Although the Titanic submarine story is still unfolding in the news, a quick turnaround documentary titled Titanic Sub: Lost at Sea is on the way – here’s how to watch it if you’re in the US and what time and date it will be available on streaming.
On June 18, the Titan – OceanGate’s only submersible capable of reaching the Titanic’s wreckage – went on an expedition in the North Atlantic Ocean with five people aboard. However, less than two hours into its trip, the vessel lost contact with the surface ship.
Since then, no one has heard or seen from the submarine, with rescue teams in a race against the clock as they try to locate the poor souls who remain trapped in the Titan deep below the sea’s surface.
Due to the submersible’s small size, OceanGate explained that it had just 96 hours’ worth of oxygen — meaning its supply would be depleted sometime on Thursday, 22 June, although this depends on the ship and those inside it. As the online community continues to theorize what went wrong, a new documentary is set to air tonight to provide updates on the situation.

Alongside interviews with experts speaking about the science of the vessel, it will speak to people “close to those onboard”.
Ian Rumsey, managing director of content for ITN, said: “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.”
