The United States Coast Guard has reported at dawn this Wednesday that an aircraft has detected underwater noises in the area where the Titan submarine is being searched for, which disappeared on Sunday during a dive to visit the remains of the 'Titanic'.

"Canadian aircraft have detected underwater noises in the search area. As a result, the remote-controlled vehicle (ROV) -- underwater robot -- has been relocated in an attempt to explore the source of the noises," reads a statement posted on Twitter.

"ROV searches have returned negative results but are continuing. In addition, data from the (Canadian) aircraft has been shared with our US Navy experts for further analysis to be considered in future search plans," the ROV said. Coast Guard.

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 estimate that the oxygen on board can last up to 96 hours, in the best of scenarios.
