The U.S. Coast Guard said Thursday a remote operated vehicle (ROV) discovered a "debris field" near the Titanic wreckage site where a submersible went missing.
A Navy official says “an acoustic anomaly consistent with an implosion” was detected shortly after the Titan lost contact with the surface. This official said the information was relayed to the Coast Guard team which used it to narrow the radius of the search area.
I guess they wanted to keep going until there was undeniable evidence of their peril. An “acoustic anomaly” alone isnt really enough to say “they were pancaked let’s go home”
Sounds like they did not. An update:
So they knew about it, but let the news milk the topic for 4 days?

Yeah the article says 2 ROVs were deployed and confirmed sightings of debris they think is the submersible.
