Neptune:1 (probably) Titan:0 
You know they're hitting that search area heavy and one would "think" that sub couldn't have drifted far from the Titanic location. Shows how difficult and complex these kinds of searches are. (and how immense the ocean is)

Experts inside and outside the company warned of potential dangers and urged the company to undergo a certification process.
Searchers detect ‘banging’ every 30 minutes near area where Titanic sub vanished as DHS emails confirm potential signs of life
The emails, obtained by Rolling Stone, did not specify when the Canadian maritime surveillance and patrol aircraft picked up on the banging.

Submarine mishaps rarely end well, pray that it was quick
“The debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the pressure chamber,” Rear Admiral John Mauger told reporters.
Titanic submersible live updates: 'Catastrophic implosion' killed five aboard, possibly Sunday
"The debris is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber," the Coast Guard said. Families have been notified.

Not underwater, however, an implosion is still an implosion. I doubt they knew what happened.
While talking to my wife about it I told her the same, that I hoped it was an implosion - at those pressures they never would have had a clue what happened. Additionally the carbon fiber body was only tested ONCE at the pressure it was expected to encounter, who knows what stresses repeated dives would result in.
Regardless, I do NOT get in submarines. At least on a ship you can jump off if necessary.

What a bunch of idiots. What is so exciting about going to down there to see that crap anyway? Is it super clear down there? Wouldn’t it be easier just to watch a YouTube video of it. I was talking about this with my hair stylist yesterday and we think maybe they faked it. Like it was planned because they were knee deep in some bad shit and needed to fake their deaths . They met up with another vessel somewhere to make the sneak move and went to get plastic surgery for new faces and identities . The bitches are still alive and kicking. Very clever move to fool people.

Have you ever been on a tour in one of those WW2 subs that some cities have museums dockside? I couldn't imagine being in one of those tiny cans being depth charged for hours.

A few of the WW2 vets wrote some great books about their patrols.

FedEx Named In What Could Be One Of The Largest Odometer Fraud Schemes In U.S. History
The company, along with Holman Automotive Group, has been accused of rolling back the odometers of thousands of old delivery trucks.

It wasn't uncommon for guys to make a living rolling back speedo's on used cars at dealers in the 70's early 80's. Federal "Truth in Mileage Act" 1985 pretty much put a stop to that. That's where the mileage statement when you buy a car comes from.

Is that the one with Tom Hanks? I liked it.
Edit: Matter of fact, I might watch it again today.
