The US Coast Guard, searching for the missing submarine, said they found some debris near the sunken ship Titanic. According to the Coast Guard, debris has been found near the Titanic while searching for the missing submarine, which is in progress. There are five people on board this submarine named ‘Titan’.
It is feared that all the 5 people aboard have died. More than 96 hours have passed since the submarine went missing in the Atlantic Ocean to see the wreckage of the Titanic ship that sank in April 1912. In such a situation, the same number of hours of oxygen available in the submarine has also ended.
Rescuers said Thursday that a “wreck field” was discovered near the Titanic’s wreckage by a robot searching for a missing submarine. “Experts from Unified Command are evaluating the information,” the US Coast Guard tweeted. The crew had only four days of oxygen when the sub set sail across the North Atlantic at 6 am on Sunday.
Based on the information provided by the US Coast Guard and the company affiliated with the submarine’s voyage, the time frame for the oxygen to run out was between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm (Indian time).
Experts have said this is an estimate and that the deadline could be extended if those aboard the submarine take measures to conserve oxygen. And it is also not known whether they are alive since the submarine went missing on Sunday morning. Rescuers have sent more vessels to the location of the missing submarine.
ON THURSDAY, the US Coast Guard said that a robot sent by a Canadian ship reached the ocean floor and began searching for the submarine. Officials hope sound waves from the sea’s bottom can help them trace the submarine. Oceangate Expeditions, which is leading the voyage, is studying the environment around the Titanic inside the ocean through 2021 sea voyages.
Dr Rob Larter, a marine geophysicist at the British Antarctic Survey, described the difficulty in locating the submarine, which is about 22 feet long and nine feet high. He said You are shooting in complete darkness. Unless you have some information about the place, it isn’t easy; where Titanic went missing on Sunday, fog and (sea) storms are likely. This has made conducting search and rescue operations extremely challenging.
