Man who paid £87,000 to travel in submarine to Titanic calls it a ‘suicide mission’

In a daring quest to explore the legendary Titanic wreck off the coast of Canada, the deep-diving vessel Titan embarked on a remarkable voyage that has captured the world’s attention. Arthur Loibl, a seasoned German adventurer who had previously delved into the depths of the ocean aboard the same submersible, shared his experiences and expressed his gratitude for surviving what he described as a perilous adventure.

Recalling his own journey in August 2021, Loibl emphasized the challenges encountered during the mission and acknowledged his fortunate escape. “I consider myself incredibly lucky,” exclaimed the 60-year-old Bavarian entrepreneur. The voyage to the iconic shipwreck, which involved descending over 12,000 meters, was not without its obstacles. Loibl revealed that the first submarine malfunctioned, forcing them to abort a dive at 1,600 meters. Delays due to electrical issues further hindered their progress, leading Loibl to speculate that similar problems may have contributed to the current predicament of the Titan crew.
