A new documentary will reveal exclusive audio from the search for the doomed Titan sub that gave false hope for those onboard.

A documentary looking into the infamous Titan submersible, which set off to visit the wreckage of the Titanic on June 18, 2023, is set to reveal shocking new audio of what crew could hear whilst trying to find and rescue the people on board, changing everything about the search.

Passengers onboard included Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman Dawood, and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, all of whom sadly died after the submersible suffered a 'catastrophic implosion' 3,500m below sea level.

The two-part programme, which will air on Channel 5 next week, is called The Titan Sub Disaster: Minute by Minute.

The never-heard-before audio was recorded by the Canadian Air Force, who heard the so-called ‘banging’ from day one of their search.

This lead some to wonder if the sub's occupants were still inside and attempting to signal for help - but little did they know this was far from the case.

Ryan Cooke, a journalist for CBC News, said that the discovery of this audio 'changed everything'.

Many concerns were raised about the Titan submersible.

A statement by ITN said: “It will create a detailed picture of events surrounding the submersible’s expedition to the wreck of the Titanic, assess the scale of the mission and ask what lessons have been learned from the tragedy.”

Talking to ITN, Dan Walker, a news reader who announced the conclusion of the tragedy, said: “I remember being told in my ear that they're going to announce that there's been a catastrophic event and sadly they've all died.

“It's the end that you feared would happen, that you sort of knew would happen.

“But there is nothing that prepares you for that actual moment when you say those five people on board, they are sadly no longer with us.”

Contact was lost with the vessel in June 18 2023, prompting a wide ranging search effort.

During the efforts to locate the Titan sub and re-establish contact, a rhythmic banging noise was heard, which gave some hope that those who were on board the vessel might still be alive.

As per the Wall Street Journal, the US Navy picked up a noise it thought was the Titan sub's implosion shortly after contact was lost, meaning search and rescue efforts picking up the banging noises were not detecting signs of life.

Hours after the oxygen would have run out for the inhabitants of the Titan sub, the US Coast Guard also found debris during their search.

Further fragments of the submersible were then discovered, along with some human remains, which confirmed the deaths of those onboard.

Following the tragedy, a number of people came forward and said they had concerns about the Titan sub, with some directly urging Stockton Rush to reconsider ever going down.
