A Canadian aircraft has detected underwater noises during its search for a submersible with five people aboard that vanished while making a 3,800m descent to the Titanic wreck off the coast of Newfoundland.
“Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area,” the US Coast Guard wrote on Twitter. “As a result, ROV [remotely operated vehicle] operations were relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises. Those ROV searches have yielded negative results but continue.”
With an estimated 30 hours of oxygen supply left inside the vessel, an international team of rescuers is racing against the clock to find the submersible and its passengers.
