told reporters Wednesday that the Coast Guard isn't sure what the underwater noises a Canadian P-3 aircraft picked up in the Titan search area are.
"We currently have five surface assets searching for the Titan, and we expect ten total surface assets to search in the next 24 to 48 hours," Frederick continued."We also have to factor in the ever changing weather conditions, currents and sea states that expand the search area every hour," Frederick also said.
Fred Hagen spoke to"Fox & Friends" Wednesday morning as the Coast Guard estimates there is less than 24 hours of oxygen remaining in the Titan, which vanished Sunday on an expedition to visit what remains of the Titanic. While there are a few chances of scattered showers over the next few days, the FOX Forecast Center expects both wind and seas to have minimal impacts.
The closest tropical cyclone activity is expected to remain over 1,000 miles away in the Caribbean and central Atlantic over the next five days. "The John Cabot has side-scanning sonar capabilities and is conducting search patterns alongside the Skandi Vinland and the Atlantic Merlin," the Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard on Tuesday afternoon estimated there were about 40 hours of oxygen remaining onboard the Titan. The Coast Guard said Tuesday afternoon that there were just 40 hours left of"breathable air" inside the vessel.The vessel launched its journey Sunday with 96 hours of oxygen onboard.
