“Underwater noises” were discovered while searching for the missing Titanic sub

According to Canadian marine surveillance aircraft reports on the Titanic, they heard “banging sounds in the vicinity every 30 minutes.”

Titanic heard “underwater noises in the search area.”

According to the United States Coast Guard, a Canadian aircraft participating in the search for the deep-sea vessel that went missing while on a mission to the site of the Titanic heard “underwater noises in the search area.”

The Coast Guard announced on Wednesday that remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) had to be moved “in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises” due to noises picked up by a P-3 maritime surveillance plane.

According to a tweet from the coast guard, the remotely operated underwater vehicles have “yielded negative results” thus far in their search, but they will continue their efforts.

“In addition, the data from the P-3 aircraft has been shared with our US Navy experts for additional research, and these findings will be taken into consideration in upcoming search plans,” the statement continued.

The coastguard did not provide any specifics regarding the nature of the sounds heard, including their scope or how they were discovered.

Rolling Stone magazine was the first to report the news of what was characterized as “banging sounds in the vicinity every 30 minutes.” This information was gleaned from internal conversations within the United States government.

According to an internal email sent to authorities working for the United States Department of Homeland Security, the magazine reported that thumping could still be heard after four hours of further sonar being deployed.

According to its specifications, the missing submersible Titanic, operated by a company based in the United States and known as OceanGate Expeditions, was designed to remain submerged for 96 hours. According to officials, this gives the five people who were on board until Thursday morning before they will run out of air.

Titanic April 1912

It is approximately 1,450 kilometers (900 miles) east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and about 644 kilometers (400 miles) south of St. John’s, Newfoundland, for the location of the ruins of the Titanic, which sank on its maiden voyage in April 1912.

According to a spokesperson for the United States Air Mobility Command, three C-17 transport planes from the United States military have been used to move commercial submersibles and support equipment from Buffalo, New York, to St. John’s, Newfoundland, to assist in the search for the missing ship.

According to the statements made by the Canadian military, they have contributed a patrol aircraft and two surface ships, one of which is a dive medicine specialist ship. Also, it released sonar buoys to keep an ear out for any sounds coming from the Titanic.

There was one pilot and four passengers inside the little submersible when it began its descent to the ocean below to observe the Titanic early on Sunday morning. But, the miniature submersible lost communication with a parent ship on the surface approximately one hour and 45 minutes into its dive.

Those who are on board Titanic for the expedition that costs $250,000 per person are believed to be United Kingdom billionaire Hamish Harding, 58, Pakistani-born businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, along with his 19-year-old son Suleman, both of whom are British citizens, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, and American Stockton Rush, founder, and CEO of OceanGate Expeditions. Authorities have not confirmed the identity of any passenger.

‘Put Titanic passengers in potentially great danger.’

While the frantic search continued on Wednesday, it was revealed that OceanGate’s former director of marine operations had complained about Titanic lack of safety before being sacked from his position, as stated in a complaint filed in 2018.

In a statement that he submitted to a lawsuit launched against him by OceanGate, David Lochridge expressed his concerns regarding the security of the missing submersible.

According to a lawsuit that was filed in 2018 in the United States District Court in Seattle, Lochridge authored an engineering report in which he stated that the craft that was in the process of being developed required additional testing and that passengers might be put in danger when the ship reached “extreme depths.” OceanGate launched a lawsuit against Lochridge, accusing him of violating a non-disclosure agreement. Lochridge responded by filing a counterclaim, stating that he was terminated unfairly for questioning the company’s testing and safety procedures.

Some months after the lawsuit was initially filed, it was eventually resolved with terms that were kept confidential.

Instead of scanning the hull, the business decided to rely on sensitive acoustic monitoring, which listens for sounds like cracking or popping created by the Titanic hull when subjected to pressure. This decision was the primary source of Lochridge’s misgivings about the company. According to him, the manufacturer informed him that there was no equipment available that could execute such a test on the carbon-fiber hull that was 12.7 centimeters thick (5 inches).

“This was problematic because this type of acoustic analysis would only show when a component is about to fail – often milliseconds before an implosion – and would not detect any existing flaws prior to putting pressure onto the hull,” Lochridge’s counterclaim said. “This was problematic because this type of acoustic analysis would only show when a component is about to fail – often milliseconds before an implosion.”

In addition, the vessel was built to dive to depths of 4,000 meters (13,123 feet), where the Titanic was located. Nevertheless, according to Lochridge, the passenger viewport was only certified for depths of up to 1,300 meters (4,265 feet), and OceanGate would not pay for the manufacturer to develop a viewport that was approved for 4,000 meters depths.

The choices made by OceanGate would, according to the counterclaim, “place passengers in potentially life-threatening situations while aboard an experimental submersible.” On the other hand, the organization stated in its complaint that Lochridge “is not an engineer and was not employed or asked to undertake engineering services on the Titanic.”

According to the complaint, he was let go because he refused to accept assurances from OceanGate’s lead engineer that the acoustic monitoring and testing protocol was better suited to detect any flaws than a scan would be. As a result, the complaint said, he was unable to accept the assurances.
