However, the authorities cannot yet confirm the origin of these noises.
When did the submarine disappear near the Titanic?
Communications with the Titan they got lost last sunday shortly after diving towards the wreckage of the Titanic, located at a depth of almost 4,000 meters and about 600 km from the island of Newfoundland, in the North Atlantic.
