The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the discovery of debris from the sub, and that the five people aboard are believed to be dead.

    Most likely scenario was always this one. Quite possibly around the time that they lost contact, was also the time of the implosion.

      Yup, that’s what I’ve been saying since the beginning too. It’s kinda good news that they met a probably very fast death, instead of the slow suffocation people were talking about.

        Would certainly be much better to go super fast with as little time to freak out. Rather than to be sitting in the dark trying to not wast air on panic attacks while waiting to even be found (let alone rescued). Would suck to know you were found, but then run out of air before you could reach the surface. Though I am glad that they didn’t also implode into the actual wreak. Still super close.

      The people involved with the search had assumed this was the case all along. Sudden loss of both navigation and communication strongly indicates a catastrophic event.
