Sebastian Harris, 13, said a lack of oxygen in the Mir II submersible caused him to fall asleep suddenly.
He added: "While we got down to [the] depth where it flowed over the bow, I spent some time placing a plaque. And then shortly after that, you know, as far as I knew, I fell asleep essentially.
Speaking to The Story, he said: ""So I looked up and I saw that we were at 17 per cent. And I reached back and I opened the O2 bottle and Anatoly turned and he said, ‘What are you doing?’ -- And I said 'He's passed out' -- And Anatoly then reached back and he just cranked that bottle open and it was literally inside of 10 seconds, as if somebody flipped a switch and Sebastian was back to, ‘Whoa, this is so cool’.
He suggested the doomed crew "literally blinked and had no idea what happened to them" because "it takes your spinal column nanoseconds to register to your brain that there's a problem." McCallum, a consultant for OceanGate when the company started in 2009, was threatened with legal action by Ocean Gate's lawyer.
