Scots This Morning contributor Isla Traquair said it's important "to acknowledge all lives lost at sea". The TV host was appearing on the ITV show on Friday where she highlighted the fact that she believes the implosion of the Titan sub has overshadowed the devastating fate of hundreds of Pakistani migrants who are believed to have died when a boat they were travelling in capsized last week.
The boat had been travelling off the coast of Greece when the tragedy took place and more than 300 people were killed. Isla said: "I think it's important to acknowledge and we should have space for more than one tragedy."
"Of course, up to potentially 750 people who were on that capsized migrant vessel of Greece, there is at least 100 children there.
"But, because of, of course, the Titan, the Titanic, the fact these five people were all wealthy – there's just way more attention and resources that have gone that way.
"I think we do need to acknowledge all those lives lost sea."
Alison Hammond thanked the journalist for her comments as she said: "I love the fact you've just brought it to the attention of the nation – thank you, deepest sympathy with all the families involved."
The Mirror reports the chairman of Pakistan's Senate, Muhammed Sadiq Sanjrani, announced the number of those onboard as he offered the country's deepest condolences to their loved ones.
"This devastating incident underscores the urgent need to address and condemn the abhorrent act of illegal human trafficking," he said.
Discussing the recent tragedy surrounding the Titan vessel imploding, Dermot explained that there was proof of a "catastrophic implosion" before adding that the five men onboard were announced dead, as an emotional Alison shook her head.
He continued: "A senior official in the navy confirmed an existing secret system designed to pick up audio heard the sound consisting with an implosion, I think on Sunday but obviously it wasn't conclusive so they had to carry on searching.
"The one thing that any expert you see interviewed all the television just says well, at least they died instantly."
Isla added: "It is the only thing of comfort I guess for the families that they wouldn't have even known.
"The pressure down there it's huge as 4000 tonnes per metre this it's like the weight of the Eiffel Tower, so if there was any crack or anything, we wouldn't have known, it would go quick."
She added: "There has already been criticism and speculation about the fact that this is completely unregulated.
"The fact there's been concerns about the vessels before they went down there and also who is responsible, this is unchartered territory, who is responsible for this? This is extreme tourism."
Earlier we reported a teenager from Strathclyde University 'felt terrified' about his upcoming trip on the Titanic submersible, a family member has said.
The aunt of Suleman Dawood, 19, revealed that the lad 'wasn't very up for' the tragic trip, only going on the Titan with his dad as it was Father's Day. On Thursday evening, US Coast Guard confirmed he and four others in the vessel are is now believed to be dead after debris was found on the ocean floor, consistent with the submarine imploding.
Suleman made the trip alongside his father Shahzada, the sub's pilot and chief executive Stockton Rush, British businessman and explorer Hamish Harding and French national Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
