With a search area covering thousands of miles - twice the size of Connecticut and in waters 2 1/2 miles (4 kilometers) deep - rescuers all week rushed ships, planes and other equipment to the site of the disappearance.īroadcasters around the world started newscasts at the critical hour Thursday with news of the submersible. The Navy’s possible clue was not known publicly until Thursday, when The Wall Street Journal first reported it. While the Navy likely detected the implosion Sunday through its acoustics system, underwater sounds heard Tuesday and Wednesday - which initially gave hope for a possible rescue - were probably unrelated to the submersible. The Coast Guard will continue searching for more signs about what happened to the Titan. The company’s office was “closed indefinitely while the staff copes with the tragic loss of their team member,” according to a statement Thursday by the Port of Everett, which is about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of downtown Seattle and is home to OceanGate. The company has not responded to additional questions about the Titan’s voyage this week. OceanGate has been chronicling the Titanic’s decay and the underwater ecosystem around it via yearly voyages since 2021.
