A submersible owned by OceanGate, carrying four passengers and a pilot, lost contact with its vessel the Polar Prince hours after diving on Sunday. The sub was supposed to take tourists to view the wreckage of the Titanic.
On Wednesday, the United State Coast Guard said that a Canadian aircraft had detected “underwater noises” from a submersible which went missing during a voyage to the wreck of the Titanic.
Although the Coast Guard didn’t reveal what kind of
noise was heard, Rolling Stone magazine described it as “
banging sounds in the area every 30 minutes”, citing internal US government communications.
“Four hours later, additional sonar was deployed and banging was still heard”, the magazine added.
A P-3 maritime surveillance aircraft detected the noise.
“Additionally, the data from the P-3 aircraft has been shared with our US Navy experts for further analysis, which will be considered in future search plans”,
the US Coast Guard stated in a tweet.
The Coast Guard is scanning the remote area of the North Atlantic where the Titanic rests 400 miles (650 kilometres) off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, and some 13,000 feet (4,000 metres) underwater. The missing Titan submersible weighs 10,432kg.
Meanwhile, the US Navy has sent a deep salvage system known as the Fadoss to Newfoundland along with other equipment and personnel. The Fadoss system is designed to provide a “reliable deep ocean lifting capacity of up to 27,200 kg and can also
lift heavy sunken objects such as aircraft or small vessels".
Apart from this, three C-17 transport planes from the US military are being used to move commercial submersible and support equipment from Buffalo (New York) to St John’s, Newfoundland, to help in the search, a spokesperson for US Air Mobility Command said.
The Canadian military has also informed that it has provided a patrol aircraft and two surface ships and also dropped sonobuoys to listen for any sounds from the Titan.
Magellan, a British firm specialising in deep ocean investigations and recovery operations, has also joined the
rescue operation for the Titan.
Media reports also said that a French research ship carrying its deep-sea diving robot vessel was also being sent to the search area.
What is the Expedition About?
OceanGate charges at least $250,000 for the eight-day expedition to the Titanic shipwreck. As per its website, the expedition was started in 2021, in which passengers are taken to 3,800 m (12,500ft) beneath the surface at the bottom of the Atlantic.
The famous wreckage site is about 600km (370 miles) off the coast of Newfoundland and lies in two parts.
A full dive to the wreck, including the descent and ascent, reportedly takes eight hours.
The expedition lasts over a week and sets off from the Canadian city of St. John's in Newfoundland. Single dives take six to eight hours to reach the Titanic site, explore, and return to the surface.
Among the five people on board is Hamish Harding, a 58-year-old British businessman and explorer, Pakistani-native British businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son, Suleman Dawood, 19, and 77-year-old French explorer Paul-Henry Nargeolet. The fifth person, the pilot, is OceanGate chief executive Stockton Rush.
