Titanic: Already a must-see documentary on the disappearance of the Titanic submarine on Channel 5

The timing is questionable to say the least… Britain’s Channel 5 has indeed revealed that it will be airing a documentary on the Titan, a submarine set to investigate the wreckage of the Titanic, which has been missing for days in the Atlantic Ocean. .

An ITN-produced documentary called Titanic Sub: Lost at Sea airs this Thursday at 7pm in the UK. The broadcast comes just hours after the submarine, with five people on board, runs out of air.

It is clear that if the submarine is not found by then, the interest in the vehicle, its mission and those on board will be even greater.

The report promises to “go beyond” current media coverage and inform viewers while offering a broader reflection on the voyage, its passengers and the excitement surrounding the Titanic’s demise. Through interviews with experts, the film also examines the growth of extreme tourism.

Production company ITN is known for quickly producing documentaries that return to the news. He recently did a show about Nicola Bull, a British woman who went missing in January and was found dead in a river three weeks later.

However, ITN’s chief content officer Ian Ramsey reassured viewers in a statement. “The program covers everything from the rise of extreme tourism to rescue efforts, but above all it tells the human story that captured the nation’s attention: five people, all with their families, trapped at the bottom. of the ocean”.

“Thanks to our experience and expertise in the field of documentaries and our reputation as responsible filmmakers, we always treat these matters with great sensitivity..”
