'Hope': Banging sounds heard in missing OceanGate Titan submersible search at Titanic site | #HeyJB



A Canadian military surveillance aircraft detected underwater noises as a massive search continued early Wednesday in a remote part of the North Atlantic for a submersible that vanished while taking five people down to the wreck of the Titanic.

A statement from the U.S. Coast Guard did not elaborate on what rescuers believed the noises could be, though it offered a glimmer of hope for those lost abroad the Titan as estimates suggest as little as a day’s worth of oxygen could be left if the vessel is still functioning.

Meanwhile, questions remain about how teams could reach the lost submersible, which could be as deep as about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the surface near the watery tomb of the historic ocean liner. Newly uncovered allegations also suggest there had been significant warnings made about vessel safety during its development.

  1. Let me understand this. Billionaires sign their life away to go on a submarine, have an accident, and now my taxpayer dollars need to try to save them. This at the same time when many Americans are starving due to the Bidenflation and failed Biden Administration policies.

  2. This just in: at 12:00pm Los Angeles time, after a four day operation to locate and retrieve the Titan submersible, Oceangate has determined that the Titan suffered a massive implosion after reaching the cruise ship Titanic. The debris field of Titan was discovered roughly 1600 feet from the bow of Titanic. Any further information will be forthcoming. May they rest in peace.

  3. Wonder if there were a sudden squeak or bang just before that thing imploded…IF it imploded? Remember, rescue teams did hear some continuous banging sounds… Have the sounds now stopped??? If not, what is making the sounds? I hope one of the reporters ask…

  5. The Titanic is only famous because it was marketed as unsinkable.
    And we all know what happened.
    It wasn't about the passengers, the elegancy or the food, etc…
    And we all know the aftermath.
    The fascination is I saw the CRACK!
    Now if I had a free chance between going to the Moon and going to the farrest depths of the Ocean.
    Without question I would prefer going to the Moon.
    #1. Is much more feasible going to the Moon then to the farthest depths of the Ocean.
    #2. With today's technology I think it's much more safer as well.
    #3. And it has been proven that you can survive up there more than 4 days.
    #5. And to sum it up, the odds are greater for survival.
    And you can literally concoct your own submarine contraption in your garage or your backyard.
    Put it on your homemade trailer and tow it to the nearest boat ramp or your homemade floating device and tow it out to Sea.
    And voilà… Bon voyage!
