000 feet above sea level. depth in the North Atlantic.
"The debris suggests a catastrophic implosion of the vessel," said U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger, Commanding Officer of the 1st Coast Guard District.
Aboard the vessel were British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman; Paul-Henri Nargeolet, veteran of the French army; CEO of OceanGate Expeditions Stockton Rush; and billionaire British pilot Hamish Harding.
The Titan submersible disappeared on Sunday morning about an hour and 45 minutes after taking off, about 370 miles off Earth -New. , Canada.
That's the difference between the easily confused definitions of a submarine and a submersible.
What is a submarine?
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website explains the difference between the two.
The government states that a submarine "has enough power to leave port and return to port under its own power."
This means that a submarine can navigate independently to the bottom of the ocean and back.
What is a submersible?
Management states, "A submersible has very limited power reserves, so it needs a mothership for the throw it and retrieve it."
This means that unlike a submarine, it does not have the power to go to the bottom of the sea and return under its own power.
The largest ship, Polar Prince, escorted the Titan to Newfoundland, the closest point to the Titanic. The mothership lost contact after two hours.
