Rescuers are looking for The lost tourist submarine in He chose the North Atlantic up “Noise under water,” the US Coast Guard said early Wednesday.
seek teams It is revealed under water sounds during the North Atlantic Survey for the vehicle that disappeared with five people Aboard during a deep sea voyage to a century old wreck of Titanic.
detection of the sounds Canadian aircraft reported by the Coast Guard with the clock ticking down to last 24 hours of The vehicle’s supposed oxygen supply.
Undersea robotic searches have been transformed into area But there was nothing concrete yet sign of The Coast Guard said the missing ship on Twitter.
The 21-foot submersible Titan, operated by US company OceanGate Expeditions, has lost contact. with that it parent surface ship on Sunday morning about 1 hour 45 minutes at what should The dive was on site for 2 hours of The world’s most famous shipwreck.
was the vignette designed to remain Underwater for 96 hoursaccording to her specificationsgiving its occupants until the Thursday morning before their appointment air Tanks will run outassuming that Titan was still intact.
fate of The submarine and who was on board remained a mystery as did the research teams from the United States, Canada and France extensively in a area of The open sea is larger than the state of Connecticut.
debris of Titanic, a British ocean liner that hit an iceberg during its maiden voyage on the night of April 14, 1912, and sank next In the morning, it’s about 12,500 feet (3,810 meters) below the surface — about 900 miles (1,450 km) east. of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and 400 miles (644 km) south of St. John’s, Newfoundland.
like of On Tuesday, planes and ships from the US Coast Guard, US Navy and Canadian Armed Forces made a sweep more of 7,600 square miles of US Coast Guard Capt. Jimmy Frederick told reporters at a news conference on the third day of search.
Those who were on Titan for $250,000 per-person tourist expedition including British billionaire Hamish Harding, 58, and Pakistani-born businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, with his 19-year-old son Suleiman , who Both are British citizens.
French explorer Paul-Henri Nargolet, 77, and Stockton Rush, founder and CEO of Oceangate excursions were also stated to be on board. The authorities have not confirmed the identity of any passenger.
Automated search redirection
Research efforts included Lockheed P-3 Orion turboprop aircraft designed with subsurface monitoring gear To spot submarines, Frederick said.
Canadian military also Drop sonar buoys to listen for any sounds That may come from Titan, a merchant ship to lay pipelines with a remote- Controlled deep water submersible was also Search near the site, he said.
Separately, French research A ship with its own deep-sea robotic submarine has been sent to search area upon request of The US Navy was expected to arrive Wednesday night local time, Ifremer research said the institute.
The Canadian P-3 is finished up Underwater noise detection in search area on Tuesday, and then “ROV (Remotely Operated vehicle) processes have been moved in Try to explore the original of The noise,” according to Coast Guard tweets.
ROV searches yielded a negative results But the Coast Guard said, adding that P-3 data has been shared with US Navy experts for Further analysis to be considered in future seek plans. “
The Coast Guard was not mentioned in detail nature or run of the sounds.
But CNN and Rolling Stone, citing an American internal magazine government Communications, independently reported late Tuesday that banging sounds They were detected by Canadian aircraft at 30-minute intervals in search area.
rolling stone, first to report newsAl said sounds They are chosen up By sonar buoys and this additional sonar is selected up more hit four hours Later.
CNN, citing the United States government The note says that extra sounds heard about four hours After detecting an initial noise, although the news the channel said second Its occurrence was not described as noise.
withdraw from outside
rescue men face major hurdles for both in Find Titan and in save people On board, according to experts.
In the event of In the event of a mid-dive emergency, the Titan pilot would likely have released weights to float back to the surface, according to marine engineering specialist Alistair Gregg professor at University College London. But in the absence of contact, a submarine the size of a truck was located in The vast Atlantic Ocean prove Challenge said.
The submersible is sealed with nails from outsidewhich prevents passengers from escaping without assistance even if it appears on the roof.
If Titan is stuck on Ocean floorrescue effort face greatest challenges Because of the intense hydrostatic pressure and total the darkness on the sea floor more More than 3.21 kilometers (two miles). “It would be almost impossible to do,” Titanic expert Tim Matlin said effect rescue from within on Seabed.
Sinking of Titanic killed more from 1500 peoplewas immortalized in Books and movies, including the 1997 movie movie “Titanic”, which renewed popular interest in debris.
