Sonar Detects Eerie 'Banging Sounds' From Ocean Depths During Search For Missing Titanic Tourist Sub

perezhilton.com:

The Titanic-bound tourist submarine that has gone missing somewhere in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean may have been the source of eerie “banging sounds” picked up by sonar equipment in recent days.

According to a newly-unearthed government memo on the matter, rescue crews heard “banging sounds” spread out in roughly 30-minute intervals early this week.

Those sounds were coming from the depths of the ocean near where the OceanGate Expeditions sub first went missing on Sunday morning.

Per Rolling Stone, which first obtained an “internal email” sent to the Department of Homeland Security, government officials reported that search and rescue crews heard the banging sounds while combing the ocean floor using high-powered sonar equipment.

Referencing the Royal Canadian Air Force — which has deployed a P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft to aid in the ocean search — the email reportedly read: Whoa… And the banging sounds apparently didn’t stop there, either.
