Military flight to Titanic wreck in search for missing submarine

Aircraft: F18 Super Hornet

Departure: St John’s Itn’l
Arrival: St John’s Itn’l
Flight time: 2:35

Great flight searching for any signs of the sub that disappeared near the titanic wreck on Sunday. 5 other aircraft out there as well including Boeing 737, Hercules and the new Challanger 350. Escorted the 737 on the way to the site. Unfortunately no signs and low on fuel so headed back in. Edit: Condolences to the people and their families involved

As per the announcements which are currently ongoing, they have said that they have found a few major pieces of debris from the fields of debris from the submersible, including the nose cone, the front end bell(?) of the pressure hull and the aft end bell(?) of the pressure hull, which they all suspect are a result of an implosion of the Titan submersible approximately 1600 feet from the wreck of the Titanic. My thoughts and condolences go out to those involved and their families as well as those who are helping search for further information and debris.
