Oh ok. I read the article 2 years ago.

The pressure is equivalent to the weight a 747 per square inch, that's the size of a postage stamp.
Nothing on the Titanic would have handled that.

I thought the Titanic search was an afterthought.

Something that was revealed a few years ago was that the expedition was paid for by the us navy and they were looking for a submarine wreck from WW2. After they found the submarine, the Argo crew figured they can look for the Titanic as well since they're near the estimated probable location. They got permission from the navy and were given a time frame (idr how long). They found the Titanic on the last day on the western edge of the search area. The submarine search was declassified a few days before the information was released.

From what I've read, even if the exploration and taking artifacts and machines damaging the wreck, etc all stopped, the structure itself is still deteriorating from bacteria eating the iron in the body, etc.

Didn't know that at first.
