The five people aboard the Titan submarine, which has been missing since Sunday, died in a "catastrophic explosion," the US Coast Guard said.
Although several rescue teams are still searching through the wreckage to reconstruct the last moments of the boat, videos on social media claim what the explosion may have looked like. An old video of a suddenly collapsing tanker on YouTube shows the collapse happening shockingly quickly.

Most of these videos are posted on TikTok where they have gained a lot of attention. As the New York Post reports, one of them shows a ship that looks like a military submarine suddenly flattening out, bending into a piece of metal and then destroying itself, leaving air bubbles and debris behind.
Another similar video shows OceanGate's Titan submarine plunging into the ocean's depths as it begins to break apart like a can, the Post reported.

The video's caption reads: "A wall of metal and seawater destroyed the boat from end to end, all in about 30 milliseconds." After the missing submarine was announced, Rear Admiral John Mauger told reporters in Boston that tests showed debris found on the sea floor, 500 meters from the Titanic's bow, was from pressure.

Mauger said the Coast Guard could not be sure when or why the ship exploded. "We will gather as much information as we can," he added. On board were British explorer Hamish Harding, French submarine expert Paul-Henri Narzolet, Pakistani-British tycoon Shahzada Dawood Dawood and his son Suleman, and Stockton Rush, CEO of the submarine company OceanGate Expeditions.
