The Coast Guard said Thursday that a remotely operated vehicle found a 'debris field' in the search area.
A French vessel with a submersible that is able to reach the sea bed has arrived in the area where rescuers say they believe a banging sound — possibly coming from the missing sub — was heard.
“We are smack dab in the middle of search and rescue, and we’ll continue to put every available asset that we have in an effort to find the Titan and the crew members.” A Canadian aircraft detected underwater noises again on Wednesday, one day after planes first detected the sounds during the search for the Titan, U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Jamie Frederick said.
“I can tell you from my experience with acoustics that there are sounds by biologics that sound manmade to the untrained ear, but I can assure you that the people listening to these tapes are trained. There are a lot of vessels in the area, and they each make noise, right? So, all of that has to be eliminated, and it’s analysis over time.
“What I can tell you is, we’re searching in the area where the noises were detected and will continue to do so, and we hope that when we’re able to get additional — which will be there in the morning — the intent will be to continue to search in that area where the noises were detected in, if they’re continuing to be detected, and then put additional ROVs down in the last known position where the search was originally taking place.
