Tragedy Strikes as Titanic Dive Ends in Disaster

Ross Kemp had planned to film a TV show that involved a dive to the Titanic wreck site in the OceanGate submersible, but the production was cancelled over safety concerns.

The TV company, Atlantic Productions, deemed the Titan submersible "not fit for purpose" after carrying out checks.

The Titan sub later imploded during a trip to the wreck, killing all five passengers, including the CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, British billionaire explorer Hamish Harding, French diver Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and father and son, Shahzada Dawood and Suleman Dawood.

Leading deep-sea exploration specialist Rob McCallum had previously warned Mr. Rush about the safety concerns regarding the Titan, but the production company went ahead with the dive.
