Titan sub debris field: Parts of missing sub's cover found, expert says
By Bernd Debusmann JrBBC News, Washington
Debris has been found in The Search for The Missing Titan submersible, reportedly including parts of its outside cover.
Dive expert David Mearns told The Bbc The President of the Explorers Club - which is connected to the diving and rescue Community - says the debris includes " a landing frame and a rear cover from the submersible".
The US Coast Guard earlier confirmed a " debris field" had been found within The Search area.
It was located by a remote-controlled underwater search vehicle (ROV) near The Wreck of The Titanic .
A US Coast Guard news conference is scheduled for 1500 EST (1900 GMT) on Thursday afternoon.
The Titan vessel went missing in a remote area of the North Atlantic on Sunday with a four-day oxygen supply for its crew of five.
Some experts have speculated that it could have suffered a catastrophic implosion as a result of a hull failure. The minivan-sized submersible was owned and operated by the private company OceanGate Expeditions.
The Firm 's co-founder, Guillermo Söhnlein, told The Bbc that he believes there may have been an " instantaneous implosion" of The Craft .
" If that's What Happened , that's what would have happened four days ago, " He Said .
Mr Söhnlein added that his " biggest fear" during The Search was that The Titan had surfaced after communications had been Lost - which He Said would have been standard protocol.
" From The Beginning I always thought that's probably what Stockton [Rush, the sub's pilot] would have done, " he added. " In which case it becomes very difficult to find the sub, because The Surface ship wouldn't have known it was Coming Up and wouldn't have known where to look. "
If the sub is found under The Sea 's surface, it will need to be reached by complex rescue equipment And Then brought to The Surface in an operation that would likely take hours.
