Rescuers detect 'underwater noises' in hunt for lost Titanic sub

BOSTON — Rescuers searching for a missing tourist submersible near the wreck of the Titanic have detected"underwater noises" in the search area, the United States Coast Guard said Wednesday , with the five on board estimated to have less than 24 hours of oxygen left.

"Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area. As a result, ROV operations were relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises," the US Coast Guard's First District said on its official Twitter page. The US Coast Guard announcement is the most encouraging sign yet that those on board may still be alive.

"This is a very complex search and the unified team is working around the clock to bring all available assets and expertise to bear as quickly as possible," US Coast Guard Captain Jamie Frederick told reporters."Logistically speaking, it's hard to bring assets to bear. It takes time, it takes coordination," he added.

Mr David Lochridge cited the company's"experimental and untested design of the Titan" in a court filing.On board are Briton Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman, OceanGate Expeditions CEO Stockton Rush and French submarine operator Paul-Henri Nargeolet, nicknamed"Mr Titanic" for his frequent dives at the site.

Mr Harding, 58, is no stranger to daredevil activities and has three Guinness world records to his name.Mr Shahzada Dawood and Mr Suleman Dawood hail from one of Pakistan's richest families, which runs Karachi-headquartered conglomerate Engro, with investments in energy, agriculture, petrochemicals and telecommunications.
