Dive expert David Mearns told the BBC the president of the Explorers Club - which is connected to the diving community - says the debris includes "a landing frame and a rear cover from the submersible".The debris was located by a remote-controlled underwater search vehicle near the wreck of the Titanic.Two of the five men on board, British businessman Hamish Harding and French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, are members of the US-based Explorer's Club.
The firm's co-founder, Guillermo Söhnlein, told the BBC that he believes there may have been an "instantaneous implosion" of the craft.Mr Söhnlein added that his "biggest fear" during the search was that the Titan had surfaced after communications had been lost - which he said would have been standard protocol.
Thursday's announcement that a debris field was found is so far the only potential clue discovered by ROVs that have been deployed to the area.
