The popular YouTuber, MrBeast, recently disclosed a chilling encounter related to the ill-fated OceanGate Titanic submarine. Known for his daredevil stunts and philanthropic gestures, MrBeast was offered an opportunity to explore the Titanic’s wreckage in the submarine that subsequently underwent a horrifying implosion.
The OceanGate Titanic submarine was in the pursuit of exploring the Titanic wreckage when it tragically lost contact on June 18 during its descent to the ocean bed1. Following an extensive search for the missing submarine and its five unfortunate passengers, the US Coast Guard revealed on June 22 that the vessel had suffered a catastrophic implosion, taking the lives of all on board instantaneously.
MrBeast’s decision to decline the OceanGate Titanic expedition turned out to be life-saving.
In a surprising revelation, three days post the devastating event, MrBeast shared that he was approached for a journey in the very same submarine. The 25-year-old YouTuber, in a tweet dated June 25, informed his followers that he was invited for an expedition in the OceanGate Titanic earlier in the month but had declined the offer.
In his tweet, he stated, “I was invited earlier this month to ride the titanic submarine, I said no. Kind of scary that I could have been on it”. The YouTuber also shared a screenshot of a text message that read, “Also, I’m going to the Titanic in a submarine late this month. The team would be stoked to have you along”.
Well-known for his extreme adventures and content creation, MrBeast and his friends had embarked on a daring journey to the bottom of the world in late 2022. The team had undertaken the challenge to survive for 50 hours in the harsh conditions of Antarctica.
However, MrBeast expressed relief over his decision to not participate in the OceanGate Titanic mission this time. He pointed out that another YouTuber, DALLMYD, had accepted the company’s offer just a few weeks prior to the disaster. The unfortunate expedition, known as Mission 3, had been called off twice and was ultimately cancelled due to adverse weather conditions and control issues within the submarine.
In the light of such events, it seems that MrBeast’s decision to decline the offer, while initially seeming to be a missed opportunity, ended up being a life-saving choice. His story serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictability of life and the profound impact that a single decision can have.
