Former Titanic Sub Passenger Details What Really Happens On Expedition
—an investor in OceanGate who toured the wreckage 350 miles off the coast of Canada in 2021—put it, the expedition as "basically going to another planet."on June 21. "It's a tube that's comfortable, but not spacious."
In the beginning, the submersible's cabin is "very hot and stuffy," but Newman said the water surrounding the vessel drops to 29 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit as it submerges deeper into the ocean. "By the time you hit the bottom, the water down there is below what standard freezing temperature is," he explained. "That's going to conduct right through that metal, so it was cold when we were at the bottom. You had to layer up—we had wool hats on and were doing everything to stay warm at that bottom."And though Newman felt "very safe" while riding in the sub, he noted "there are risks" in taking such a challenging expedition.
"This is not a Disney ride, right?" he remarked. "We're going places that very few people have been, and this is inventing things.", missing since June 18, must have accepted these risks prior to their mission. "None of these people were people that were I would consider tourists—tourists is such a bad term," he said. "These are people who lived on the edge and loved what they were doing and if anything's going on, these are people that are that are calm and thinking this through and doing what they can to stay alive. So this is a good set of people.
