The hopes for the safe return of the five people lost in a submersible in the North Atlantic have been accompanied by a search for a miracle on Thursday. However, recent news from the US Coast Guard indicates that a debris field has been discovered on the ocean floor near the Titanic, as reported by AP. It remains uncertain whether the debris belongs to the missing OceanGate submersible, but experts are currently investigating the matter, according to BBC. A news conference is scheduled for 3pm Eastern Time. The crew operating an underwater robot was responsible for discovering the debris, as noted by USA Today.
The Coast Guard tweeted, “A debris field was discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic.” The information is currently under evaluation by experts from the unified command, with no additional details provided. According to The Washington Post, the search field contains a significant amount of debris, making it possible that this discovery is a false alarm. Thursday morning marked a critical 96-hour period since the vessel disappeared, during which breathable air could have potentially run out. However, ABC News reports that the people aboard may have the ability to survive up to 20 hours beyond this point. It is worth noting that the wife of the sub’s pilot has a family connection to the Titanic.
