Rescuers have detected noises repeating every 30 minutes from around the last known location of the Titan submersible. Could this make a rescue more likely?
Periodic banging sounds detected at 30-minute intervals near the wreck of the Titanic may mean that the lost Titan submersible is intact with its crew alive inside, and it could even be recoverable, experts say.
If the submersible is found, Thornton said, a remotely-operated underwater vehicle could bring it to the surface. Frank Owen, a former commander of the Australian Navy and ex-director of its submarine escape and rescue project, told BBC News he was confident the noises were coming from within the Titan.
Finding the TitanThe detection of the noises offers search and rescue teams some faint hope of finding the missing submersible, which could otherwise be lost among the Titanic's countless debris or carried miles from its initial diving site by powerful ocean currents.
