That seems the most likely. But from what I understand, that kind of explosion (or implosion, I guess) would have likely been picked up by sonar if it had happened. But I suppose that depends on whether the ship they launched from was using sonar and/or if US submarine tracking sonar is capable of detecting that in that area.
I suppose an electrical fire is another option, as the ballast released by the self-dissolving bonds might not be enough to bring it to the surface on its own. Or they could be bobbing around on the surface somewhere.
