Channel 5's Dan Walker to host 'live' missing submarine special as viewers disgusted

Dan Walker is set to host a live TV special on the missing Titanic submarine on Thursday night, as disgusted viewers continue to hit out at Channel 5 for commissioning the show, which will air hours after the oxygen on the vessel runs out.

On Sunday, five passengers embarked on the underwater trip aboard the Titan submersible, owned by OceanGate Expeditions, heading to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean in the hope of seeing the wreckage of the Titanic, 111 years on from the famous liner's devastating disaster at sea. However, since all contact was lost between the Titan and its mother ship, the Polar Prince., there has been no trace of the sub its passengers.

The five people on board the missing submarine are: OceanGate Expeditions CEO Stockton Rush, billionaire explorer Hamish Harding, renowned French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman.
