Played for the first time in a new documentary, the sound has a regular, steady beat which caught the attention of experts - and sparked hopes that they could be SOS signals from those on board.
The 'banging' sound that kept the hopes of families and rescuers alive in the search for the doomed Titan submersible has been revealed for the first time in chilling new audio.
'It could be somebody knocking, the symmetry between those knockings is very unusual,' former Navy Submarine Captain Ryan Ramsey tells the documentary. French Navy veteran PH Nargeolet was in the sub along with Stockton Rush , CEO of the OceanGate Expedition The world was gripped as rescuers urgently doubled their efforts to track down the missing sub before oxygen was expected to run out.
Minute by Minute: The Titan Sub Disaster details the events leading up to Titan's ill-fated expedition to the Titanic wreck. According to experts, the 'banging' could have been from search equipment in the area, marine life such as whales or even just sounds from the depths of the Atlantic The five passengers started to descend as Rush piloted the vessel, but at 9.45am - an hour and 45 minutes into the dive - it lost contact with its Polar Prince mothership.
Confirming the worst fears, it was revealed on June 22 that debris form the imploded sub was found near the site of the Titanic. Debris from the Titan submersible, recovered from the ocean floor near the wreck of the Titanic, is unloaded from the ship Horizon Arctic at the Canadian Coast Guard pier 'The ocean is a very noisy place with passing ships, submarines, fishing vessels, and indeed search vessels in this case.'
