I think Titan imploded killing the crews instantly. This would explain sudden lost of contact and subsequently unable to find them. Those fiber has been confirmed to buckle from cyclic pressure. The take away from this incident is OceanGate should have pursue Edison manual ways of repetitive testing. It would be very expensive but the knowledge gather from those test will enhance material science of carbon fiber use in that kind of scenrios and design specs. Instead they prefer to fire the engineer whistleblower who try to save them. Such irony.
