Netflix has been slammed by the netizens
Streaming giant Netflix has been slammed by the netizens for dropping the trailer of its new documentary, 'The Deepest Breath', on Twitter, just days after the Titan Submersible imploded, killing all five onboard. The documentary is about Alessia Zecchini, who holds a world record in freediving. The trailer did not go down well with the netizens and they criticised the OTT giant's move to release the trailer at the wrong time.
A Twitter user wrote, "I'm not sure this is the best show to advertise during the Titanic submarine thing."
Another user wrote, "Probably not the best-timed tweet you've ever done."
A third added: "Wow epic timing, and not in a good way. Who decided this was going up?"

However, it is to be noted that 'Titanic' was mentioned on Netflix's July films list before the Titan was first reported missing since licensing deals for films are struck far in advance of the air date.
Meanwhile, a "catastrophic implosion" that believed to have destroyed the Titan submersible, would have happened with incredible force and speed given the crushing water pressure on the floor of the ocean.
The remains of the Titanic rest on the seabed in the North Atlantic at a depth of some 3,800 meters (12,400 feet).
At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi).
The Titan, built by OceanGate Inc. of Everett, Washington, was designed to sustain the extreme water pressure at the depth of the Titanic and had made previous dives to the wreck.
