Titan Sub Tragedy: Publicized banging noises that misled people into believing passengers were still alive

A terrifying video has surfaced that shows the strange pounding noises that were heard under the Atlantic Ocean, leading some people to believe that the Titan submersible’s passengers were still alive. Minute by Minute: The audio was originally broadcast for the general audience as part of the forthcoming Channel 5 British documentary, The Titan Sub Disaster. The sounds like someone “knocking” on a metal object.

Viewers will be able to explore the day that OceanGate’s submersible vanished in the North Atlantic while carrying five passengers: Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions; British billionaire Hamish Harding; Paul Henry Nargeolet, a French diver; and Shahzada Dawood, a businessman from Pakistan, along with his son Suleman. On June 18, the submersible set off on its voyage. The spacecraft lost communication with the Polar Prince, the support vessel that brought it to the location, about an hour and forty-five minutes into its descent.

The pounding noises that suggested the passengers could still be alive can be heard in a teaser for the documentary, which is available to see on the British website UNILAD.

“The way those knocks are symmetrical is really unusual,” remarks Captain Ryan Ramsey, a former Navy submarine. “It’s rhythmic, sounds like someone making that sound, and it’s really unusual that it’s repeated.”

What noises did the banging make?
A submarine specialist said that the noises at the time indicated that the five individuals on board were still alive, calling it “encouraging.”

Although the source of the hammering noises could not be definitively identified, specialists have developed a number of possibilities. There might be other reasons, according to Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution specialist Carl Hartsfield, who spoke with CBS News. “Obviously, the ocean is a very complex place with human sounds and natural sounds, and it can be very challenging to identify the sources of those noises at times,” he said.

According to Jeff Karson, an emeritus professor of earth and environmental sciences at Syracuse University, who spoke to Daily Mail, the sound might have been a “complicated echo” caused by noises reverberating off the Titanic debris field. It just isn’t bouncing off of a single object. It is bouncing off a lot of objects. It’s similar like tossing a stone into a can of tin. It would be difficult to find the place since it is shaking about,” he stated.

According to Stefan Williams, a marine robotics expert at the University of Sydney, they could have also been created by aquatic animals like whales, as reported by Insider.

The submersible imploded catastrophically, killing every passenger.
