The Coast Guard has scheduled a news conference for 3 p.m. in Boston to discuss the discovery of the debris field. The debris was located by a remotely operated vehicle that reached the ocean floor Thursday.
Before the remote vehicle reached the floor, the search for the missing submersible in the North Atlantic Ocean was concentrated to the area where "banging" noises were detected underwater, though officials were unsure of the source of the sound.
“The ocean is a very complex place — human sounds, nature sounds — and it’s very difficult to determine the source of those sounds," Carl Hartsfield, director and senior program manager of Oceanographic Systems Laboratory, said at the news conference. “The noises have been described as banging noises, but they have to put the whole picture together in context and they have to eliminate potential manmade sources other than the [missing OceanGate Expeditions vessel] Titan.”
The Titan has a 96-hour oxygen supply, which expired as of Thursday morning—though an expert told BBC News that those onboard might survive longer than expected.
"It depends on how cold they get and how effective they are at conserving oxygen," Dr. Ken LeDez, a hyperbaric medicine expert at Memorial University in St John's, Newfoundland, told the outlet, adding that shivering will use up a lot of oxygen, while wrapping up in a huddle can help to conserve heat.

The debris was found around 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
