Arthur Loibl, who visited the site in 2021 in the OceanGate Titan submersible, said he was ‘incredibly lucky’ to survive his trip.
A German adventurer who went to the site of the Titanic wreck two years ago on the missing Titan submarine has described the voyage as a “suicide mission”.
According to the German outlet Bild, Arthur Loibl, 60, said he was “incredibly lucky” to survive his visit to the Atlantic wreck site in 2021.
“It was a suicide mission back then!” said Mr Loibl, who said his first submarine didn’t work, and that there were “electrical problems”.
Mr Loibl said he was on the voyage with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and Paul-Henry Nargeolet – both of whom are believed to be passengers on the missing Titan.
His comments come as passengers disclosed details of previous voyages by OceanGate’s tiny sub and said it frequently lost contact with the surface.
