A “debris field” has been discovered within the search area for missing submersible Titan by a remotely-operated vehicle near the wreckage of the Titanic, the US Coast Guard said. The US Coast Guard said experts were “evaluating the information” after a debris field was discovered by a remotely operated vehicle searching for the missing Titan submersible near the wreck of the Titanic.
The Coast Guard had said earlier on Thursday that it is still treating the mission as an “active search and rescue”, despite hopes fading as the expected 96-hour oxygen supply onboard dwindled.
The US Coast Guard said a remotely-operated vehicle from the Canadian Horizon Arctic ship found debris on the sea floor near the Titanic wreckage.
