Aaron Newman, an investor in OceanGate, took a trip down to the Titanic in 2021 and said he felt safe during the entire journey.
"Our focus is just hoping for this Hollywood ending to happen. We know the Coast Guard and everybody else is working so hard. And the OceanGate crew is working as hard as they can to possibly find this if anything is out there," he said."It's promising but there's work to be done, and that's what the focus is."
"You're getting in this craft — you're bolted in. It's a tube that's comfortable, but not spacious," he said."And at the surface, when you first get in, it gets very hot and stuffy and so you're laying down and you have a little packed lunch with you and a little bit of water, but you're planning for the day to be there."
"By the time you hit the bottom, the water down there is below what standard freezing temperature is," he said, adding the water is 29 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit."That's going to conduct right through that metal, so it was cold when we were at the bottom. You had to layer up — we had wool hats on and were doing everything to stay warm at that bottom."
The craft also only has enough life support to sustain five crew members for about 96 hours, or four days, OceanGate released a statement about the incident on June 19.
