Rescue crews looking for the submersible vessel that went missing in the northern Atlantic Ocean are moving assets and focusing their search on an area where undersea noises have been detected, a US Coast Guard official has said.
While Captain Jamie Frederick said on Wednesday that authorities still do not know what these noises may be, he stressed that there is still hope to rescue the five people on board the sub, which was exploring the wreckage of the Titanic before it lost contact with the ship monitoring it on Sunday.
“When you’re in the middle of a search and rescue case, you always have hope. That’s why we’re doing what we do,” Frederick told reporters.
He said a Canadian aircraft first detected the noises on Tuesday, and they were also heard on Wednesday.

The Bermuda Triangle is no longer unique. Its curse jumps to the waters where the Titanic sunked. Soon the submarine will be added to the graveyard and be visited by humans.
Leave them where they are as a lesson to stop other wealthy people from doing silly endeavours.
2 Pxtanis spent $250,000 each to see some sunken ship while their countrymen fight for Flour 😮😮
This submarine have so many glaring safety concerns. The sub is not certified by any independent or third party to go that deep. The company and what would be remains of it along with the executive should be punish for wasting the government and people’s money.
The widows are shopping for new homes and richer men.
So far, I haven’t heard anything about what sort of sonar reflection a carbon fibre vessel is going to produce.
The rich looking for adventures ?
