Search crews are desperately searching for five people who are trapped inside a submarine that disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean. There may be a ray of hope as the crews have detected possible signs of life coming from the vessel. An internal U.S. government memo revealed that the crews heard banging noises in 30-minute intervals on their sonars. The submarine went missing two days earlier while on a tourist exploration to see the wreckage of the Titanic.
The report mentioned that additional sonar devices were deployed and picked up even more banging sounds. The duration of the second batch of sounds was unclear. The internal document stated that the additional acoustic feedback could assist in directing surface assets to the location of the submarine and also gives hope for the survival of the passengers.
In addition to the banging noises, a Canadian P-3 military aircraft reportedly spotted a white rectangular object in the ocean. However, further investigation has not been possible due to the ongoing focus on the banging noises. The U.S. Coast Guard shared the information about the rectangular object with the U.S. Navy for future analysis and search plans.
The authorities, aware of the limited oxygen supply, are in a race against time to find the submarine and rescue the five passengers. The submarine had 96 hours of oxygen when it launched on Sunday, but that number has now been reduced to only 40 hours on Tuesday. As Wednesday arrives, each passing hour becomes crucial.
