The US Coast Guard has issued a statement after “banging noises” were noted in the massive search for the missing Titanic sub.

It has been days since OceanGate’s Titan went silent and lost all contact with its mothership, leaving five crew members who were excited to visit the Titanic wreckage trapped 12,000 feet underwater with little hope of rescue.

According to the latest developments, rescue teams have now picked up a series of banging sounds using Canadian P-3 aircraft.

Experts explained that the banging noises could possibly be coming from Titan’s crew who might be attempting to alert rescuers of their presence.

Unfortunately, the search to investigate the origin of these noises has so far yielded nothing but negative results.

“Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area. As a result, ROV operations were relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises. Those ROV searches have yielded negative results but continue,” the USCG shared in a tweet at 12:18 pm on June 21.

“Additionally, the data from the P-3 aircraft has been shared with our U.S. Navy experts for further analysis which will be considered in future search plans.”

Meanwhile, Rolling Stone revealed that maritime patrol aircraft P8 Poseidon detected noises coming from the area where Titan was last seen.

“RCC Halifax launched a P8, Poseidon, which has underwater detection capabilities from the air,” an internal e-mail that was sent to the Department of Homeland Security read, Rolling Stone reported.

“The P8 deployed sonobuoys, which reported a contact in a position close to the distress position. The P8 heard banging sounds in the area every 30 minutes. Four hours later additional sonar was deployed and banging was still heard.”
