They found a debris field near the titanic recently. It was a catastrophic failure. RIP to those on board.

If you mean the OceanGate submarine, it seemingly spectacularly imploded after its carbon fiber structure gave in to various microfractures. If that really is what happened, the water pressure killed the crew faster than their brains would've processed anything.
