Channel 5 has rearranged its schedule for tonight (Thursday, June 22) to include a Dan Walker documentary titled Titanic Sub: Lost at Sea.
The documentary will be all about the missing tourist submersible, Titan, carrying five crew members consisting of British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood and his son, French diver Paul-Henri Nargolet, and the CEO of the company Stockton Rush, who was piloting the vessel.
The craft was estimated to have a 96-hour oxygen supply when it left the ship on the morning of Sunday, June 18, which ran out at 12:08 pm today. The US Coastguard has said that it “remains hopeful” as it searches the area where sonar devices detected banging noises every thirty minutes on Tuesday, June 20.
Here is everything you need to know about the documentary, including what it’s about, when it’s on and where you can watch it.
What will Titanic Sub: Lost at Sea be about?
The documentary will feature expert interviews that reveal the science behind the vessel.
It will also feature exchanges with people who are “close to those onboard”, giving viewers the chance to get to know the crew members on Titan better.
Talking about it, the Managing Director of Content for ITN, Ian Rumsey, shared: “This programme will chart everything from the exploration itself, to the rise of extreme tourism, to the rescue attempts, but above all it will tell a very human story that has captured the nation which is about five people, all with families, who are trapped at the bottom of the ocean.
“Our expertise and heritage in fast-turnaround documentaries and reputation for responsible filmmaking means we always treat such stories with great sensitivity.”
