Amid the search for the submersible used for Titanic wreck exploration that went missing in the Atlantic Ocean along with its crew, the internal US Department of Homeland Security memos say that banging sounds could be heard for hours, as reported by CNN. “Additional acoustic feedback was heard and will assist in vectoring surface assets and also indicating continued hope of survivors,” said the second memo, as reported by CNN.  Explorers Club, a group engaged with the rescue operations, on Wednesday said that the data from the search site shows likely signs of life.






Here Are Top Updates:



  • According to US Coast Guard estimates, the Titanic has roughly 30 hours of oxygen remaining on board, as reported by BBC.

  • Four hours after the initial pick-up by a Canadian aircraft, additional sonar was deployed to the area where "banging was still heard."

  • According to the US media, emails that say a Canadian search aircraft detected "banging" in 30-minute intervals coming from the area where the sub disappeared, as reported by BBC.

  • Commanders from the United States Coast Guard continue to lead the complex search over an area of ocean "larger than the state of Connecticut" - approximately 20,000 square kilometres.

  • Rescue teams from Canada's navy, air force, and coast guard are assisting along with the New York state air guard. A French research ship has also joined the hunt.

  • The Titanic submersible is thought to be about 900 miles (1,450 kilometres) east and 400 miles (643 kilometres) south of St Johns, Newfoundland's capital. Contact with the sub was lost one hour and 45 minutes into its two-hour dive down to the Titanic wreck site, which is located at a depth of 3,800 metres.


  • Three C-17 transport planes from the United States military were used to transport commercial submersibles and support equipment from Buffalo, New York, to St. John's, Newfoundland, to aid in the search, according to a spokeswoman for the United States Air Mobility Command.



  • The Canadian military stated that it provided a patrol aircraft and two surface ships, one of which specialises in dive medicine.


Captain of the First Coast Guard District in Boston, Jamie Frederick told a news conference that the crew would have no more than 41 hours of oxygen remaining as of midday Tuesday as a result its air supply could run out Thursday morning, as reported by AP.
