Revealed How Two Popular Billionaires Escaped Titan's deep-sea trek

 

 

 

In a post to Facebook, tycoon Jay Bloom shared texts between himself and OceanGate chief executive Stockton Rush, who insisted the voyage would be “safer than scuba diving”.

 

 

 

Mr Bloom said he turned down the tickets offered to him and his son at the discounted price of $150,000 per person because of scheduling.

 

 

 

His son had also raised safety concerns, he said.

 

One of the texts from Mr Rush – who was killed when Titan imploded on its trip to the shipwreck – said: “While there’s obviously risk it’s way safer than flying in a helicopter or even scuba diving. There hasn’t been even an injury in 35 years in non-military subs.”

Mr Bloom said he is “sure he really believed what he was saying, but he was very wrong”.

 

He said he last saw the OceanGate chief in March when Mr. Rush was “absolutely convinced” the dive would be “safer than crossing the street”.

 

“I told him that due to scheduling we couldn’t go until next year,” Mr Bloom said.

 

“Tomorrow is never promised. Make the most of today.”

 

In an earlier post – before the debris was found – he had said: “So this is crazy… I got invited to go on this dive. If I accepted, I would’ve been one of the five onboard right now.”

Meanwhile, Ned Nwoko, businessman and senator representing Delta north, says he was supposed to join the tourists who lost their lives in an underwater trip to see the Titanic wreck.

 

Nwoko spoke on Friday in a post via his Instagram while mourning Hamish Harding, a British businessman and his friend who was among the five passengers aboard Titan, the missing submersible.

The US Coast Guard (USCG) said the passengers died from a “catastrophic implosion” after debris believed to be from Titan was found near the Titanic, four days after its disappearance.

 

Nwoko said he was heartbroken by the loss and described Harding as a man who loved adventures and challenges.

 

 

 

The senator said he and the deceased businessman had gone on a few exploits together and were meant to go and see the Titanic wreck via the Titan but he opted out owing to national duties.

 

“We both went on a very dangerous expedition to the Southpole Antarctica a few years back. He was a gulf stream pilot who flew across the world in a record-breaking expedition by Guinness world record for circumnavigation of the earth some years ago,” Nwoko said.

 

He descended into the Mariana. He also invited me on his space shuttle last year and this very Titan ill-fated adventure but I was tied down with national duties.

 

“Above all, he was a partner in the various types of research into the eradication of malaria in Africa project. He was very enthusiastic about it and always gave his support at every given opportunity.

 

His last message to me was this last Sunday when he told me they were ready to dive to the Titanic if the weather permits. He loved adventure and challenges.

 

“My heart bleeds for his dear wife and kids who have become family friends over the years. We will surely miss his wealth of experience.”

 

Also aboard Titan were Shahzada Dawood, a prominent Pakistani man, and his teenage son Suleman; Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a French diver, and Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate, the ocean exploration company responsible for the Titanic tour.
