Response: Mauger applauded the “huge international” and “interagency” search effort.The Coast Guard official said the agency will eventually have more information about what went wrong and its assessment of the emergency response. It will take time to determine a specific timeline of events in the "incredibly complex" case of the Titan's failure, Mauger said. What comes next: The remotely operated vehicles will remain on the scene and continue to gather information, Mauger said.Mauger, for his part, said rescuers had sonar buoys in the water for at least the last 72 hours and had "not detected any catastrophic events." Listening devices set up during the search also did not record any sign of an implosion, Mauger added. But the sound was determined to be “not definitive,” the official said. Timing: The US Navy detected an acoustic signature consistent with an implosion on Sunday and relayed that information to the commanders leading the search effort, a senior official told CNN.As of now, there does not appear to be a connection between the banging noises picked up by sonar earlier this week and where the debris was found. The debris was "consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber" and, in turn, a " catastrophic implosion," he said. Debris: The remotely operated vehicle found " five different major pieces of debris" from the Titan submersible, according to Paul Hankins, the US Navy's director of salvage operations and ocean engineering.
