Debris Field Discovered in Search for Missing Submarine near Titanic Crash Site
Joint command experts are currently evaluating information regarding a debris field found in the search for a missing submersible near the crash site of the Titanic. It remains unclear if this debris field is related to the missing submarine.
Pelagic Research Services, the company that provided the probe for the search, confirmed to CNN the discovery of the debris field on the sea floor. The presence of this debris field raises hopes of finding clues about the whereabouts of the missing submersible.
Today is a critical day for the search, as the submarine is running out of life support, according to Guillermo Sonlein, co-founder of OceanGate, the company that organized the excursion to the Titanic crash site. It is believed that the submarine has already reached its 96-hour air limit, adding urgency to the search efforts.
The submarine, which was used to deliver tourists to the crash site of the Titanic liner, lost communication on June 19 in the Atlantic Ocean. The US Coast Guard reported that five people were on board the ship at the time of its disappearance. Among them are British billionaire Hamish Harding, CEO and founder of OceanGate Expeditions Stockton Rush, French submarine pilot Paul Henri Nargole, and Shahzada Davud, one of the richest people in Pakistan, along with his 19-year-old son.
On June 21, the US Coast Guard reported recording extraneous noises at the site of the missing submarine, further intensifying the search efforts.
The wreck of the Titanic, which sank in 1912, lies at a depth of about 3,810 meters under approximately 644 kilometers south of the Canadian island of Newfoundland. The search for the missing submersible is taking place in this challenging and historic area.
As the search continues, hopes remain high for a breakthrough in locating the missing submarine and ensuring the safety of those on board. The discovery of the debris field brings renewed optimism to the search efforts, as experts work tirelessly to unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the submersible near the sunken Titanic.
How does the rapidly depleting life support of the missing submarine add urgency to the ongoing search efforts
