A “debris field” was discovered in the North Atlantic near the wreck of the titanic by a robot participating in international research to find a scientific tourism submersible missing since Sunday, announced Thursday, June 22, the US Coast Guard. According to them, “Iexperts examine this information” while the theoretical reserves of oxygen aboard the submersible carrying five people are exhausted.
Rescuers had estimated at 1:08 p.m. (French time) the time at which passengers could run out of oxygen on board the Titan, a small deep-sea explorer from the American private company OceanGate Expeditions. Missing since Sunday, the machine has a theoretical autonomy of 96 hours in diving.
Wednesday’s announcement of the detection of underwater noises by Canadian P-3 aircraft had raised hopes and guided the multinational armada of rescuers dispatched to the scene, without the origin of the noises being determined.
