In Search For Missing Submarine Near Titanic, Canadian Aircraft Have Heard Underwater Noises
The US Coast Guard stated that a Canadian aircraft has discovered underwater noises while searching for a submersible that disappeared while transporting five people to the Titanic wreck.
The location of the search has changed as a result of the noises picked up by the Canadian P-3 aircraft. These searches have turned up nothing, but they are still going on.
Even under the best of circumstances, the vessel could run out of oxygen by Thursday morning, so rescuers have been working against the clock.
An underwater robot had begun searching near the Titanic in addition to an international fleet of ships and aircraft, and there was a push to bring salvage equipment to the area in case the sub was discovered.
According to a US Air Mobility Command spokesperson, three C-17 transport aircraft from the US military were used to transport a commercial submersible and related equipment from Buffalo, New York, to St. John’s, Newfoundland, to help with the search.
The Canadian military claimed to have sent two surface ships, one of which specialised in dive medicine, and a patrol aircraft.
In order to listen for Titan-related sounds, it also released sonar buoys.
Authorities launched a search in waters about 435 miles (700 kilometres) south of St. John’s after receiving a report that the carbon-fiber vessel was overdue on Sunday night.
Pilot Stockton Rush, the CEO of the company organising the expedition, was in charge.
A British explorer, two members of a Pakistani business family, and a Titanic expert were among his passengers.
According to David Concannon, an advisor to OceanGate Expeditions, which oversaw the mission, the submersible had a four-day oxygen supply when it set to sea around 6 am on Sunday.
The Titan uses two communication systems, according to CBS News journalist David Pogue, who visited the Titanic last year aboard the sub. The sub sends and receives text messages to a surface ship, and it also emits safety pings every 15 minutes to let people know it is still operational.
About one hour and forty-five minutes after the Titan sank, both of those systems shut down.
“There are only two things that could mean. Either they lost all power or the ship developed a hull breach and it imploded instantly. Both of those are devastatingly hopeless,” Pogue told the Canadian CBC network on Tuesday.
The submersible had seven backup systems to return to the surface, including sandbags and lead pipes that drop off and an inflatable balloon. One system is designed to work even if everyone aboard is unconscious, Pogue said.
