Within a matter of days after the disappearance of the Titan submersible, a captivating and thought-provoking documentary was released, chronicling the immense public response to the search for the vessel.
Channel 5 from the United Kingdom aired the documentary titled Titanic Sub: Lost at Sea on June 22, shortly after the conclusion of the search for the Titan and its passengers. The morning of June 22 was filled with concern that the passengers would run out of air, but news of the submersible’s implosion, potentially occurring just hours after its launch, dashed any hopes of finding the passengers alive.
The documentary, skillfully produced by ITN, a fast-turnaround production company, does justice to the sensitive story. ITN’s Managing Director of Content, Ian Rumsey, describes the documentary as an exploration of “everything from the expedition itself to the emergence of extreme tourism and the rescue attempts.” It aims to tell the “very human story that has captivated the nation” – the story of five individuals, all with families, trapped at the bottom of the ocean.
Unfortunately, interested viewers outside of the U.K. missed the original airing of the documentary. However, viewers in the United States and elsewhere have another opportunity to witness this significant global event. Although it requires a few steps, there is a streaming option available.
