The US Coast Guard Says They’ve Found Debris Near the Titanic Tour Sub Search Area

The missing Titanic Tour Sub has still not been found.

What’s even worse is that their oxygen may have likely ran out.

And the latest update surrounding the submersible vessel comes from a debris field.

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, a field of debris was located by an ROV that was near the Titanic submersible search area.

Authorities are currently evaluating the current information about the debris field.

However it is currently unclear if it is connected to the missing submersible.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with an ROV, an ROV is a remotely operated underwater vehicle which can plunge deep into the ocean.

The ROV is currently searching for the submersible on the sea floor explained the US Coast Guard’s Northeast District in a recent tweet.

Along with the ROV that is currently scouring the sea floor, another ROV from a French vessel has also been deployed and equipment from Magellan will also be assisting.

Keep in mind that aircraft are also scanning their assigned search zone as well as medical staff that are currently on scene.

“Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information,” the Coast Guard said. It is unclear if this debris field is connected to the missing submersible. The Coast Guard said it plans to host a press briefing at 3 p.m. ET to “discuss findings from the Horizon Arctic’s ROV on the sea floor near the Titanic.”
