Fresh hopes have been sparked in the hunt for the missing submersible, Titan, with the discovery of underwater noises. The sounds were picked up using buoys with underwater sonar capabilities while searching for the vessel. While the US Coast Guard has reported negative results in the investigation of the noises, experts believe that the sounds being heard after 30-minute intervals is a great sign and it is unlikely they are from another submarine. The search for the submersible continues, with at least five ships in the area and five more expected to arrive soon. If the vessel is still intact, it is suggested to have less than 24 hours of oxygen left for its five occupants. Experts warn that while the underwater noises are good news, it may be premature to give false hope. Moreover, the lack of oxygen is key and search teams face a frantic race against time to not just locate the submersible but also rescue its occupants. Depending on the extent of the damage to the vessel, this may prove to be a herculean task given its remote location and the hostile conditions at the depth it has reached.
