I believe they have found parts of the wreckage. I wonder if we will get any clues to how it happened. I guess either way they wouldn't have survived long
The primary cause I'm hearing is the window. It was rated for a dive depth of 1500m, and the sub would routinely dive to 4000m.
I also heard the carbon fiber skin wasn’t appropriate for so many massive pressure changes it underwent with each dove.
