Dan Walker found himself the target of fierce complaints from viewers as he hosted Channel 5's live special on the missing Titanic submarine on Thursday night.
The Titan vessel, specifically a submersible, has been off the radar since losing contact with its mother ship, the Polar Prince, as it headed down in the North Atlantic to visit the wreckage of Titanic on Sunday. Five passengers are on board Titan - 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.
As their families pray for a miracle, a crucial point of the rescue mission passed just after 12pm UK time on Thursday, when the oxygen supply to the Titan was estimated to have ended. There was another important update early on in the evening, when it was reported that debris was found in the search area, with it then confirmed that the debris was thought to be the landing frame and rear cover from the missing sub.
