A top-secret U.S. Navy listening system detected the implosion of the tourist submersible Titan shortly after its disappearance Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
According to the report, the unnamed, highly sensitive acoustic-detection system — used to spot enemy submarines — heard a sound consistent with an underwater implosion around the time the submersible went missing, and in the area where a debris field was found Thursday.The Navy told the Journal that while the data was not conclusive, it was relayed to the U.S. commander on scene conducting the search mission.
Rescue ships and planes searched an area the size of Connecticut for days looking for the craft, which was more than 2 miles below sea level when it went missing. Earlier Thursday, the U.S. Coast Guard said debris had been found about 1,600 feet from the Titanic, and that the five men onboard the submersible were dead. “This was a catastrophic implosion of the vessel,” Coast Guard Rear Adm. John Mauger said.
