Former OceanGate tourist calls his 2021 Titanic sub trip a 'kamikaze operation'
A former OceanGate Expeditions customer who took a trip to see the Titanic wreckage two years ago described the dive as a "kamikaze operation." An international search and rescue operation is ongoing for five crew members on OceanGate's Titan sub, which went missing Sunday on a planned deep sea tourist expedition. Arthur Loibl, a retired German businessman and adventurer who went on the same trip in 2021, shared his experience with OceanGate in an interview with The Associated Press. "You have to be a little bit crazy to do this sort of thing," Loibl said. He explained that the idea of touring the Titanic wreckage came to him on a trip to the South Pole in 2016.
