A man who says he's friends with someone on the missing Titanic submersible (it's technically not a submarine, but everyone calls it that) says the debris that was found could be part of the landing frame and something else. About 15 minutes before posting this video, CBS News also reported on debris that was found. That report stated the following:
A deep-sea robot found a "debris field" while searching for the sub that went missing while carrying five people to the wreckage of the Titanic, the U.S. Coast Guard said Thursday. Experts were evaluating the discovery by the ROV, or remotely operated vehicle.
"A debris field was discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic," officials said.
The Coast Guard said Thursday morning that a robot from a Canadian vessel had reached the sea floor near the Titanic to look for the sub. Officials were expected to discuss the findings during a news conference Thursday afternoon.
Another robot from a French vessel was also launched into the water Thursday amid a massive international search effort for the lost 21-foot sub Titan.
In addition to the underwater robots, search planes and ships have been deployed to the northern Atlantic Ocean in the hopes of finding the sub approximately 900 nautical miles from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The Coast Guard said Wednesday the search area was about twice the size of Connecticut.
