What Happened to Titanic’s Stern?

Titanic’s stern section today lies on the ocean floor a battered and torn husk of its former glory. We all know Titanic broke into two sections as it sank - but why is the forward bow section so well-preserved while the stern looks as if a bomb exploded? Theories have been put forward including implosion - but are these actually plausible? The Titan Submersible disaster showed us what dangers lurk below the surface once water pressure becomes involved - but physics would tell us that all is not as it appears on the Titanic wreck site. Today we’ll try to get to the bottom of the mystery and answer - what did happen to Titanic’s stern section as it sank?
