A lawyer with almost 40 years of scuba diving experience has had a narrow escape after revealing he was supposed to be on board the Titanic submarine which has gone missing in the Atlantic.
David Concannon is an attorney and explorer who started diving at the age of 14. In the late 1980s he went on to become a 'New Jersey wreck diver' exploring a multitude of shipwrecks.
