According to the US Coast Guard, a Canadian aircraft detected underwater noises while searching for a submersible that went missing while transporting five people to the Titanic’s wreckage.

The search has been redirected as a result of the noises detected by the Canadian P-3 aircraft. Those searches had yielded no results, but they are still ongoing.

Aside with an international fleet of ships and planes, an underwater robot had begun looking near the Titanic, and there was a drive to get recovery equipment to the location in case the sub was discovered.

Three US military C-17 cargo planes were deployed to bring commercial submersibles and support equipment from Buffalo, New York, to St. John’s, Newfoundland, to aid in the search, according to a representative for US Air Mobility Command. According to the Canadian military, it contributed a patrol aircraft and two surface ships, one of which specializes in dive medical.

The carbon-fiber sailboat went missing Sunday night, prompting authorities to launch a search in waters approximately 700 kilometers south of St. John’s. Stockton Rush, the CEO of the corporation leading the trip, was at the controls. A British adventurer, two members of a Pakistani business family, and a Titanic expert were among his passengers.
