Chris Brown, 61, was determined to take a ride on the Titanic with his friend Hamish Harding. The Briton had paid a 10 percent advance for his seat on the submarine, but eventually backed out. “The quality of the technology and materials worried me. In the end I thought the risk was too great and so I asked for my money back,” says “The Sun.”
At best, Titan will float to the surface, but it has not yet been found. At worst, it became entangled at a depth of four kilometers and suffered the same fate as the Titanic itself. Time passes mercilessly, because tomorrow afternoon (around 4.30pm) the oxygen is gone.
Brown is watching the situation closely. The digital marketing guru feels powerless at the thought that his companion may meet a tragic end. “After a few beers on Necker Island (Richard Branson’s private island; ed.) we decided to take the step together,” it sounds like. “We were one of the first to get involved in this adventure. The price was still much lower at that time: about 90 thousand euros per person (participants nowadays pay 230 thousand euros; ed.). Each of us puts 10 percent on the table as an advance. “
However, in the following years, some technical flaws appeared, as a result of which deadlines were not met in the development process. They used old scaffolding tubes for the ballast tanks. If you build your own submarine, I think that’s fine. “This was a business venture,” Brown said.
The operating system – a converted game console with buttons of four different colors – did not inspire confidence either. “I like to risk myself, but a lot of corners have been cut in the safety process here. I sent an email with a message saying I no longer wanted to be involved, got my advance refund and that was the end of it.”
look. What does the submarine Titan look like?
Brown is now hoping for an ultimate miracle. “Hamish is a very nice guy, and easy going too. He won’t get upset even in this stressful situation and will continue to work with great wisdom. I hope he can pass on his calming influence to the other occupants of the submarine.”
