However, he got cold feet due to concerns about the company&#8217;s approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A Change of Heart<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chris Brown, a sixty-one-year-old British digital marketing magnate, was all set to embark on the expedition. He had even paid a $10,000 deposit alongside his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fncs-carlson-if-youre-looking-for-election-rigging-look-no-further-than-media-treatment-of-hunter-biden-saga\/\" title=\"FNC's Carlson: 'If You're Looking for Election Rigging, Look No Further' Than Media Treatment of Hunter Biden Saga\">good friend<\/a>, Hamish Harding, who is currently missing. Their decision to join the expedition was made after a few beers on billionaire Richard Branson&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-bill-gates-hung-out-with-jeffrey-epstein-to-leverage-sex-offenders-connections-win-nobel-prize\/\" title=\"Report: Bill Gates Hung Out With Jeffrey Epstein To Leverage Sex Offender\u2019s Connections, Win Nobel Prize\">private island<\/a> in 2016, as reported by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/06\/21\/thrill-seeker-quit-titanic-trip-over-corner-cutting-fears\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New York Post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, Brown ultimately decided against it, stating, &#8220;the risks were too high in this instance, even though I&#8217;m not one to shy away from risk.&#8221; His concerns revolved around the design of the submarine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Concerns and Corner-Cutting<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of Brown&#8217;s main worries was the use of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/thrill-seeker-reveals-why-he-backed-out-of-missing-titanic-sub-voyage\/\" title=\"Thrill-seeker explains why he canceled Titanic sub adventure.\">customized  video game controller<\/a> from 2010 to operate the submersible. While video game controllers are commonly used to pilot high-tech machinery, such as U.S. military drones, Brown noticed that the sub seemed hastily put together, with &#8220;old scaffolding poles for the sub&#8217;s ballast.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Feeling uneasy, Brown reached out to the company, expressing his concerns and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/times-up-founders-allegedly-helped-cuomo-discredit-accuser-lindsey-boylan-investigation-finds\/\" title=\"TIME\u2019S UP Founders Allegedly Helped Cuomo Discredit Accuser Lindsey Boylan, Investigation Finds\">ultimately deciding<\/a> not to proceed. He believed that the submersible&#8217;s design was &#8220;cutting too many corners.&#8221; He requested a refund, stating, &#8220;I&#8217;m no longer able to go on this thing.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Hope Amidst Desperation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite his decision, Brown remains hopeful for the passengers of the sub. He has faith in his friend Hamish&#8217;s calm demeanor and strategic thinking, stating, &#8220;He&#8217;ll be extremely calm and will be processing plans, schemes, and ideas through his enormous brain. I fully expect he&#8217;ll be a calming influence on the others in the sub and will be giving them hope.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, the search for the sub intensifies as time runs out. The Coast Guard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/coast-guard-estimates-missing-titanic-sub-has-40-hours-of-breathable-air-left\">estimates<\/a> that the sub has less than 40 hours of oxygen left. Rescue crews are currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/government-officials-hear-banging-sounds-underwater-near-where-sub-disappeared\">investigating<\/a> underwater noises in the search area, hoping to locate the sub&#8217;s crew. However, nothing can be confirmed at this moment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A wealthy man almost joined OceanGate&#8217;s lost Titan submarine expedition but backed out due to concerns about the company&#8217;s shortcuts.
