DEBRIS FIELD DISCOVERED BY DEEP-SEA ROBOT

Officials say a remote-operated robot discovered the debris field near the Titanic that could be linked to the missing Titan.

The robot is one of several remotely operated vehicles, known as ROVs, scanning the sea floor for clues of the missing submersible.

The ROVs are outfitted with cameras and travel to depths many other vessels cannot and have been used for undersea exploration for decades.

The Coast Guard's post on Twitter gave no details, such as whether officials believe the debris field is connected to the Titan.

The Titanic wreckage is located at a depth of 12,500 feet (3.8 kilometers) in the North Atlantic waters.
