The Titanic submarine's remains were found "almost immediately" by a rescue robot, according to the head of the search operation.
Ed Cassano, chief executive of the New York-based Pelagic Research Services, said the firm's ROV vehicle found the submersible four days after the OceanGate Titan went missing.

During the operation, Mr Cassano envisaged four possible scenarios, with the best being that the Titan was resting on the seafloor but had lost the power to come back up.
He admitted: “The plan was to grab the Titan."
They would have attached a "lifting motor" to the submersible and would raise it to a depth where ROVs from another search could operate.
He said: "The sub was not being tracked. We didn't know where it was....it's essential for safe operations. The plan was to grab the Titan, and once we'd grabbed the Titan, manipulate it. Then we had her.
"Then it was going to be attaching beacons...so if we lost her, other assets could track her. At
