Banging sounds heard during search for missing submersible on Tuesday, according to internal US government memo.
Crews searching for the Titan submersible heard banging sounds every 30 minutes – and four hours later, after additional sonar devices were deployed, banging was still heard, according to an internal US government memo. It was unclear when the banging was heard Tuesday or for how long, based on the memo. A subsequent update sent Tuesday night suggested more sounds were heard though it was not described as “banging.
“Our apprehension is that the current experimental approach adopted by Oceangate could result in negative outcomes, that would have serious consequences for everyone in the industry,” the letter – which was obtained by the Times – reads, in part. Specifically, the letter expressed concern over the company’s compliance with a maritime risk assessment certification known as DNV-GL.
