A Titan sub documentary has already aired and viewers had 'uneasy reactions': 'Too soon' [1]

['Rusty Blazenhoff']

Date: 2023-06-23

UK broadcaster Channel 5 showed Titanic Sub: Lost At Sea on the very same day that all five Titan submersible passengers were announced dead. The documentary, created by ITN, a UK production company known for fast-turnaround films responsive to current events, aired Thursday evening and was presented by 5 News host Dan Walker.

As it began airing, rescue efforts were still going and discussion centered on the Titan running out of oxygen. Shortly before the program started, debris from the submersible was reported near the Titanic shipwreck site, and during the broadcast, OceanGate Expeditions confirmed the tragic death of all five passengers.

The Independent reports that the film "has drawn uneasy reactions from viewers."
