American financier Jay Bloom offered 'last minute' discounted price to sit in doomed Titan submersible with his son - but he turned it down over safety concerns

An American tycoon has revealed a text exchange with submersible chief executive Stockton Rush, who tried to convince he and his young son to pay for a reduced six-figure seat to see the Titanic by telling him: "It was safer than crossing the street."

An American tycoon has revealed how submersible chief executive Stockton Rush tried to convince he and his son to buy two tickets on the doomed Titan vessel.

Financier Jay Bloom shared the text exchange with Mr Rush months before the CEO died with four other passengers when the craft suffered a "catastrophic implosion."

He tried to offer his friend a "last minute price" of $AUD225,000, with the original cost of the seat valued about $365,000 in April for an expedition the following month.

The first messages started as far back as February, when the chief executive wondered if there was an interest to see the famous shipwreck in the Atlantic Ocean.

Mr Bloom said his son Sean had been "put a little scare in him" after one of his friends researched the dangers of travelling in deep waters.

"I'm happy to have a video call with him. Curious what the uninformed would say the danger is and whether it's real or imagined," Mr Rush responded.

The financier said his son was worried about "perceived threats to the vessel," such as a sperm whale or a giant squid attack compromising Titan's hull.

"Yeah, very stupid. The pressure is over 100 million pounds. No sperm whale or squid is ever going to be able to mess with the sub," Mr Rush replied.

"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 a non-military subs."

Three days later, Mr Rush would again try to reassure Mr Bloom and his son by sending a link to how deep sperm whales can go underwater.

Mr Bloom said he was not concerned about being eaten by a whale and decided to set up a Skype call, so his questions could be answered properly.

There would be limited text communication before Mr Rush sent a message on April 24, offering discounted tickets to see the Titanic wreck.

"Have a space on mission 1 (may 11-19) and 2 (may 20-28). Last minute price is $150k pp," the chief executive advised.

Mr Bloom said he would have to check his schedule to see if he could fit it in, as Mr Rush asked three days later: "Any luck?"

That trip would be later postponed to June 18 due to weather conditions.

Mr Bloom shared the messages to his Facebook page.

The financier even met face-to-face on March 1 with Mr Rush, who took him through the Titanic Exhibit at Luxor in Las Vegas before having lunch at a food court.

"He was absolutely convinced it was safer than crossing the street," Mr Bloom said on the post about his interactions with the creator of Titan.

Mr Rush also gave him a limited edition of a book of photos signed by him and French mariner Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, who was also aboard the submersible.

Mr Bloom advised he could not join them on the once-in-a-lifetime trip until 2024.

Their tickets were later sold to prominent Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman, the latter who was "terrified" to go.

The fifth person was adventurer and British billionaire Hamish Harding.

The five men entered Titan and started their 3,800m journey down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday morning.

However, less than two hours into the trip, mothership Polar Prince lost contact with the roughly six-metre long vessel, which sparked a large-scale international search.

The United States Coast Guard on Thursday (local time) confirmed pieces of debris found near the Titanic wreck belonged to the missing submersible.

"An ROV subsequently found additional debris, in consultation with experts from within the unified command, the debris is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber (of Titan)," Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger told reporters.

Undersea expert Paul Hanken said five major different pieces of debris had led experts to conclude they were the remains of the OceanGate Expeditions craft.

"The initial thing we found was a nose cone, which was outside of the (Titan) pressure hull. We then found a large debris field and within that large debris field we found the front and back of the pressure hull," he said to reporters.

"Shortly thereafter, we found a second, smaller debris field and within that debris field we found the other end of the pressure hull.

"(It) ultimately contained the totality of that pressure vehicle. That was our first indication that there was a catastrophic event."

It was revealed the US Navy had detected an "anomaly consistent with implosion or explosion" where Titan was reported missing hours after the sub departed.

The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada announced on Friday (local time) it has launched an investigation, as Polar Prince was a Canadian-flagged ship.

A team of investigators will travel to St Johns in Canada's Newfoundland and Labrador where they will "gather information and conduct interviews."

It will also coordinate its operation with other agencies.

TSB will provide updates throughout the investigation.

Submersible Update

Sad news to report the debris field of the submersible has been found near Titanic wreck. They believe that the submersible imploded. It is believed that the five people on board died instantly. The men on board were Hamish Harding, Shazada Dawood and his son Suleman, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and Stockton Rush. May they rest in peace.

Poor Suleman! He was so scared, yet he did it to be close to his dad.

Suleman was just a sweet person, who wanted to be supportive of his father, unfortunately at his own detriment.

I wish Suleman had listened to himself and not gone. 😥

He was just a lad. He should be enjoying his life.

Please be kind and remember him as the kind soul he was.

There is something I want to say about the whole Oceangate situation.

Make all the jokes you want about Stockton Rush. He was an idiot who thought he new better than experts/ignored their warnings because he wanted to be "great inavator" and his arrogance/stupidity caused the deaths of 4 people. I have 0 symphetaty for him especially since I have heard his name everywhere but I don't know the names of any one of the hundreds of refugees that drowned of the coast of Greece.

I don't know anything about Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Hamish Harding and Shahzada Dawood but they are billionaires who paid a quarter of a million dollars to be locked inside a pipe thats controled by a Logitec gamepad and dropped onto the Titanic so forgive me if I don't have any symphetaty to spare for them.

But Suleman Dawood was a 19 year old kid. According to his aunt he was scarred to go down to the Titanics wreck in the Titan but did so to not dissapoint his father, Shahzada Dawood. It wasn’t his idea to go thousands of meters below sea level, he didn’t pay 250k to be bolted shut in a pipe, he was just a teenager who agreed to do something he was scared of to make his father happy.

I've read a great deal of vitriol directed toward the passengers of this expedition, but they were still people with families and dreams. They likely suffered unimaginable terror and agony before the end, and their families continue to suffer now. Shahzada Dawood was obsessed with the Titanic from a young age (as was one of the other passengers an Englishman known as "Mr Titanic", who had funded other exploratory expeditions), and I'm sure we all know the places that an obsession can lead us, while his son did not really want to go (despite, or perhaps because of, his reported love of science fiction--anyone who reads sci fi knows what usually happens to daring explorers), but only got into the Titan to impress his father. I'm rather certain that he experienced a sense of doom closing in when they were bolted into the submersible, but the reassurance of a father, and the desire to live up to his expectations, can go a long way towards making a kid ignore even the most prescient of sentiments.

I know it's fashionable on this site to eat the rich (trust me, I sympathize) and laugh when they're hoisted by their own petard, but except in the case of the CEO, I'm not actually inclined to think that this is what happened here.

Missing Titanic Submarine Crew Believed To Be Dead After 'Catastrophic Implosion'

The Titanic Submarine that went missing on Sunday with five people on board suffered a “catastrophic implosion,” killing everyone on board, US Coast Guard Rear Adm. John Mauger said Thursday.     A remotely operated vehicle found the tail cone of the Titan about 1,600 feet away from the bow of the shipwreck, Mauger said. Tour company OceanGate Expeditions said the five passengers on board were…

(via Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood and son Suleman: Who is on board Titanic sub? - BBC News)

I see speculation about who is on the titanic submersible NOW:

Here is the data -

Hamish Harding - The 58-year-old British adventurer runs Action Aviation, a Dubai-based private jet dealership, and has completed several exploration feats.

Shahzada and Suleman Dawood - British businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, is from one of Pakistan's richest families. He was travelling with his son, Suleman, a 19-year-old student, on the sub.

Paul-Henry Nargeolet - 77, a former French Navy diver, was also on board.

Stockton Rush - the chief executive of OceanGate, the firm which runs the Titanic voyages - is on board, the company has confirmed.

[welcometoqueer]

so y’all remember in season 14 when Dean planned to trap himself inside a Ma’lak box and sink to the bottom of the ocean forever—to be sunk alive with Michael because being buried alive wasn’t safe enough-and had a vivid nightmare about his horrific fate if he went that route???

anyways, haha OceanGate, am I right?

#at least Dean was trying to save the world #and he had Sam to tell him that’s the stupidest plan ever #and the teenager that is on board because of his dad is equivalent to Dean and Sam tricking Jack to get into the box #apparently a true ​father and son relationship is dooming your child to a horrible fate in your footsteps #i meannnn #daedalus and icarus #Dean and Jack #and now this businessman and his son #mournful lol #doing my civic duty #and providing supernatural meme templates for the situation at hand #i encourage memes #I would but I’m lazy #tag me if you do #if someone can make memes out of these images that would be great #dean winchester #jack kline #they’re all his dads #jack’s dads #Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman #spn #supernatural #supernatural meme #supernatural fandom #archangel michael #sink the rich #oceangate #oceangategate #titanic #the titan
