A new trailer for the documentary, which can be viewed on UK’s UNILAD site, features audio that reveals knocking-like sounds were heard in the search area during the rescue mission. In the newly released clip, the documentary’s narrator recalls hopeful reports of pounding in 30-minute increments before the eerie sound plays.
“The symmetry between those strikes is very unusual,” said former Navy submarine captain Ryan Ramsey. “It’s rhythmic, like someone’s making that sound, and the fact that it’s repeating is really unusual.”

At the time, in June 2023, reports of sounds from search and rescue teams were confirmed by the US Coast Guard in a statement, saying a Canadian P-3 aircraft “detected underwater sounds in the search area”.
Shortly after, U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Briana Carter told PEOPLE that the claim that the sounds were coming from inside the vessel was not true.
“We have nothing at this time to indicate any kind of implosion or impact,” Carter said on June 21, three days after the submarine disappeared.

The Titan carried five passengers and went to the place of the sunken Titanic June 18, 2023. He lost signal with the Canadian expedition ship The polar prince “approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes” after diving.

According to the protocol, The polar prince conducted an initial search but then requested assistance from the Coast Guard after failing to locate the missing vessel. Maritime law places that jurisdiction under the US Coast Guard in Boston, which has been working with the Canadian Coast Guard to coordinate search and rescue teams.
On board the submarine were Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, along with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet and British billionaire Hamish Harding.
Equipped with 96 hours of oxygen, it was a race against time to find the submarine and free any potential survivors.

“This is a very complex search, and a unique team is working around the clock to use all available resources and expertise as quickly as possible in an effort to resolve this very complex problem,” a Coast Guard captain told reporters on June 20.
On June 22, the search ended. That day, the US Coast Guard confirmed that all five people were presumed dead after finding debris likely caused by a “catastrophic implosion”.
During that news conference, the Coast Guard said reports of “banging” sounds detected earlier this week were likely not sounds coming from Titan, because they were inconsistent with “catastrophic implosion”.
