Depending on how long they’d already been underwater at that point, that means that, assuming a hull breach didn’t kill them instantly, that they’ve used up at least 63 hours of oxygen.
This is going to become a salvage operation very soon.
Titanic tourist submarine missing 6-19-2023 (Debris field found, passengers presumed dead. 06-22-23)
Sooooo… a Navy sonabuoy picked up this sound? If that’s the case they should be able to locate it quickly.
Wouldn’t pounding on a composite hull make more of a ‘thumping’ sound?
It was constructed with a carbon fiber tube, with titanium end caps.
FWIW (my emphasis):

@BNONews“Banging sounds” were detected on Monday close to where the Titanic sub went missing and it continued for several hours at 30-minute intervals - Rolling Stone

Sounds were heard today in the area where the Titanic sub went missing, in addition to “banging sounds” reported earlier - CNN
Any chance that “they” have known the sub’s position very nearly since jump – it’s just that it’s been that hard to get a capable rescue vessel and/or technique assembled?
As in: If this same exact thing had happened in 2,000 ft depths, the sub would already have been recovered.
Are we eventually going to find out that the CEO has been hiding in the attic this whole time?
Years from now people will visit the wrecks of Titanic and Titan in the submersible Tit.
Banging noises? That usually means ghosts, right?
What is the MUV industry mentioned in the letter? Marine Utility Vehicle?
Manned Underwater Vehicles.

Is the banging coming through as

The US Coast Guard confirms the banging. 30 min intervals wouldn’t be natural sounds. The odds of a rescue are still unlikely.
With posts like that, please post more often! Very well played.
How would the submersible resurface under normal circumstances?
No, it is too dark down there, they are using braille.
Belly up?
Unlikely, since you can be sure they all signed an “at your own risk” paper before they set off.
Amazing (if true) that, through at least 3 or 4 kilometers of water, a device can detect someone banging on the inside of a submersible.
The BBC reports that “The US Coast Guard has confirmed that a Canadian P-3 aircraft detected “underwater noises” in a search area for the missing Titanic sub”
Apparently a “banging” sound.
