Dan Walker brought Channel 5's live special on the missing Titanic sub to an immediate halt on Thursday night, as a statement came in from OceanGate Expeditions, confirming that the company responsible for the undersea trip believed everyone on board was now 'lost.'
When it was announced that Channel 5 had commissioned hour long broadcast Titanic Sub: Lost at Sea, the broadcaster was hit with immediate backlash from viewers, over the 'bad timing' of the show, given that the oxygen supply to the submersible was set to run out just hour earlier, as the family of the five passengers onboard hoped and prayed for a miracle.
Around two hours before Lost at Sea was due to air, a big update about the missing submarine came in, as debris was found in the search area scoured by those involved in the rescue mission, as it was swiftly followed up by claims that the debris belonged to the Titan. Former BBC Breakfast Dan was at the helm of the live special, as he was joined by experts in the studio, to profile the five men on board and examine the chances of a successful rescue.
