The US Coast Guard said it found a “place with debris” in the area of the search operation.
How writes CNN, ROV found in debris field. Experts evaluate the information received.
In any case, as previously reported, the submarine’s oxygen supplies should have run out by the middle of today. The search operation, unfortunately, yielded no results.
The Polar Prince, the research vessel that launched the Titan, remains a search command center located near the Titanic’s wreck. Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) equipped with cameras will scan the depths of the seabed throughout the day.
A spokesman for Pelagic Research Services confirmed to CNN that his remote-operated vehicle, which was the first to search for the missing OceanGate submarine on the seafloor, found the debris field. An expert says debris fields near the Titanic are not uncommon, but officials may have seen something special.
Rescuers search the subsurface area at a depth of about 4 km to find the missing Titan. It’s a harsh environment, writes the BBC, more like space than life on Earth. The Titanic is located in an area called the Midnight Zone, known for its freezing temperatures and perpetual darkness.
