American billionaire plans daring Titanic expedition

The Titanic was a luxury British passenger ship that sank during its maiden voyage. On April 14, 1912, the ship collided with an iceberg, resulting in a disaster in which over 1,500 people died. Despite its advanced watertight compartments, the Titanic was once considered unsinkable. The wreck was discovered at the bottom of the Atlantic in 1985, attracting significant media and public interest.

Dives to a depth of approximately 12,500 feet don't always end successfully. Despite advanced technology, adventurers sometimes do not return from such expeditions. In June of last year, a tragic incident occurred. A group traveling to the Titanic's wreck perished in the abyss of the Atlantic, allegedly due to a failure to respond to supposed problems with the submarine.

Five individuals were onboard the Titan: OceanGate director 61-year-old Stockton Rush, 48-year-old British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman, 58-year-old British businessman Hamish Harding, and 77-year-old Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a former diver in the French Navy.

Larry Connor, an American multi-billionaire from Ohio, and Patrick Lahey (co-founder of Triton Submarines) wish to descend to the bottom of the Atlantic to view the Titanic's wreck. He believes that the key to success is proper preparation and reliable equipment.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the billionaire stated, "I want to show people worldwide that while the ocean is extremely powerful, it can be wonderful and enjoyable and really kind of life-changing if you go about it the right way." Currently, we do not know the exact date of his maritime journey.
