Reuters quoted information from the US Coast Guard as saying that on June 20, a Canadian aircraft detected loud banging noises every 30 minutes near the area where the Titan submarine went missing. About four hours later, rescuers dropped more sonobuoys and still heard the sound. However, it is not clear where the sound originated, exactly when it started and how long it lasted. An internal US government memo update late on June 20 said that rescuers detected other sounds, but not banging. "The sounds will assist in orienting surface equipment, indicating hope for survivors," the update said. In addition, a Canadian P3 aircraft also detected a white rectangular object. However, a ship scheduled to be deployed to examine the object later diverted to support the investigation of loud banging noises in the Titan search area. Canadian and American rescue teams continue to coordinate the search for the Titan submersible after the ship carrying five people went missing while diving to explore the wreck of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean on the morning of June 18. US and Canadian ships and planes have searched an area of ​​nearly 20,000 square kilometers, which is larger than the US state of Connecticut. However, the chances of finding the Titan intact and its passengers alive are getting narrower because the amount of oxygen on board is estimated to be enough until noon on June 22.
