Titanic submersible
OceanGate’s Titan submersible went missing shortly after its departure on Sunday, 18 June 2023.
Officials from the US Coast Guard provided updates on the status of the search and rescue mission of the submersible carrying five tourists to the wreckage of the Titanic.
Titan, which went missing on Sunday, is designed to go the deepest of them all, able to reach depths of over 13,000 feet, or 4,000 meters, according to the company.
There are now less than 20 hours of oxygen left in the missing Titan submersible as rescue efforts continue for the five passengers.
A Canadian aircraft searching for the sub in the Atlantic Ocean detected intermittent “banging” noises from the vicinity of its last known location.
The crew searching for the missing sub heard banging sounds every 30 minutes on Tuesday and again four hours later, after additional sonar devices were deployed.
However, the US Coast Guard clarified that they “don’t know the source of the noise”.
The Titan is equipped with a four-day emergency oxygen supply.
