The vehicle would have less than 24 hours of oxygen remaining
The US Coast Guard, which is racing against time to rescue the submarine stranded near the wreck of the Titanic, said Wednesday (21) that it had detected “underwater noise” in the search area.
In addition to US and Canadian ships, some aircraft have also been made available for the operation, which covers an area of approximately 20,000 square kilometres.
With five people aboard, including British billionaire Hamish Harding, the Titan would have less than 24 hours of oxygen left.
“Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noise in search area. As a result, ROV operations [veículo operado remotamente] they were transferred in an attempt to explore the source of the noise,” the US authorities explained.
The U.S. Coast Guard, however, did not provide further details about the sounds it detected or how they were captured.
“This is a very complex search and the team is working around the clock to bring in all available resources and expertise as quickly as possible,” said US Coast Guard Captain Jamie Frederick.
White House National Security Council communications coordinator John Kirby revealed that US President Joe Biden is “closely following” the work of rescue teams to try to find the submarine that disappeared in the Atlantic. .
