A Titan submarine passenger was told three chilling words by OceanGate CEO – and the doomed vessel’s driver – before the tragic catastrophe that claimed the lives of five people in June.
According to reports, the Titan submersible was just two hours into its deep-sea dive to visit the wreckage of the Titanic when it imploded, killing all passengers.
Those onboard were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, British billionaire Hamish Harding, and French explorer Paul-Henry Nargeolet. Their fate was not initially known after the Titan lost contact with its mothership, but days after a frantic search was launched, the grisly truth came to light…
Sadly, the Coast Guard confirmed that the Titan submarine had imploded, and that the chances of there being any survivors were extremely low.
In the wake of the accident – which grabbed the attention of the world – there were many questions posed. The obvious one was how could such a thing happen? Yet there were other, perhaps more alarming, forays made into the safety of the OceanGate operation as a whole.
Indeed, one person who has come under fire is Stockton Rush, the company’s CEO, with reports suggesting that he made a blood-chilling, three-word comment when boarding the Titan submarine for a dive before the one in which he would meet his end.
As per reports, Brian Weed, a documentary cameraman working for Discovery Channel’s “Expedition Unknown” TV show, went for a test drive in the Titan back in May 2021.
Yet he recalled a “very strange” conversation that took place between he and Rush after the former asked the latter a question regarding the safety of the sub.
Rush is purported to have replied: “Well, there’s four or five days of oxygen on board.” Then, when Weed asked: “What if they don’t find you?”, Rush responded “You’re dead anyway.”
WE MAY NEVER KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHAT LED TO THE TITAN SUB DISASTER THAT CLAIMED FIVE LIVES … but in the aftermath there…

Weed ultimately pulled out of filming the proposed documentary amid concerns over safety. The “Expedition Unknown” production, meanwhile, was canceled.
As per reports, the Coast Guard has been collecting the remaining debris from the wreck site of the Titan recently, which includes presumed human remains that will be analyzed by medical professionals in the US.
According to new reports, recovery and transfer of the remaining parts from the wreck site in the Atlantic Ocean was completed last Wednesday (October 4).
Rest in peace to the poor souls who lost their lives onboard the Titan submarine. If you want to learn more about the story, check out the article below:
