After the communication was severed, the American Navy had detected an explosion along with corresponding sounds in connection with the 'Titan.' An officer of the American Navy has revealed this information.

The submarine named Titan embarked on a journey towards the depths of the Atlantic Ocean last Saturday, carrying five divers to explore the remains of the Titanic. Shortly after the descent from the surface to the ocean floor, the submarine lost contact with the control room in its first two hours.

Rescuers discovered the wreckage of the submarine yesterday, following extensive underwater searches in the depths of the ocean floor.

According to a press conference by the United States Coast Guard, the remains of the Titan have been found near the wreckage of the Titanic in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. It is believed that the submarine has exploded.

The submarine was commissioned for underwater tourism by the U.S.-based private institution OceanGate. Yesterday, the organization confirmed that all five divers on board the submarine have died in this accident.

On the condition of anonymity, an officer of the American Navy informed CBS News that they quickly notified the U.S. Coast Guard about the information indicating the presence of corresponding sounds with the explosion. The U.S. Coast Guard utilized this information to narrow down the search area in the Atlantic Ocean for the exploration of the Titan.

The reason why this information about the identification of corresponding sounds with the explosion was not disclosed earlier is unclear.
