Stockton Rush Was One Of Five Titan Passengers Destroyed In A Split Second – Who Replaced Him In The Fatal Plunge – His Message
He feels blessed Jay Bloom, big investor in Las Vegas, where rejected pressure from OceanGate’s CEO Stockton Rush to enter the submarine Titanwhich was destroyed in a split second in the Atlantic Ocean, trying to dive the Titanic wreck.
The investor turned down two last-minute tickets, one for himself and one for his son, though Stockton Rush, who was one of five Titan passengers crushed in a split second, offered him a discount 100,000 dollars, that is, $150,000 “a head,” against the $250,000 that was the usual ticket price.
In a Facebook post, Jay Bloom described what happened posting some of the text messages she exchanged with Russ.
“In February, Stockton asked me and my son, Sean, to go with him on the Titanic dive, which would take place in May. Both May dives were postponed due to weather until June 18, date the trip took place”reports.
The investor expressed his concerns about the security of the venture. “Stockton told me ‘although there is obviously a risk, it’s a lot safer than flying in a helicopter or scuba diving. There hasn’t been a single injury in 35 years on a civilian submarine.” It was absolutely convinced for what he said. But he made a big mistake. He believed passionately in what he did.”he emphasized.
Bloom said: “I told him that due to scheduling we couldn’t go until next year. Our seats went to Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Suleman Dawood, two of the five who lost their lives on this excursion…”
“Rest in peace Stockton and crew. As for Sean and I… we’re going to take a minute to stop and smell the roses. Tomorrow is never certain. Make the most of every day.”
