Life signals from the submarine "Titan"? Internal Canadian Coast Guard email correspondence indicates that a series of "knocks" may have been heard coming from the vessel that disappeared on Sunday.
According to media reports in Canada and the United States, a Canadian Coast Guard submarine-detection Poseidon-8 was able to hear a series of "banging" from the heart of the sea in the area where the tiny submarine disappeared.

The Canadian Coast Guard declined to comment on the reports, but a statement from the Joint Task Force to Search and Rescue said a search was underway for a vessel that could reach the lost submarine.
Meanwhile, evidence of deficiencies in the management of the company operating the submarine was exposed in the past 24 hours. OceanGate Expeditions reportedly knew about safety flaws in the submarine it operated and fired an employee who spoke about it publicly.

As mentioned, the founder and CEO of the company Stockton also heads among those trapped. In an article broadcast on the American network CBS in which one of the reporters accompanied the head on one of the trips to the depths, the CEO showed how complex the process is. Among other things, there is no way to track the submarine from the surface of the sea using regular navigation tools, so the only way to manage the dive from the "mothership" is by text messages from the phone, which are stored by the ship and thus reveal its angle.
