You know what they say: If a horse crushes you into a puff of dust, you get right back on. Or something along those lines. An Ohio billionaire is planning to take a deep-sea submersible to the Titanic to prove the industry is safer in the wake of the doomed Ocean Gate vessel that imploded last year. Real estate investor Larry Connor said he and Triton Submarine s co-founder Patrick Lahey will plunge more than 3.7 kilometres to the famous shipwreck in a two-person submersible.
The duo said they want to prove that the trek can be done without disaster — despite the implosion of the Titan submersible in June last year. “I want to show people worldwide that while the ocean is extremely powerful, it can be wonderful and enjoyable and really kind of life-changing if you go about it the right way.” According to Lahey, Connor phoned him a few days after the ill-fated Titan trip to discuss building a 'better sub'.
