Looking at the sub from the outside, I would not trust that thing to survive a deep dive. It just looks like someone built it in his garage.

Former US Navy Captain David Marquet tells TalkTV that people should not expect to find any remains following the deaths aboard the Titan submersible. He warned that people underestimate the power of the sea, and speaking about the damage caused by an underwater implosion in the depths of the ocean he said: "I hate to say it but there's no bodies to recover. The implosion is so rapid." When they say catastrophic implosion, it is a instantaneous destruction of the vessel and an instantaneous death for everyone on board."

The first hint of a timeline came Thursday evening when a senior U.S. Navy official said that after the Titan was reported missing Sunday, the Navy went back and analyzed its acoustic data and found an “anomaly” that was consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the vessel was operating when communications were lost. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive acoustic detection system.
The Navy official who spoke of the “anomaly” heard Sunday said the Navy passed on the information to the Coast Guard, which continued its search because the Navy did not consider the data to be definitive.
David Lochridge, OceanGate’s former director of marine operations, argued in 2018 that the method the company devised for ensuring the soundness of the hull — relying on acoustic monitoring that could detect cracks and pops as the hull strained under pressure — was inadequate and could “subject passengers to potential extreme danger in an experimental submersible.”
“This was problematic because this type of acoustic analysis would only show when a component is about to fail — often milliseconds before an implosion — and would not detect any existing flaws prior to putting pressure onto the hull,” Lochridge’s attorneys wrote in a wrongful termination claim.

What caused the Titan to implode? Right now, it's not even clear who will lead the investigation
A day after revelations that the Titan submersible imploded, officials are searching the ocean floor for evidence and determining who will be responsible for investigating the international disaster.

I was thinking the same. The news media stated the force of the implosion/water force was 2x faster than the speed of sound.
What's crazy (according to the media) is this was it's 4th trip to the Titanic & the sub was never checked/inspected after each of the 3 trips.

The company makes expeditions to the Titanic site. With each expedition, many dives to the site are done.

Physics is a remarkable science. Some forces we simply cannot comprehend because their magnificence exceeds our comprehension, which is often based on experience. We are puny compared to nature and we are arrogant for thinking we have any effect on the forces of nature.
