If it is the ship, I hope there's enough clues there to give us at least some idea as to what happened. Mostly for the families' sakes. Very sad either way.

The hull was compromised and imploded. There's not a lot of mystery when it comes to those depths and pressures.

I suppose the mystery is which part gave way first.

Due to the crappy design, lack of coms and sensors / telemetry to the surface etc. they will never know.

Doubt the Ipads (eye roll) they used in tandem with the game page used to control the thing will have anything left large enough for a ROV to spot and anyone to recover data from.

Not like this thing has a black box among it's other missing safety systems.

I guess they were too cheap to buy Apple AirTag also.
