- Aircraft detects noises in search area for missing Titanic submersible, according to US Coast Guard.
- Efforts to locate the submersible have been unsuccessful so far.
- US officials discuss periodic “banging” heard in the area, as reported by Rolling Stone.
The US Coast Guard announced on Tuesday evening that a Canadian surveillance plane has detected underwater noises in the search area for a missing tourist submersible.
The First Coast Guard District tweeted, “Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area. ROV operations were relocated to explore the origin of the noises, but no submersible has been found yet.”
ROVs, or remotely operated vehicles, are unmanned vehicles capable of searching underwater areas and potentially retrieving submerged objects.
Rolling Stone reported that internal US emails revealed a Canadian aircraft detected periodic “banging” sounds every 30 minutes in the area where the submersible went missing.
An email from the Department of Homeland Security’s National Operations Center stated, “The P8 heard banging sounds in the area every 30 minutes. Four hours later, additional sonar confirmed the continued presence of the banging sound.”
CNN also reported that sonar picked up “additional acoustic feedback,” indicating hope of possible survivors.
