Canadian aircraft detected underwater noises in the North Atlantic in the search for a tourist submersible that vanished while on a voyage to the wreck of the Titanic , the US Coast Guard said
The discovery on Tuesday led search teams to relocate their underwater robotic search operations "in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises," the Coast Guard said in a series of tweets early on Wednesday.The Coast Guard did not detail the nature or extent of the sounds that were detected, or how they were picked up.
CNN cited a U.S. government memo also as saying that additional sounds were heard about four hours after initial banging were detected, although the news channel said the second occurrence of noise was not described as banging. A commercial vessel with a remote-controlled deepwater submersible was also searching near the site, Frederick said.carrying its own deep-sea diving robot vessel was dispatched to the search area at the request of the U.S. Navy and was expected to arrive Wednesday night local time, the Ifremer research institute said.
Rescuers face significant obstacles both in finding the Titan and in saving the people aboard, according to experts. If the Titan is on the ocean floor, a rescue effort would be even more challenging due to the extreme conditions more than 2 miles beneath the surface. The Titanic lies 12,500 feet underwater, where no sunlight penetrates. Only specialized equipment can reach such depths without being crushed by the massive water pressure.
