A United States Coast Guard has revealed that Canadian military surveillance aircraft detected underwater noises as the search continued early Wednesday in a remote part of the North Atlantic for the submersible that disappeared while taking five people down to the wreck of the Titanic.
The U.S. Coast Guard’s statement did not reveal what rescuers believed the noises could be, though it provided a glimmer of hope for those lost aboard the Titan as estimates suggest as little as one day’s worth of oxygen could be left if the vessel still functions.
However, questions remain about how the lost submersible, which could be as deep as about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the surface near the watery tomb of the historic ocean liner could be reached by the team.
Also, newly uncovered allegations suggest there had been important warnings made about the safety of the vessel during its development.
The Coast Guard tweeted that a Canadian P-3 Orion had “detected underwater noises in the search area.” Searchers later moved an underwater robot to that area to search but those searches “have yielded negative results but continue.”
The Coast Guard said: “The data from the P-3 aircraft has been shared with our U.S. Navy experts for further analysis which will be considered in future search plans.”
The Coast Guard made the statement after Rolling Stone cited what it described as internal U.S. Department of Homeland Security emails on the search and said that teams heard “banging sounds in the area every 30 minutes.”
