A top-secret US Navy acoustic detection system first recorded the submarine implosion titan hours after the submersible began its mission last Sunday, according to the newspaper ‘The Wall Street Journal‘. The submersible, which disappeared during a dive to visit the wreckage of the Titanic, thus suffered a “catastrophic implosion”, and this could have occurred within a few hours of starting the trip.

This same newspaper collects that the US Navy began to listen to the Titan almost as soon as the submarine lost communications. Shortly after she disappeared, the system detected what they suspected might be the sound of an implosion.near the place where the Coast Guard located debris on Thursday of the submarine

“The United States Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly that could be an implosion or explosion in the vicinity where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,” a Navy official told The Wall Street Journal.

Although it has already been confirmed that the debris found belongs to the Titan, the collection of information will continue to determine the causes and time of the accident. They will also continue to focus their efforts on the search for the bodies of the five members of the expedition, something that becomes especially challenging due to the “unforgiving” conditions natural in the area.

The experts had established 7:08 a.m. local time (1:08 p.m. peninsular time in Spain) this Thursday as the approximate threshold at which the five people on board the Titan would run out of oxygen. The submarine disappeared on Sunday and, without any opening, the margin of survival on board was estimated at 96 hours.

On board the Titan were the founder of the company that organizes these expeditions, Stockton Rush, the British businessman and adventurer Hamish Harding, the French explorer Paul Henry Nargeolet, the Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman.
