The commander of the Navy’s underground squadron reveals that signs of hope coming from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean show that there is still life aboard the Titan submersible. A Canadian military plane, involved in the search, detected blows every 30 minutes that, according to Commander Baptista Pereira, do not correspond to any alert established by NATO.
“In NATO there are a series of standards. You can almost exchange a few short messages, using some old Morse code logic, but you can’t. This was not what was detected”, recalls the commander of the Portuguese Navy. highlighting that the “standard what it says is: try every x time to make a noise that is perceptible to give a sign of life.”
The commander of the Navy underground squad considers that we can find ourselves before two hypotheses. “That area is very quiet and having detected a noise coming from exactly that direction, it could mean that two of the hypotheses that I have been referring to in recent days could be occurring. [o Titan] It’s on the bottom of the sea, structurally intact and therefore it hasn’t had a breakdown, it’s sitting on the bottom of the sea perfectly structurally intact, but they can’t come up or it could be attached to a structure like the Titanic.”
Baptista Pereira warns that there is only one way for someone on board to be rescued alive. The submersible has to be “fished” entirely from the bottom of the sea, which in that area has a depth of between three and four thousand meters.
“When we talk about rescue, we have to find a way to get the vehicle up. Only with a cable structure, obviously robust”, suggests the commander, stressing that the “ticking” of the clock does not help, since the oxygen available in the Titan capsule only lasts until Thursday morning.
The OceanGate-operated submersible lost contact with the surface last Sunday, and the Canadian and US coast guards launched a search and rescue operation. There are planes and ships dedicated to the search for the Titan, which has five people on board.
The device is used to visit the wreckage of the Titanic, which sank in April 1912. More than 1,500 people lost their lives.
