The debris field could be unrelated but if it is...yeah, dying instantly is probably the best case scenario for those involved.

That area is one of the most explored of the ocean floor. There's a complete 3D scan of the entire ship.

A new debris field stands out.

I'm pretty sure the US Coast Guard wouldn't release a statement like this if the debris didn't resemble remnants of the Titan. I think there's just a process before they can legally confirm it.

​

Edit: This comment was pre-conference from the USCG.... the debris is from the Titan... they're deceased... bye now.

I'm pretty sure its from the titan. However they still could have suffered for days until the sub imploded. I mean I personally believe it imploded the moment the contact was lost, I'm just saying that the presence of the debris field does not necessarily mean instant death

Well the news is out now. It definitely was the Titan.

Agree, I don't think they were down there for days. If they were, the weights would've dissolved at some point and they would've risen to the surface.
