Authorities are hoping underwater sounds might help narrow their search, whose coverage area has been expanded to thousands of miles - twice the size of Connecticut and in waters 2 1/2 miles deep. Coast Guard officials said underwater noises were detected in the search area Tuesday and Wednesday.
Newly uncovered allegations suggest there had been significant warnings made about vessel safety during the submersible's development. The U.S. Navy said in a statement Wednesday that it was sending a specialized salvage system that's capable of hoisting"large, bulky and heavy undersea objects such as aircraft or small vessels."
"We would not like to speculate on the circumstances of this incident and we would also like to respect the wishes of the Dawood family that their privacy may be respected," she said.
