According to the report, search and rescue teams found multiple floating debris near the Titanic wreckage. They supposed that it is highly likely that this debris belong to the tail section of the Titan submarine, and they were found approximately 500 meters away from the Titanic wreckage. 

According to expert reports, the ship lost contact at a water depth of 3,000 meters. At this time, the huge water pressure affected any small cracks in the Titan submersible, and any possible danger could occur.

This is believed to be one of the reasons for the announced incident, and authorities are still investigating the deaths of the five passengers. However, a video recreating the incident in the deep waters of the Titan submarine surfaced online and immediately racked up millions of views.
