In the early morning of June 21 local time, the US Coast Guard said that a Canadian P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft detected underwater noise while searching the area of the missing submersible.
The US Coast Guard said that the searchers then moved the underwater robot to the area where the noise was found to search. However, these searches "produced negative results". The Coast Guard did not specify what the negative results were, but said it would continue to search.
The statement did not specify what the rescuers thought the noise might be, but it still brought a glimmer of hope for the rescue of the missing submersible. It is estimated that if the submersible is still in operation, the personnel on the submersible will only have one day's oxygen supply.
The US Coast Guard said that at present, the US naval experts have obtained the shared data of the Canadian P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft, and the experts will further analyze it to help improve the follow-up search plan.
It is reported that the submersible disappeared due to the exploration of the wreckage of the Titanic, with a total of 5 passengers on board. The Coast Guard and Navy of the United States and Canada have deployed several sonar equipped search aircraft and ships, and sent diving medical and rescue experts to the region. It is estimated that the submersible may be located in an area about 3800 meters below the surface, and the problem of how the search and rescue team can reach the location of the missing submersible still exists.
