A new video released by the U.S. Coast Guard Thursday shows the moment that the team above the Titan submersible lost communication with the vessel.
The video shows the tracking team aboard the support vessel “Polar Prince”, as they heard a sound that has been determined to coincide with the moment the Polar Prince lost communication and could no longer track the Titan sub.
In the video, viewers can hear Wendy Rush, part of the communications and tracking team, say that the Titan sub should be about 500 meters down.
She then stops mid-sentence after hearing a sound.

Rush can be seen turning to Gary Floss, who was another member of the team, and asking what that noise was.
The Coast Guard Determined that the sound happened at the same time as the Titan lost contact, and is believed to be the sound of the Titan’s implosion reaching the surface of the ocean.
