The U.S. navy has confirmed its acoustic sensors detected on Sunday “an anomaly consistent with an implosion” in the area where the doomed submersible Titan was operating several hours before the vessel was reported missing.
In an email, a senior U.S. navy official said an analysis of the acoustic data was shared with the “unified command” leading the search for the vessel with five people aboard, the wreckage of which was discovered Thursday near the Titanic.
The navy official said the finding was not definitive, adding that the information was considered with acoustic data provided by other partners in the search, which was led by the U.S. Coast Guard. But information about the anomaly wasn’t shared with the public until after the Titan’s wreckage was found and all five passengers were presumed dead.
Meanwhile, a Canadian military official confirmed Friday that the Canadian Coast Guard vessel John Cabot would be remaining in the search area to help with the recovery operation, though no details were released.Sign up for the CHEK Now daily email newsletter to get breaking news and the day's top stories sent to your email.
