Titanic curses: Is missing sub fated to be deposited in Davy Jones’s locker?

Marine authorities from Canada, France, and the US are utilising all their resources to find the missing submersible Titan, which lost contact with the world Sunday after an hour and a half into the sea — nearly 1,450km east and 643km south of Newfoundland —  with five people onboard left with less than 24 hours of oxygen.

The OceanGate-owned Titan was launched from the Polar Prince — the submersible’s mothership — at 08:00 local time which was thought to come back to the sea surface at 15:00 Instead, it lost contact.

According to the Coast Guard, they were intimated about the missing submersible after eight hours.

In the latest update, a Canadian search plane detected some underwater banging or noises with deep-sea experts saying it is hard to determine what these noises might be.

However, according to media reports, it is suggested that it could be short, sharp, relatively high-frequency noises by hitting a hard object against the end of the sub.

Authorities are also searching through the air in case of submersible emerged on the surface.
