The disaster surrounding the implosion of the Titanic Titan submarine has overshadowed the heartbreak after hundreds of Pakistani migrants are believed to have died after a boat capsized.
Last week, an overcrowded fishing vessel capsized, with hundreds of people believed to have been killed in the disaster. More than 300 Pakistani nationals had been travelling on the boat off the coast of Greece in hopes of finding a new life.
During a guest appearance on This Morning, TV presenter Isla Traquair stated that this tragedy was also important to acknowledge following the intense coverage of the Titan submarine.
"I think it's important to acknowledge and we should have space for more than one tragedy," she said before adding: "Of course, up to potentially 750 people who were on that capsized migrant vessel of Greece, there is at least 100 children there.
"But, because of, of course, the Titan, the Titanic, the fact these five people were all wealthy – there's just way more attention and resources that have gone that way.
"I think we do need to acknowledge all those lives lost sea."
Host Alison Hammond added: "I love the fact you've just brought it to the attention of the nation – thank you, Deepest sympathy with all the families involved."
The chairman of Pakistan's Senate, Muhammed Sadiq Sanjrani announced the number of those onboard as he offered the country's deepest condolences to their loved ones.
"This devastating incident underscores the urgent need to address and condemn the abhorrent act of illegal human trafficking," he said.
Discussing the recent tragedy surrounding the Titan vessel imploding, Dermot explained that there was proof of a "catastrophic implosion", before adding that the five men onboard were announced dead, as an emotional Alison shook her head.
He continued: "A senior official in the navy confirmed an existing secret system designed to pick up audio heard the sound consisting with an implosion, I think on Sunday but obviously it wasn't conclusive so they had to carry on searching.
"The one thing that any expert you see interviewed all the television just says well, at least they died instantly."
Isla added: "It is the only thing of comfort I guess for the families that they wouldn't have even known.
"The pressure down there it's it's huge as 4000 tonnes per metre this it's like the weight of the Eiffel Tower, so if there was any crack or anything, we wouldn't have known, it would go quick."
The Scottish broadcaster added: "There has already been criticism and speculation about the fact that this is completely unregulated.
"The fact there's been concerns about the vessels before they went down there and also who is responsible, this is unchartered territory, who is responsible for this? This is extreme tourism."
