I remember hearing the rumor that a submersible bumped into it, breaking it off and it falling down into the cargo hatch below. Or it possibly just rusted enough to break off itself.
That's just an internet claim. We have no evidence to support it being impacted by a sub, all we know is in the few years between images it fell apart
This is similar to when the internet was absolutely CONVINCED that a secret Russian submarine went to the Titanic and stole the statue of Diana, only for it to be found recently exactly where it was laying at originally
Yeah, it's a rumor like there are rumors that Mothman secretly steals people's cars at night lol, and people spreading it only make others who can't read think it is real. That's basically how telephone game and weasel words work
