Chilling last text of British billionaire stuck in missing Titanic sub revealed
The chilling final text of a British billionaire trapped inside the Titanic-bound submersible that vanished deep below the water off Newfoundland on Sunday revealed that weather had been bad for sea travel in the days leading up to the trip.
A day before the OceanGate Expeditions-operated sub was launched, renowned world explorer Hamish Harding sent his friend, retired NASA astronaut Colonel Terry Virts, an update on his grand voyage set to drop 12,500 feet overwater to view the famous shipwreck.

As a former submarine sailor, I can assure you that regardless of how bad the weather might be, once you’re below 600 feet, the weather on the surface isn’t even noticed.
None of them are mentioning the alien base near the wreckage of the Titanic
What are currents like when you get below 600 feet? Are they constant?
@Kathyrn J Maver We were in a BAD storm off the coast of Washington State and at 600 feet we barely felt any shifting, where as at periscope depth, the boat was rolling 35° side to side. Trust me – at 12,000 feet, you’d feel nothing.
@Arnold Fernbladst Fascinating. and thank you for your service!
@Joshua Bacon Yes, it’s suspiciously also close to the deep sea tinfoil hat factory. A coincidence? I think not.
“The weather is bad.”
Most bone-chilling, heart-attack inducing and absolutely terrifying message of all time.
I shat myself when I read it
Im trembling in terror this is mind bending
Typical boomer text about weather.
@Brian Marcelo😂😂😂😂
We also had bad weather yesterday. I texted my wife about it and now she has PTSD
Tragic and terrifying.
Hilarious and Awe Inspiring you meant
No it’s terrible news! I’m praying and t the eating up from this tragic situation
These people have too much pride during pride month
@Enclave Corporal Bro thinks that being trapped in a submersible losing oxygen slowly second by second is funny.
He’s only two years younger than my dad. I can’t imagine losing him in such a brutal way. I truly feel for this man’s family. He has two teenage sons and a wife.
It might not have been brutal
He’s a billionaire and has massive insurance policy’s. His family is ok
@Randy Swansonfinancially they are okay but mentally probably not
@randyswanson6912 some of the comments on these videos, absolutely disgusting….
Brutal? He chose death lol
It was doomed from the start, that subs crush depth was only 200m deeper than the titanic, that’s way to close a margin to even consider going on that particular sub.
Nah it probably could withstand more, and the safety margin was calculated into the max dive depth. They don’t say hey this is the absolute max, it could be 5-10% more than than that based on whatever margin they used.
@OH Snap crush depth is max, there is no 5-10% for error. Pressure at that depth isn’t forgiving.
@nightmarestitcher474 did they say crush depth? Or is it rated for that depth? Big difference, all I’ve seen it say that it’s the maximum depth, which could mean anything. I’ve worked on industrial equipment for a long time, if let’s say a construction hoist has a max capacity of weight, the machine can take more than that, we even test it with 120% weight to make sure the brakes can still work with it overloaded, but the maximum is still below that point. That’s because of saftey margins incorporated in the desgin. 13000 ft could be just the safety margin, it more than likely be able to go further down without losing structural integrity, they just use 13000 to make sure your not actually testing the actual limit where the danger actual is
They use dollarama urinals and an Xbox controller
Way TOO close a margin. TOO has an excess of Os, and is used to denote excess. That’s how you remember to use TOO or TO.
They have used this submersible on several trips. The structure probably became compromised because of the repeated exposure to all that pressure.
That’s possible. And, I assume, the longer they’re down there, the weaker the vessel gets.
@Vegas NV Could have imploded or been crushed by now.
Exactly what I’m thinking, sadly.
@xSevenDevilsxpretty sure that was her point.
Yea something that takes humans down to 13,000 feet has to be maintained and inspected to perfection standards.
Everyone is talking about the game control being the big issue but actually the biggest issue is the lack of safety. Not even a Basic Safety Beacon on board.
Just because you understood the risks doesn’t mean you expected to die that day??….
I Under stand that Sunny Bono didn’t expect to hit a tree sking ⛷️ a dying !! I just think this is just horrible that this happened but how did they get a permit to go to the titanic . I thought its a grave site 13000 feet under water 💦
It makes me not care one bit.
@Randy SwansonI agree 100% there are things we just shouldn’t do!
@NuteBecause they are rich, in case you don’t understand, that means they have money, lots of it! And that can get you just about anything you want.
@Derrick Thompson Yep, like a $250k coffin, and a burial at sea.
It”s a goner. Something went terribly wrong. Otherwise the submersible could have been emitting pings to the mothership and shot off emergency buoys with sonar and RF blaring SOS.
He hated safety regulations because they stifled “creativity” aka cost too much money 😂
if it had sonar. it did not.
They only communicate with text messages according to Sky News Australia.
@Oscar M He could’ve been the CEO of White Star Line in another life with that comment. 😂
That was so chilling especially the part about the weather
Chilling? you need to learn the meaning, lol
