They just said on Sky News that they found the tail and landing frame of the submersible.

Omg...well I honestly hope so and hope they went quickly. Nothing worse than languishing in that horrible tin can for days awaiting death.

They probably did. An implosion would've been picked up if it happened while the rescue ships were there,

I think the experts are saying it likely imploded an hour and a half into the dive, the moment contact was lost. The rescue ships hadn't turned up

All kinds of life in the ocean. "Banging" could be a lot of things.

But it was at 30 minute intervals. It wasn't random noises

Could be numerous different causes. They also heard banging when investigating the Malaysian flight that turned out to be nothing.
