A robotic diving vehicle deployed from Canadian ship discovered debris field from submersible Titan on Thursday morning on seabed some 1,600 feet from bow of Titanic.
The submersible 'Titan' went missing Sunday during a dive to the wreckage of the Titanic. Multiple rescue teams are racing against time to save the 5 people onboard.

Industry experts said that OceanGate chose not to pursue the industry's recognized certification process for the submersible's design, fabrication and testing.
Those onboard vessel include British billionaire Hamish Harding, businessman Shahzada Dawood with his son, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and Stockton Rush, OceanGate founder.
Rolling Stone said sounds were detected by sonar buoys deployed in area ‘close to distress position’ and that additional sonar picked up more banging 4 hours later.
Owned by OceanGate Expeditions, the submersible, with five people on board, went missing an hour and 45 minutes into its dive, about 700 kilometres off the Newfoundland coast.
British billionaire Hamish Harding was also aboard the submarine called Titan, an OceanGate vessel. It went missing on 18 June, just 1 hour and 45 minutes into the dive.
