Hear from the Titan's crew before the tragedy

All five passengers on board the Titan submersible have died after a "catastrophic implosion", the US Coast Guard says. British businessman Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, French explorer Paul-Henry Nargeolet and Stockton Rush - the chief executive of OceanGate, the firm behind the dive – had been missing since Sunday. In the above clip, from the Travel Show documentary Take me to the Titanic filmed in summer 2022, we get a glimpse of Rush ahead of the voyage we now know would end in tragedy. In the clip, we also hear from two passengers on board a previous expedition, television professional Jaden Pan and banker Renata Rojas.
