British documentary-maker Ross Kemp turned down a trip to see the Titanic on an OceanGate submersible for a television show.
The former EastEnders star, 58, had been keen to take part in the mission last year but it was deemed to be unsafe.
Prof Shalit told the PA news agency: “The production company, who are well known and renowned, looked into the sub and decided it was unsafe on every level and weren’t prepared to use it.“It is deeply sad for the families who have suffered such a terrible loss. The US Coast Guard offered its “deepest condolences” to the families of the five men after the tail cone of the submersible was found around 1,600ft from the bow of the Titanic wreckage off the coast of Newfoundland.British billionaire Hamish Harding, UK-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his 19-year-old son Suleman Dawood, the vessel’s pilot Stockton Rush and French national Paul-Henri Nargeolet were on board.
