The US Coast Guard affirms that "the origin of the noise" detected in the search for the Titan is unknown.

MADRID, 21 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The United States Coast Guard has admitted that at the moment "the origin of the noise" detected during operations to try to locate the Titan submersible in Atlantic waters is unknown, although it has stated that at least now these possible signals are "a objective" to pursue in the race against time to try to locate and rescue alive the five people who disappeared on an expedition to the wreckage of the Titanic.

The person in charge of this search, John Mauger, has promised in an interview with CBS News that they will continue to search "as long as there is any chance of survival" of the missing. Experts estimate that the capsule will run out of oxygen on Thursday, although it is not clear that, once located, it can be refloated.

Canadian aircraft detected some underwater noises on Wednesday of which hardly any details have been revealed, in a milestone that the teams involved in the search are still analyzing. Mauger has explained that there are many metallic objects in the area where contact with the Titan was lost, sought from the surface but also from the air – in case it could have come to the surface.

The submersible disappeared on Sunday about 700 kilometers off the Newfoundland coast, with no clues to its whereabouts at the moment. She lost contact with the surface less than two hours after starting the dive, and experts early estimated that oxygen on board could last up to 96 hours, in the best case scenario.
