The Titan tragedy: The father and son who escaped from the accident revealed the shocking truth, the "ship owner" once ignored the risk warning

A friend of the victim said the father and son had planned to join the expedition, but then decided to withdraw because of concerns about the safety and design of the ship.

Titan carried 5 people including CEO OceanGate Stockton Rush, father and son Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood and Suleman Dawood, Titanic explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet and British billionaire Hamish Harding, Chairman of Action Aviation disappeared on June 18. while diving to the bottom of the sea to discover the Titanic.

A remote-controlled vehicle (ROV) has found Titan debris on the seabed of the North Atlantic, about 500 meters from the bow of the Titanic. US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said the debris was "consistent with a catastrophic explosion of the missing submarine".

It is known that for a year, Stockton Rush (one of the victims) tried to convince investor Jay Bloom in Las Vegas to buy his pair of submersible tickets to experience the feeling of visiting the wreck of the Titanic under the sea with his son. deep.

But the more he read about the Titan submersible, the more Bloom worried about its safety. So, Bloom said he politely turned down the opportunity at the last minute, citing other concerns.

Eventually, Bloom and his son's two seats were sold to British-Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman.

Bloom said he lost a good friend - actor Treat Williams - in a motorcycle accident less than two weeks ago. The tragedy of the Titan ship reminded him of what really matters in life.

"Every time I see a picture of the Pakistani businessman and his 19-year-old son, I think my son and I could have fallen into such a tragedy, but thank God," Bloom said.

On June 22, after the US Coast Guard announced that it had found pieces of Titan on the ocean floor, Bloom posted a series of Facebook messages between him and Rush from earlier this year, in which Rush denied the idea. thought the trip was very dangerous.

"While it is obviously risky, it is much safer than helicopter or scuba diving," Rush wrote in a text message. He affirmed that no one has been injured on the demilitarized submarine in the past 35 years.

As a private helicopter pilot, Bloom doesn't believe so. He was particularly concerned about Stockton's use of common components used in Titan, such as using a video game joystick to control the ship, and the new carbon fiber hull. He was also afraid to learn that passengers could not open the train doors from the inside, even in an emergency.

"The more I knew about what Stockton was doing, the more worried I became," Bloom said.

In the midst of news about the incident, Rob McCallum, who advised OceanGate when it was founded in 2009, revealed that OceanGate CEO ignored warnings about the risks of Titan submarines.

This person said he had sent many emails warning about the safety of the Titan submarine but was ignored by CEO Stockton Rush. McCallum also told Rush that Titan was a risk until it was tested for safety by an independent agency.

"I think you have the ability to put yourself and your customers in a dangerous position," McCallum wrote in an email to Rush about the riskiness of the Titan submarine used to explore the Titanic - a ship once said by the manufacturer. unsinkable before she sank on her maiden voyage in April 1912.

In response to the expert's warning, Rush told McCallum that he considers doubts about Titan's safety a "serious personal insult". "We've heard baseless screams of 'I'm going to kill someone' too often," Rush replied to an email from advisor OceanGate.

McCallum said he repeatedly urged OceanGate to conduct independent safety tests. "Until the submarine is classified, tested and proven, it should not be used for commercial deep-diving operations. I implore you to exercise caution during testing and do your best. While I appreciate entrepreneurship and innovation, you have the ability to put the entire industry at risk," McCallum wrote in an email.
