A TikTok user named 'iHelaz' suggests that a shark tracking app may have inadvertently discovered the Lost OceanGate Titan submarine using its tracking signal. The OceanGate sub, used for deep-sea exploration, has been missing since its last dive in February. The theory posted by the TikToker gains considerable attention on social media, with many users expressing interest in the possibility that the app may be the key to solving the mystery.

OceanGate Titan Submarine

The OceanGate Titan is a submersible used for a variety of research purposes, from exploring the Mariana Trench to studying deep-sea life. The vessel, which is controlled by an operator from above the surface, can dive to depths of up to 4,000 meters. It was last seen on a dive off the coast of Florida, and despite extensive search efforts, authorities have not been able to locate it.

In the TikToker's video titled 'Submarine found with Shark Live Tracker Application,' he claims that using a shark tracking app, specifically 'Shark Tracker,' may have led to the discovery of the sub. The theory suggests that the app, which is designed to monitor the movements of tagged sharks in real-time, may have picked up the signal from the submarine's tracking system, which may still be operational.

The OceanGate Titan is equipped with some of the most advanced technology available for underwater exploration. If this theory proves true, it would be a truly remarkable breakthrough in solving this missing submarine mystery. However, many experts remain skeptical about the validity of the claim.

Expert Opinion

'It's not anything that's designed to detect underwater objects like submarines,' says marine biologist and National Geographic Explorer Dr. Larry Sch field, who has worked on many research submersibles.

Another expert, marine biologist and expedition leader Mike Dicks, does not believe the app would be capable of detecting traces of the sub: 'You'd have to have some sort of device very, very close to the Titan's transponder and transmitter and detector, and that doesn't exist yet.'

Regardless, the TikToker's video garners significant attention on social media, with many expressing curiosity about the plausibility of their theory. The search for the missing OceanGate Titan continues, with authorities utilizing a variety of methods in their pursuit to locate the vessel, including sonar technology. While this claim may seem far-fetched, it encapsulates the ongoing fascination surrounding this mysterious disappearance.

The OceanGate Titan disappearance sparked various other speculations and theories, but so far, there has yet to be any concrete answers as to what happened to the missing sub. As the search remains relentless, perhaps this theory highlights our relentless desire to solve any and all mysteries and unanswered questions.
