The friend of the British billionaire aboard the sunken OceanGate vessel is breaking his silence for the first time.
According to him, he pulled out of the ride at the last moment after his gut feeling told him that this was an activity that was destined for doom. In the same way, he says that he wishes that he never let his friend and billionaire Hamish Harding go aboard because it was dangerous.
He recalls how everything about the ride was so daunting and even if someone paid him to sit in it, he would think twice.
As one can imagine, these reports are being taken well by others, especially the family members of those on board that vessel. Sources have revealed how devastating everything has been in such a short span of time. And hearing things like these never helps.
Chris Brown says that he was just so shocked and baffled when he learned about the great risks attached to this journey. And despite paying at the start, he demanded the firm refund his payments, there and then.
Even expert doctors have spoken about how terrifying this entire journey has been for obvious reasons. They feel that such a vessel never had the capability of going down in the deep waters.
Other reports spoke about how the company was really cutting out a lot of corners and it was just so bizarre to begin with.
To pay this much and put your life in danger was not something that anyone had ever recommended.
From the oldest scaffolding poles to the fact that it was being steered through a remote controller that was worth a mere $30, people found it so hard to accept why anyone would every go on a trip that spelled doom to begin with.
