'Banging' sound heard by crew searching submersible near Titanic wreck: Report

Hindustan Times  

A Canadian aircraft searching the Titan submersible that vanished on its way to visit the wreck of the Titanic detected banging sounds in 30-minute intervals, according to US media reports. Citing an internal government memo on the search, reports suggest that the banging was being heard even after four hours following the deployment of additional sonar devices. Four hours later additional sonar was deployed and banging was still heard.” A subsequent update suggested more sounds were heard – not described as banging this time – indicating “continued hope of survivors.” A frantic search operation to locate the submersible in the North Atlantic entered its third day on Tuesday after it went missing while taking wealthy passengers on a voyage to the wreck of the Titanic in deep waters off Canada's coast. The 21-foot submersible was carrying three fee-paying passengers when it vanished Sunday: British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani tycoon Shahzada Dawood and Dawood's son Suleman.
