The US Coast Guard has confirmed that a Canadian aircraft has detected a 'banging noise' while looking for the missing submersible containing 5 people. During a press conference, the US Coast Guard announced that a "banging noise" was heard by Canadian aircraft. Reports indicate that on Wednesday, authorities detected these banging noises, which were coming from underwater within the OceanGate submersible search area. According to the US Coast Guard, these banging sounds came in 30-minute intervals, and efforts to pinpoint exactly where they were coming from have so far been unsuccessful. Captain Jamie Frederick of the US Coast Guard said, "The important piece is we're searching in the area where the noises were detected."
